''As of 22/12/2013 the version distributed through the Flightgear Aircraft download page (Douglas-Dc3_20130107.zip) crashes on at least some computers when trying to operate mixing and propeller levers using the mouse (see [https://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=1260] bug report). For the version available from the download link the levers can be operated using the typical keys ('m/M' and 'n/N') and so is flyable even though I have still experienced short freezes of a few seconds when looking around too much in the area of the levers.'' | |||
