The repaints of these liveries were done By Dale DeLuca, you may contact me at NYCDADuws@aol.com. The extra textures are of Delta, Braniff, Eastern and Pan Am, all done from photos of the original plane.

I have included the original photo of the American DC2 which I worked from.
The DC2 Package Includes.....model, config, and textures and a link for Rob Cappers great DC2 panel and sound downloads, if you do not already have them.
You will need the DC2 package for FS2000, and the update for FS2002, to use this package.
Especialy for the original aircraft, sound and fotoreal panelfiles.
All available from the DC2 webpage http://www.SurClaro.com/hangar/flight/dc2uiver/index.htm

These repaints were done with Rob Cappers permission

You will find it a very interesting webpage, with a great deal of information on the DC-2, and the legendary 1934 MacRobertson Air Race from London to Melbourne Australia. With Maps, photos, and much information to help you recreate that race.

Without the help of the Aviodome (www.aviodrome.nl), who gave permission to take the nessecery pictures in the cockpit, the panel would never have left the ground.
A special thanks to Jan Cocheret. He is one of the two pilots, who flew the DC2 Uiver from America to Holland. He also flew the tour past the Dutch Airfields. He provided the information concerning the startprocedure for the DC2, an extensive checklist, and data about the flight behaviour, in order to accurately reproduce the flightmodel.

How to fly the DC2 in FS2002

Panel toggles (look for the little hand ;-))
1. Yoke toggle.
2. Special spotlights in nightpanel (FS2000 only)
3. GPS toggle (Flying the DC2 from America to Holland was done by GPS (see www.dc2.nl).
4. This white spot coincidently ;-) lines you up with the runway.
5. NAV1/ADF toggle

Known Bug: After flying, when you cut the trottle, the engines may stop. Keep the throttle open, and the RPM above 600. People with Flightyokes and throttle, may want to recalibrate, or keep the throttle cracked open a bit and the RPM above 600.

Please let me know if you do post it to your site. I'm just curious where this file ends up.
