Out family loves your options and upgrades, so thank you.

My son who is a budding 11 year old pilot has requested I ask for an addon in the goose to have an aftermarket Garmin installed in the cockpit.

Would it be possible to add in a DME for use with VOR? Thanks for the great addon!

Where do I find the Ski variant of the DHC-2? Cheers Awesome mod too

PiNKMuD

You're asking for suggestions, and while I suspect this is likely outside of the scope of this mod, I will ask for it anyway. I would really love it if someone did a true C-47 version of the DC-3. Paratrooper interior, astrodome you name it. Let me feel like I am dropping Easy company in Europe please...

Vingilot

Hello.

Please, is it possible to do the spray water effect for the Twin Otter?

....I would even pay.

Thank you very much.

MARCE

I have the impression that the mod does not work anymore with the AAU1 beta. Can someone confirm this? Thanks.

I sorted it out. It has nothing to do with the AAU1 Beta. Once the snow depth is set beyond a certain threshold, the effect is gone and the plane glides on the water like on ice.

On a separate note, could you create a similar effect for the Kodiak?

Great Mod! Thanks for your work.

Really enjoying this expansion to the already great Beaver. Not sure if ye are taking suggestions or not, but I think an option for pulse landing lights would be a nice addition to the Beaver. Unsure if this is even a thing IRL, but nonetheless, would be cool! 😊

SchulerPilot

Causes the sim to not get past the initial splash screen 100% of the time for me. When disabled using addon linker I have no issues. Very weird.

DesLynam

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

AIRPAC1

Can we get visible passengers for both planes, like we did with the Kodiak, when you add weight to the passenger seats? Pretty, pretty please??? Suggested this for the Duckworks DC-3 Improvement Mod as well.. Also, in the Beaver, beeing able to remove the passenger seats ,one by one, like Bagelu did with the C172 would be nice, so that the plane can carry both passengers and cargo..GotFriends, Imenes, Bagelu and others like you do incredible work for the sim! Love it, love it, love it!! I hope we'll get the waterspray effect for all the other float planes in the sim as well...

SepticSchizo78

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.

WWALKER0

A must have mod for MSFS! Maybe you could make a C-47/53 mod for the DC-3 (with astrodome, cargo door, etc.)?

KevinKraze

Why is this no longer available how do I get the beaver bush wheels

You can get it on their official website, I think?

It's under Freeware, hopefully this helps some!

How do you install?

Latrek

I have problem with installing. Can you make guide pls?

Sashavav

Odd the expansion pack for the beaver 35 " wheeled version doesn't show up in the community folder only a blank square but before no problems

pilott22

Beaver loads with skis attached, unable to remove via tablet.

Can't find the click spot to bring back the tablet. It would be nice if you could

include the location in the description. Clicking in the area where it normally appears just activates a function on the tablet.

Regards Gerry.

gerryh

Is there any way you could replace the sounds with some realistic DHC-2 Beaver sounds? The default startup and shutdown sounds Blackbird use are terrible, makes me miss the Beaver I flew in FSX which put that to shame. I forgot what the sound pack was called since it has been quite some time. Sad that such an old sound pack in an old sim sounded so much better than this. I knew how to edit and replace sounds back then, but this new sound system MSFS uses is above my pay grade.

vibrophil

I love your work even though it's still beaver and dc-3 pack.

Flusikussi

Please, more smoke and fire.
