C-47B X-Plane Hardware Setup Notes

The VSKYLABS C-47B is designed to operate within the default features of X-Plane. However, several systems have been highly customized to closely replicate real-world C-47/DC-3 operations. As a result, a short but important setup process must be completed before flying the aircraft using a joystick or other hardware flight equipment (throttle quadrants, switch panels, etc.).

Note: The aircraft is flight-ready when using VR or on-screen manipulators.

JOYSTICK AND HARDWARE ASSIGNMENT:
The VSKYLABS C-47B includes the VSKYLABS ‘Cockpit-Builders Heaven’ layer, which allows assigning all aircraft switches, knobs, levers, and interactions in a designated, uncluttered section in the X-Plane 12 assignment screen.

To use it for key/button assignments, simply type ‘c47b’ or a combination, for example: ‘c47b ignition’ in the search bar and select your assignment. Here is a sample screenshot:
