This Expansion Pack was made as an Expansion Pack not an Improvement Mod. It adds many new features on top of the base game. We worked carefully to ensure our Expansion Pack was fully compatible with most Community Improvement Mods. This Includes popular add-ons like the Duckwork's DC-3 Improvement Mod.
Cheers!

Just AWESOME, especially when combined with some of the other MODS!!! Would Really like to see a Cargo Version of the Amphib...

Can you please add all of the Dc3 liveries to the float Dc3? Also, the skis don't work for me, so can you just make the ski and regular bush beaver separate airplanes? Thank you
moreuniQue 3 day(s) ago
Just want to confirm - you are trying to equip the skis with the REGULAR and not the bushwheel variant, correct?
A320200 2 day(s) ago
I am an idiot, I tried to put them onto the bushwheel. Sorry

Not sure if it is something on my side or somehing I'm missing, but it seems that since I installed this mod the GPS won't power up on DC-3 retrofit variant when I switch Battery switch to ON. Is it a bug or just me?
FredericLord 4 day(s) ago
Confirmed bug: when I remove the mod it works as it should.

Thank you very much for this fantastic mod.
I have corrected the dc-3 locpak file in Spanish, but although I think everything is correct, I can't get it to work well for me (some labels work but most are blank). I used the French modification as a base. I have also updated the layout.json file, but it doesn't work like that either. I have tried replacing the file both in the official folder, as well as in your mod and in Duckworks's.
I don't upload it here because it doesn't work for me
If you tell me how, I can send you the file to see if you can implement it in your mod.
Best regards

Only issue I am having is my ski's are staying permanently attached to the normal wheeled version of the DHC, and when I click to remove them, it puts the cold cover on, and the ski's remain. Everything else is perfect though.

Did you happen to have the original Jonx DHC-2 Installed? If so, please delete the Jonx Mod and only use the Got Friends Mod
WWALKER0 8 day(s) ago
Whoops......thanks for that, problem solved.

Also, if I could make a suggestion, can you add some "cargo" to the cargo version of plane? Doesn't have to change with the weight and balance, just more immersive with the cargo variant.

Unfortunately the DHC2 expansion conflicts with the Baron G58 autopilot on my machine, makes the Baron swing sharply and quickly up and down as if I'm flying in a storm but wind is set to 3 knots max. It will follow the track, but altitude is radically all over the place though I have it set to hold, or even when in VS change. Actually anytime I hit AP it gets seriously upset. It's not a big deal, I don't lust after the mod, just saying so others can see a possible problem.

Forgot to say I did test several times with the mod in and out of the community folder, it's definitely this mod which on my box causes the issue.
GotFriends 8 day(s) ago
I did not touch anything that would conflict with this Mod. In reality, I have only added a few lines of code and they affect visual effects, Skis and hidden objects. Nothing with the Baron or Autopilot. Really confused what is causing the confliction.
AdventumSims
Awesome work on the mod. Wonder if you could make a DST version of the DC-3?
KevinKraze
A must have mod for MSFS! Maybe you could make a C-47/53 mod for the DC-3 (with astrodome, cargo door, etc.)?

Hi GotFriends team. Thank you so much for your work!
I had a question. Is it possible for me to tweak the braking power of the taildragger Beaver variant somehow? Maybe in a cfg file? I don't have pedals, and using a button for the brake makes it difficult to stop as she has a habit of tipping over onto her prop because the brakes seem really powerful. I can tap the brake button but it's not efficient and I end up looking like a dolphin going down the runway what with my tail going up and down.

One thing I recently noticed on the amphibious version of the Beaver is the little extra fins on the horizontal stabilizer. The original Milviz Beaver for FSX/P3D had them but for some reason they forgot them on the version they sold to Asobo. They must be kind of important since every photo of a Beaver on floats has them.
GotFriends 8 day(s) ago
Adding these stabilizers in the next update. Cheers.

Really awesome thanks team! Any chance of having the tires appear more worn? They are too shiny imo. Example: https://images.app.goo.gl/TSxpUSHCPPRKoB4m9

Changing the tint colour of the windows (leaving the grime and scratches intact)

Is the Chapter 2 download cumulative or do we need the Original Expansion pack AND Chapter 2? (I don't see it mentioned on how to do this)
FGACD 11 day(s) ago
Agree with your question. The FAQ refers to "microsoft-aircraft-dhc2-jonx-mod" whilst the chapter 2 zip file includes 3 folders, DC3, effects, and DHc2. Missing something?
Porcopazzo 9 day(s) ago
Not 100% sure but looking at the timeline and changelog it seems to me that it's a single package updated.
GotFriends 9 day(s) ago
Sorry for the late response. Firstly, make sure you have Uninstalled my old mod that use to be posted (Jonx DHC-2 Beaver Improvement/Action Pack). That mod is not needed anymore and WILL CONFLICT if you don't remove it.
This Chapter 2 includes Chapter 1. So you will get everything in the description. Also worth mentioning that when Chapter 3 comes out, it will also include Chapter 1 and 2. It will just keep building up upon itself overtime.
Inside this Download you will find individual folders for items you can choose to drag into your community folder. Although this Download contains everything, you may simply delete a folder from your Community if you don't want it in game.
Currently, this addon contains a DC-3 Expansion Folder, DHC-2 Expansion Folder and Visual Effects Expansion Folder.

Loving it so far!
Recommendations:
DC-3 on Skis
More Liveries for Amphibian DC-3 (if possible C-47 and Folsom DC-3)
Retrofit for Amphibian DC-3
Ability to drop floats in flight (this was possible on the real ones)

This is fantastic. Thanks for doing all this great work. For chapter 3, I would love to see two bladed propeller variants for the Beaver. One with a spinner and one without.
