- Commonly referred to as a "flying coffin" the C-46 was designed as a cargo aircraft during world war two, and now it is in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020! I have been wanting one in the sim for quite some time now. In this video we are replicating a flight that could have happened between 1942 and 1945 in Kunming, China. Follow along as we put the C-46 thorough its paces and check out the features on this model.

Thankyou for the flight and the excellent video. I suspect that Aeroplane Heaven are stuck between a rock and a hard place to some estent insofar as Microsoft/Asobo call the shots on these local legends. These planes are supposed to be accessable to all levels of pilots and of course there is a limit on the price that can be charged for it. I've had aircraft at three times the price that have faults and issues so I think it's a bit sad when people "get on their case" - and I was so thrilled when you didn't do that. Yes, there are problems with it - but nothing really major. I have flown Aeroplane Heaven products for years, since my FSX and P3D days, so I suppose I have a soft spot for them. But I think your review was very fair and balanced. Many thanks.
It seems that is definitely the case with these local legends. I’m sure they have their backs against a deadline and it’s probably difficult to hit that target. I don’t see a reason to bash the developers as I don’t know the first thing about creating an aircraft for the sim, so I really have no frame of reference for what they’re going through. They’re already getting hit hard in other forums as well, no need to pile more bad on. Rather I’m more excited by the aircraft since I’ve been wanting a C-46 for a while now. I do hope the issues get fixed but I’ll continue to use it until then. Glad you enjoyed it. I don’t typically go for reviews as there are many other creators that do a much better job. Thanks for the kind words.
Really good, thank you. Can you tell me the scenery for the destination airport please?
Thank you. The scenery for both airports came from flightsim.to. If you search “flying the hump” it should come up. It adds in every known airfield used in the airlift as well as the radio beacons to navigate to them. Hope that helps!
@@Fly-to-the-past oh that’s brilliant, I love to fly to bring the history books alive as realistically as possible, thank you so much.
Have seen your other content = sub’d :)
I like to do the same thing. That’s really the whole purpose of my channel. Thanks for the sub! I really appreciate it.
