To use the DC-3 70th Anniversary Splash Screen, copy dlgsplash_DC3-70th.bmp to the "Uires" folder in the FS2004 (FS9) main directory.
There, locate the file named dlgsplash.bmp, which is the current splash screen and rename that to prevent overwriting. Then rename the new DC-3 splash screen "dlgsplash.bmp" and it will appear each time you fire up the program.

If a plane looks good it should fly well. That is what they say and I believe it. The legendary DC-3 is a winner in every respect. Great lines, great sound, too, and indeed a magnificent plane to fly. If you know how.
I learned the hard way. I learned from a 17" screen and a plastic yoke. And I always read those funny manuals. You have to. What if...
Flightsimming is about flying, isn't it, but what would happen if you were aboard that favourite aircraft as a passenger and got a nod from the Captain to take the controls? Alright, forget it. Although, perhaps...
Thanks, Douglas for giving us the DC-3. Thanks, Bill (Gates) for selling us Flightsimulator (though the paintjob you have done on the default DC-3 is ridiculous) and thanks, Bill (Rambow) for having made the superb panel which, along with the great -classic- manual that accompanied it, has remained my favourite FS add-on. I have downloaded it tens of times, just to celebrate my preference. At this moment I use the default DC-3 wrapped around it, which I think is not a bad model at all, but an upgrade to Da Real Thang, the M.A.A.M. CD version of the R4D must and will -at last- take place.
Thanks also to Bob Hedgelon for his kind assistance in creating this dedicated Splash Screen.
