DISCONTINUED! 😟 - unfortunately a recent update to Touch Portal has broken the automatic import of the ".ini" file which is essential for the correct functionality of this page. If you are familiar with the workings of Touch Portal you can manually fix this by using a utility such as 7zip to browse inside the .tpz file and copy the "DC3Classic.ini" to %appdata%\Roaming\TouchPortal\Misc, however, since I don't have bandwidth to troubleshoot installation issues I'm discontinuing support for this for the time being. The download will remain available here.

Requirements
1️⃣ Licensed Touch Portal app on your mobile device (Touch Portal Pro)
2️⃣ The Touch Portal software on your PC. Visit: https://www.touch-portal.com/

4️⃣ Install the latest version of the WASM module (also from the MSFS Touch Portal plug-in page)
Installation instructions

- Browse to the .tpz file you downloaded from this flightsim.to page, click Open to import the page
- From your (main) Touch Portal page, add a button that will link you to the "DC-3 Classic" page.
- For more information on how to check out the Touch Portal Guides page

- Internal and external lights
- Prop feather controls

🟢 Designed to work with the DC-3 Classic variant
🟡 Untested with the Retrofit variant
🔴 NOT compatible with the Duckworks Improvement mod
The layout has been tested on an iPad Pro 11 (2360x1640 resolution) but I haven't been able to test on other devices. I recommend setting Rendering mode to Safe Area in the Touch Portal app settings. Once the design has stabilised I will provide background images for other devices.
✅ If the layout is OK on your device: I'd be grateful if you could leave a comment below to confirm that.
❌ If the layout is misaligned on your device: please DM me with details such as device name and a full-resolution screenshot of the problem, and I’ll try to resize the background image for your device - I can include device-specific backgrounds in future updates, although you'll have to manually swap out the page background in Touch Portal.
Removed the "pre-release" status in the title. SU12 hasn't fixed any of the issues which would have let me map more controls in Touch Portal, so I think the current state is as far as I can take this Touch Portal page for the time being.

Are you having trouble with:
If it's #1 or #2 I suggest asking on the Touch Portal Discord (there's also a channel for the MSFS plugin). If it's #3 please describe what's going wrong and I'll try to help. Feel free to drop me a DM if that's easier.

Thanks for the kind words. I enjoy trying to capture the look of the real cockpit, albeit within the confines of a Touch Portal grid of buttons!
