I have one. I want to see if anyone else has any suggestions though. To make the destination within an hour on my plan, a pilot would need a prop that could operate at or above 150 knots.

The DC-3 behaved quite nicely last weekend. It doesn't seem to be as prone to tipping over during taxi as the Piper J3. I did have to steer with diferential braking (F11 & F12) AND use the outside brake to straighten back out. The DC-3's speed is close enough to the Barron's to fly with them too. The vintage radios and navigation gear are... interesting. Of couse I had the "handheld" GPS along. I actually made a round trip, atarting and landing at Vancouver. I did spot an odd looking white spot on a hillside north or the Victoria VOR. The mark looked like an upside down V pointing in the general direction of Vancouver. I don't know if it represents some sort of old VFR landmark or some sort of artifact from the scenery generation process. I may fly that area again and get a screen capture.

That odd white mark is essentialy invisible from directly overhead and appears to run North and South. I'm prepared to call it a mismatch betwen adjacent points on two sections of scenery mesh. It's visible from 48° 51.91'N 124°5.87'W at 1843' looking NE, about 43 miles from CYVR at 221°. Also 28.1 nm from Victoria VOR on 266 radial.

Greetings Robert:

Here's a screen shot looking NE at 28.1nm from Victoria VOR R266. Note that my altitude is 2,571'.

2,500' is as low as I dared to fly over there. What you might be seeing at 1,843' is the inside of the mountain side. If your terrain complexity graphics setting is set pretty low, this could explain what you see vs. what is really there.

Hope this helps!

Ben
