    I now started remodeling the cockpit cause the old one was very ugly. I'm probably getting this finished today or tomorrow

    Since there is an autopilot UI app, can you try making a code for the mode that will let the autopilot affect the plane?

    I haven't thought about that. Since The real plane didn't have an autopilot I'm gonna say no. But I try to Make The trims work. Also my programming skills wouldn't probably Be good enough to Make The plane work with The autopilot.

    Thanks. I got this model from sketchfab like over a month ago and since then I have been making modifications to it. Right now I'm working on The cockpit remodeling and I will Make updates from it when I can. I now have a lot of exams in school but on next week I try to get a few updates here.

    Alright, the only thing I have to say about the mod is that it should just be called the "Douglas DC-3", due to the fact that this ended production in 1942 and the Douglas Aircraft Corporation merged with McDonnell Aircraft Corporation in 1967. Also, will you add variants like the C-47 Skytrain or the Basler BT-67 (a modernized conversion of the DC-3)?

    Yes I'm gonna change The name a bit of The thread. Thanks For The recommendation. I'm not too sure that am I gonna add the C-47 variant but it's a big maybe. Now The Basler bt-67 is not gonna happen cause I have zero idea of how am I gonna do those custom turboprop engines and those Garmin instruments. Ok maaaaybe If I don't Make The Garmin instruments work I could try to Make The turboprop engines but I don't promise anything.

    Honestly, I'm just happy that you're making the DC-3. I'm surprised that nobody has attempted to make a mod for it before this, as it's a pretty iconic plane.

    I'm trying to make an update of The cockpit tomorrow. It's going to be much better than it was before The remodeling
