Douglas DC-3 Cubana
FOR VERSION 1.3!
This is my tentative attempt at a Douglas DC-3.
It’s a bit rough around the edges and definitley an approximation and not a 1:1 replica.
This airliner could carry 21-32 passengers, but Bob is, as stated before, a bit of a chunky boy so this one seats 12 passengers and two flight attendants besides the pilot and co-pilot. 🙂
Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brake.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.

L/Headlights: Approach light.
B/Beacon: Fire in the left engine.
K/Hazard lights: Fire in the right engine.
This plane has been requested quite a few times but I’ve hesitated to build it simply because of the difficulty in Brick rigs to make round sloping shapes and still keep the inside of the fuselage resonable clear of intruding bricks, since there’s no real point of having a passenger plane with no room for passengers, and also the very tricky thing to add working doors to those same shapes and still have it look reasonably like a DC-3.
This version has the main cargo area, but the rear part of the cargo area is a bit tricky, at least for me, to keep "clean", and I really have no idea how to add a working door with the limited set of scaleable pieces available in the game at the present, so the rear door is sadly cosmetic. The small front door works but is too small for chunky boy Bob to fit through.
The nose also looks like a patchwork but that’s as good as I have the energy and skill to make it and still have at least some space inside for a cockpit.
At least the new smaller actuators allowed me to recreate the folding landing gear rather decently. However the main part of the new small hinge actuator does not render at distances over like 10 metres so they seem to disappear at a distance. It’s still there and it still works though it looks a but weird.
