Just Flight - Thranda DHC-2 Beaver

The DHC-2 Beaver is one of the most popular aircraft in aviation history. First produced in 1948, it is still flown today in rugged parts of the world where the DHC-2's bush flying capabilities can shine. This model by Thranda is part of the 'Dynamic Generation Series'.

Special features

FULLY configurable 3D instrument panel
Over 50 instruments to choose from! (Including Aspen EFD 1000, and support for RealityXP GTN750)
Move any instrument to any location on the panel, or even between pilot and co-pilot's panel!
Comes with 6 panel presets, but can easily be expanded by moving instruments around, using simple and intuitive interface
Save your own presets, and even share them with the community!
Instruments can be moved in 3D directly, on a 2D pop-up preview window, or by numerical entry for precise placement
Intricate, realistic fuel tank system, featuring tip tanks and removable belly tank. Overflow logic when transferring too much fuel from other tanks to primary tanks.
GNS430 and 530 can be swapped out, but a restart of the plane is required, as 430s and 530s are mutually exclusive in terms of compatibility in X-Plane
Dynamic livery editor (like in the Kodiak and the Pilatus PC-6)
Full PBR control! Create stunning metallic liveries, or matte, sand-blasted look in mere seconds!
Additional control over dirt/grime, scratches/nicks, adjustable in real-time to dial in the exact desired amount of wear and tear. Affects airspeed. Clean plane will fly 2-3 MPH faster.
Create 'virtual' liveries, based on one common design layout, and assign any colour to any available paint segment
Quickly create preview of livery in real-time, using intuitive controls. Previews now include visualisation of metallic materials and dirt overlays.
Apply selected livery in real time, right in the sim, without the need to even touch a third party image editor!
Option to include/hide manufacturer logo on tail, and control its colour
Option to change the tail number in real time, or disable it altogether. (Enter a 'space' instead of a callsign number to create a blank tail number.)
Easily and quickly create dozens of paint schemes in-sim!
Also supports 12 traditionally painted liveries, all visible in a convenient pre-selection preview window
Uses SkunkCrafts Updater. Option to participate in Beta program, via check box in SkunkCrafts Updater.
Excellent hi-res PBR realistic materials, featuring true-to-life plate deformation and to-the-rivet precision

See the Detailed Description below for more aircraft features!

Feature-rich elegant fly-out menu with the following features:

Realism settings for engine and tail wheel (simplified vs. realistic modes)
Radial engine visualisation in pop-up window, which showcases the inner workings of the engine
Real-time primer and pre-heat logic, with visualisation indicating correct priming range
Innovative electric tug, with in-panel controls to move forward/backward at the desired speed, and steer proportionally
Control over chocks, individual tie-downs, covers, internal lights, external lights etc.
Option to enable/disable belly tank, with realistically simulated weight, momentum, rotational inertia and drag characteristics
Option to start up running (all systems ready), or cold-and-dark, for realistic start-up procedures
Option to run engine in a simplified manner (no pre-heat, no priming, easier starts)
Control landing lights, strobes, beacon, and NAV lights via pop-up window
Detailed weight and balance manager with visual chart, individual passenger seat weight control, lbs/kg unit toggle, CG control, external tank control and the option to save and load configuration.
Multiple camera snap points, above and beyond what's available by default in X-Plane, so you can perform your walk-around checks
Adjust your camera's field of view without having to go to an X-Plane menu, allowing for real-time adjustments
Audio mixer - individually control audio channels in real time, so you can adjust volumes while hearing them play
Slew control - move your plane around the world, temporarily bypassing flight physics. Includes ground mode and air mode.
Dynamic panel control page, with a separate view for the entire panel layout preview, or a per-instrument view, allowing for fine tuning of instrument position, as well as copy-paste function to quickly replace instruments
Regular tyres, tundra tyres, skis, floats and amphibious floats
New - skim over water with tundra tyres (Plugin controlled)
The 'Misc' page in the fly-out window contains options to customise the plane, such as:
- Skis
- Tundra tyres
- Mud flaps
- Bubble windows
- Throttle quadrant model (choose between classic and new design)

Flight dynamics and systems

The Beaver has unique flight dynamics, characterised by being a 'flap happy' plane. This is faithfully reproduced in the sim version (can require slight flap extension during cruise, depending on conditions).
The Beaver is the quintessential Canadian classic STOL workhorse, whose flight characteristics and excellent STOL capabilities are calibrated to maximum precision in the sim
Details, such as the wobble pump, the ratcheting carb heat lever, the manually pumped flap system (with direction valve), and the primer system are faithfully modelled for maximum immersion
Tie-downs and chocks actually keep the plane from moving, even in high winds

Advanced FMOD-based sound system

Pioneer in procedural engine sounds. (No two starts sound alike: coughing, sputtering, and clanking valves all contribute to a nuanced, rich, immersive sound experience.)
High fidelity, multi-track sounds with smooth transitions and amazing atmospheric effects.
Individual volume control over different aspects of the sound experience, adjustable in real-time (while listening to the sounds)
Different sounds for front of plane than for back of plane
Panning around the plane in exterior view yields awesome 3D audio effects, including 'blade slapping' sound when view is perpendicular to prop
Individual buttons and switches in the cockpit each have their own unique sound.
Sounds actually give you clues as to what's happening under the hood
Outside wind intensity is affected by slip and AoA (the more the surface area of the fuselage is hit by oncoming wind, the louder the sounds)
