FSX Douglas Super DC-3 Upgrade

Douglas Super DC-3 Upgrade modernizes the default DC-3 in FSX with Super DC-3 performance, extending service ceiling to 23,000 feet and enabling cruises beyond 800 nm with updated passenger and cargo capability. Real-world-based configuration, refined flight controls and engine tuning, plus a dedicated realistic sound set, complete the overhaul.

This is an upgrade from the default DC3 in FSX to the Super DC-3. Although only a few Super DC-3s were built, many still fly today, with upgraded engines and flight controls. This upgrade will change all of your default DC-3s to Super DC-3s unless you follow the instructions provided. With this upgrade the aircraft can fly up to 23,000 feet, and cruise for more than 800 nm with a modern passenger and cargo load. The aircraft is based and configured on real world data and includes realistic sounds (separate folder). By Douglas E. Trapp.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D add-on

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place files per the readme

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
