Beginners guide to starting the Douglas DC-3 from cold and dark in Microsoft Flight Simulator
The Douglas DC-3 "Dakota" has arrived in Microsoft Flight Simulator as part of the 40th Anniversary update, and it's wonderful! In this video I walk through firing the plane up from cold and dark and take it for a quick circuit. Apologies in advance for the lack-of-talent displayed in landing it, where I almost get into a ground loop.
Postscript - a real DC3 pilot got in touch with me and helped me revise the startup procedure - the checklist within the aircraft is **wrong**.
