Douglas C-47 Skytrain Aircraft
Whenever we get a new piece of aircraft freeware for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 submitted by a creator, my eyes light up with excitement! It’s like opening a birthday present every time. Today’s plane, when I loaded it up certainly had that same feeling. The C-47 Skytrain is an old plane that was used extensively by the Allied Forces during WW2, for various purposes – but primarily as a military transport aircraft. And now thanks to Treyeastland, you can fly it in all its glory in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
How to Install this Plane
- Simply download the zip/rar and extract it to the community folder.
- Make sure you install in the following format: /community/addon_folder/addon_files, and not /community/addon_folder/addon_folder/addon_files
- Alternatively you can use ModManFX
Finding the community folder:
- If you have installed the MSFS contents in a custom folder, go in to that folder, and simply drag and drop the folder “aw-airport-ensd-anda” into your Microsoft Flight Simulator “Community” folder
- If you have bought it from the Microsoft Store Go to %localappdata% (search using windows search), then go to Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_RANDOMLETTERS\LocalCache\Packages\ and place “aw-airport-ensd-anda” into the Community folder
- If you have the game through Gamepass Go to %localappdata% (search using windows search), then go to Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_RANDOMLETTERS\LocalCache\Packages\ and place “aw-airport-ensd-anda” into the Community folder
- If you bought the game on Steam… Go to %appdata% (search using windows search), then Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\ and place “aw-airport-ensd-anda” into the Community folder
- Alternate Steam Method (If Above Does Not Work)… Go to %localappdata% (search using windows search), then got to Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_RANDOMLETTERS\LocalCache\Packages\ and place “aw-airport-ensd-anda” into the Community folder
- Alternate Steam Method (If Above Does Not Work)… Go to YOUR_STEAM_LOCATION\steamapps\common\ and place “aw-airport-ensd-anda” into the Community folder

I cannot download from here. I receive warning.
Works just perfect, something wrong with you pc
Hi i downloaded the plane flew it for a bit great plane a few issues though there seems to be a sound loop when raising landing gear and lowering it also after sometime engine sound cut out
Any solution to this? This loop sound is really annoying. How to contact the author of the convert?
Any solution for the loop after gears up? Really annoying after 20 minutes of flight. Also, it’s impossible to fly during night time because there are no lights in the cockpit work.
For the guys who have troubles with engines: just watch temperatures, C-47 has delicate engines.
update closing left window while air born causes game to crash
it crashes the game all the time, tail rudder can not be unlocked… looks amazing!
Game crash when using ctrl+E to auto start engine. Engine will also randomly turn off without warning. No 3rd person throttle and speed UI, and the interior camera feels way too close to the windshield making it impossible to read any of the gauges.
for some reason when you scroll the mouse wheel to zoom the camera it doesnt change the camera zoom BUT it does change the altimiter calibration.
Flew for less than 5 mins and then the engine cuts out and the game crashed back to desktop
Thank you for this wonderful bird. I was missing the old props so much. Can we expect even the Super Connie one day?
1 BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT AND THE FACT YOU ADDED SO MANY SKINS! Thank you for this, virtually flying it in Northern Manitoba right now where a few of these workhorses still exist! Been flying for almost two hours, no glitches at all.
I’m trying to install this but the instructions say to add “aw-airport-ensd-anda” to my install folder but I cannot find any file titled that in my DC-3 download. Anyone have any advice?
Also getting the looped audio glitch after gear up. Hopefully there can be a patch
Anyone with modding knowledge able to fix this plane?
Hi all the C47 will work as it should by using Legacy model. Under general setting then flight model set it to legacy. At least for me it fixed the Engine randomly turn off without warning and crashing the sim, Landing gear not going up.
Thank you for the aircraft and skins, The Douglas C-47 Skytrain Aircraft is now my favorite.
No! switching to legacy still makes engine off after 5 minutes and crash to desktop, tested
yea does same thing and I had cow flaps open 50% and engine still died
why is the flight time of this thing set to like 1 minute? engine keeps shutting off for no good reason.
You’re running the engine too hard, look up the specs on DC3 take off procedures, manifold pressure max and rpm max.
Fantastic DC3 , Mine works flawlessly.
Any chance of a helicopter and a tiger moth?”
open cowl flaps all the way engines still die
You can’t run this engine wide open, cruise your Manifold pressure at 30-35
Run your prop RPM at 2500 for climb and 2000-2100 for cruise
This mod looks amazing, but it crashes my game the moment I click fly after I set up my flight and it loads. Anything I can try to remedy this? Also, if there’s anything else you need–logs etc, let me know.
I too have this issue. Let me know if you figure out why.
Worked fine until last start.
Now it loads to FLY NOW with the cam right up against the screen and crashes game out when FLY NOW is clicked.
That’s due to the 1.8.3.0 patch you need to download the converter and reload it then select fix clickable points in teh cockpit
watch this video to explain..

…if you struggle let me know and i will upload the fixed aircraft.
I’m struggling 😛
I am struggling, too. — does this upload have the permission of the original author as per the credit given?
Hi!
Can you just upload it somewhere?
Plus One!
And so am I!
Please upload fixed version.
No, don’t – don’t “fix” what’s known to be an unauthorized version!
Aircraft his been beautifully crafted, inside and out, Yes inside camera is a little close to the controls, but I can deal with that, the #1 downside is the engines cut out about 1 minute or 2 after take off, and cant be restarted. Once that is fixed, this will be my new favourite aircraft!
After a little investigation, (Reading some of the above comments) I’ve worked out the tricks to flying this beast, and the engines work fine, as long as you look after them, Just completed the Hay River to Yellowknife Buffalo Airways route without issue, I LOVE THIS PLANE!
New msfs 2020 10/28/20 update inop all mouse input. They were working just fine before that. Is there a fix?
Bonjour depuis dernière mise à jour du 2 novembre 2020 plus aucune fonction sur les panneaux de contrôle de vol.
Dommage c’était magnifique de voler avec cet avion mythique
Bonjour,
exact, la souris ne contrôle plus rien.
Struggling here! Cannot click on anything. Tried the convert tool but it says right in there “Vote for clickable panels” 🙁
Sim crash when I touch any button. Pleas, fix it. I love this plane!
Plane looks really great and promising (for me the most exciting of all), but still many inconveniences. Many cockpit controls do not respond, impossible to mask the yokes, and a few others already mentioned above.
Hey! I was playing a bit with the plane and half way through my flight the engines just turned off, or something like that happened.
Would there be a way to fix this, or is this a already known issue that can not be fixed as easily?
Thanks!
Fix is put the plane in legacy flight model, then set to intermediate. this is confirmed by me to fix the engine issue, anyone else having CTD when trying to enter the cockpit of this plane after update 5? any update on this file from the maker?
Bonjour à tous ! Chargement du C-47 facile avec ModMan. Il fonctionne très bien .Ce serait super d’avoir en plus une livrée de l’armée de l’air française ou bien Air France F-BBBE ! Cela existe t il ?
Cordialement.
What is aw-airport-ensd-anda folder? Can’t find it in the download
this plane is not working with the new update apparently
