My great-grandfather flew a similar glider like this one in WW2. Now I can fly and experience what he did 80 years ago...
My dad flew "X5", took off from Barkston Heath and pulled gliders and dropped the 82nd and the 101st! He's buried in Arlington now w/ mom.
Both Your Great-Grandpa and @DanODNC1 Your Dad are the Heroes, Forever Glory to Them!
Allot of people did not know that allot of civilian pilots flew those planes for D-Day, seeing they were severely short on pilots.
@@DanODNC1 why bring Trump into this?
@@Thunderboid You're right. I fixed the comment. Thnx
What a beautiful tribute to the greatest generation...
Music pays beautiful homage to Band of Brothers 🫡
I could only sing the music from Day of Days, Ep. 2, though. Someone rip the video and overlay that music!
WE GOING BACK TO D-DAY WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥
YEAHHHHH BOYYYY
💀
Releasing planes we already have and not fixing the problems msfs has since release
NPC comment
YES SIR
It's nice how they added it on D-day too
Thank you, Vets ! ❤
You all really do such a good job since the very beginning of the announcement trailer which brought the modern era of aviation into my memories of childhood FS98 all the way though FSX and now MSFS. You have remained loyal as a developer dedicated to the platform you created to make it the absolute best experience possible for your customers. And I am a very grateful consumer!
Super cool idea guys! Thanks for honouring this day!
I really hope we get a Berlin Airlift Challenge too.
Broo that's a great idea!
I remember that kind of moment in Brothers in Arms road to Hill 30
Man, you guys really nailed this one... The music is what got me.
My dad showed me the ending of the first episode on Band of Brothers, where the US was on their way to defeat Germany. This was EXACTLY like that.
Thanks to your dad for showing Band of Brothers to you on television. Truly the greatest generation :-)
Excited to give the ol’ 47 a whirl and looking forward to the 707 next month!
Can’t wait for the one after this one, *IT’S THE 707!*
How do you know?
@@Elcicikos It was announced on their Dev Q&A yesterday.
@@apumpsIs there a full list of what is coming out that I can see?
Wait a 707 for Xbox?!
@@Faye-9896 Should be since it's part of the Famous Flyer series.
Im soooooo excited for the C47 😍😍😍
Amazing! Bel hommage à nos vétérans, merci!!!
鳥肌が立った、素晴らしいビデオをありがとう!
I've tried flying the simulated CG-4A in IL-2 Sturmovik before at night. Landing it without training beforehand was a thing that resulted in many fatal crashes for me. My respect to those soldiers' courage who flew it/with it.
Nice tribute for remembrance day. Looks great.
The anniversary of D-Day. Remembrance Day is Nov 11th.
@@Bacteriod yes that's what I meant
So is this the parts that AH cut out of the DC-3 pack that they updated from FSX for the 40th?
Without fixing the dc-3 still, unless your on PC and can relay on others to Mod it.
How cool is this.
Thanks guys.
How you release the parastroopers
This is great but one little thing. You don’t fly with undercarriage extended. Half the video has the DC-3 with it down
Yes also Waco gliders didn't raise their landing gear because ... well... it was fixed...
Haha, I didn't even notice the first time I watched the video. You're right!
One of dozens of multiplayer bugs Asobo refuses to acknowledge or address on full display in a trailer 🤣
*C-47
Music~ Picture~ it's awesome~!
Wow this looks so good. And it’s awesome the money goes to charity!
Ugh anybody but Aeroplane Heaven. Hopefully there’ll be some good mods.
I'd rather aeroplane than inibuilds
Who release unfinished garbage planes that handle horribly on Xbox and they never bother fix8ng em
100% donating to USO raises the will to spend my money ... edit: when I saw the paratroops i got a little bit goose bumps.
Look at the glass on the right! so realistic!
Looking forward to it.❤
Bravo👏Quelle vidéo✈✈😍
this is amazing!!!!
😭 You guys made me cry.. 🇺🇸⚔️
Amazing video! Glad we got the C-47 with paratroopers after all. How did you full up the sky with so many aircraft? Was it a multiplayer flight or replay trickery?
You're working like bee nowadays
Thank you
C-47s towing gliders with their wheels down and the tow cable is attached to the rudder. Who in the world watched this and said it was good to be published?
your mother
@@NecramoniumVideo yeah, well, she's been dead for over ten years, so that's quite the accomplishment
Same people that decided its acceptable to push it out without the gyro pilot working properly !!
that's great !
combat flight sim confirmed
Wht landing gears down ?
Why is the tow livery unable to start. I thought it was all the reason to fly this bird. I already have the DC 3 so whats the point?
Why do they put their landing gear down while towing a glider?
Those C-47s were probably still on climbing out of the airfield...
peut-on simuler au départ de l'Angleterre la traversée de la manche et un atterissage près du pont de Bénouville par exemple ? Comment le c47 se manoeuvre? Merci
Link to USO is broken - shows 404 on USO site.
Fantástic.
Combat Flight Simulator 4 when?
Yes, please.
It should turn into Hell Let Loose once the glider lands...
Is that barton airfeild EGCB
Can someone tell me how to take off with the glider it won’t let me spawn with it 😊
Anyone know the music name?
tous simplement : MERCI .......... FS ..........
I would like to point out that it is impossible for this C-47 to be a D model because it still has the two stage superchargers. C-47D is the designation given to C-47’s with the second stage of superchargers removed after the war. So technically what has been released is actually a C-47B.
This isn’t bad but why can’t we get a B-17 ,B-24 or B-25??
Wow!
We need a Combat Flight Simulator! 🙏🙏
So how do you fly with the glider in tow?
Very Carefully
Lets go to Holland to end the war by Christmas! What could possibly go wrong?
8,8 where ?
I can hardly breathe
Is it pulling a glider? O.O
It is and look in the description, it appears like we can fly both glider and Dakota 😍
@@lachmowe1642I’d like to know how?
@@SkyKing-Opa You already can in IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles
Damn Allies
this game only for PC Not working well xbox series x
I'm ok... just got something in my eye...
As a Brit we need the Avro Lancaster in msfs
As a Yank I agree with that, Let's get some Dambusters in the air.
One is being developed.
Finally, some good aircraft
Show how the paratroopers land, they look stiff
It wasn't just America involved in D-Day so why should all the sales money go to an organisation that just helps Americans
Only thing missing is paratroopers
I know were this aerodrome is but how many other people do let's just say it's nowhere near the coast of Southern England.
My eyes might’ve been sweating from this if you know what I mean
😍
Okay, DCS.
Pov: Germany have no AA Cannon
❤️🙏🏼
C47 gear down at the release point !
why though?
Why are the Dakotas all have their gear down during towing? Was that an artistic choice, I don’t think it’s historically correct. Not to criticize, just an observation
Gotta admit Microsoft is savage, this was part of the original Aeroplane Heaven DC3 pack and was cut and held a year for DDay 80
Half of the sim development community is savage. DC Designs promised everyone a free A-10 for being loyal customers then turned around and sold it to MS for 2024. PMDG removed their original DC-6 liveries on Xbox then as a thanks for waiting on WASM implementation, turned them into $5 micro transactions.
You are nothing more than a number on an earnings report or marketing engagement survey.
Please please please remake a combat flight simulator
Then next month the 707
A 707?!
@@EmeryE2 yep
@@ThorntonWillie any word on a DC-8?
@@EmeryE2 dc-8 would be nice but have not heard nothing on that end
@@ThorntonWillie where was the announcement vid for the 707?
Is that paratrooper functionality I spot?
Wonder the same whats about this
Yeah! The Aeroplane Heaven DC-3/C-47 used to be a standalone product that was going to have that very functionality. That was before Microsoft acquired the DC-3 for the 40th Anniversary update. Everyone thought the C-47/paratrooper version was scrapped for good as a result, but now it's here after all.
I like the music. How Band of Brothers can you be without technically using the Band of Brothers theme music? 🤣
Microsoft Combat Simulator
Nice, press G next time
Massively disrespected to the other allied nations by only having US liveries, you didn’t carry out the D-Day landings alone.
Daddy’s home
Not an unbiased review but might risk it
Guys when is the msfs2024 getting released???
There is like zero news about it.
@@finntheirish13 yeah ...... I hope its name doesn't change to msfs2025
The Xbox games showcase is on June 9th, I suspect we will find out then.
Its great but the auto pilot still doesn't work !!
hasn't got one?
Gyro pilot /auto pilot does not work !! is that better ???
@@itsnotmehonest Yep :) Check in the manual, see if you can find some ref in there.
Folk posting stuff on yt about now. Have you activated the blue lever, right side of pilot, on the wall. I think that switches hydrolic pressure between gyro :) and or the pilot controls.
That gyro :) thingy is delicate, this aircraft needs lots of attention. check, check and also check.
WOAH, thats amazing. in the manual it refers to "Automatic pilot"
I take my humble pie and sit in the corner.
Page 27 has the instructions.
Microsoft Flight Simulator Combat 4 🤑
please 🙏
It's hard to believe we fought war so inefficiently.
Hey guys just: Thank U USA, without those guys GI that came out of those c-47d skytrain, France would never have been freed. Cz I'm French, I thank USA , and I am proud to say : VIVE LA RÉPUBLIQUE, VIVE LA FRANCE!
Only buying because Aeroplane Heaven won't get any of the money. 😂
All the C47s left their landing gear down because? Piss poor editing!
Probably because its one edited in 20 times
I bet to keep the speed down so the glider could handle it.
A Horsa would've been better
It would actually be less fun to fly. The Horsa couldn't soar...it was purely a downward trip. You can soar a Waco CG-4a, so whilst I am British, the Waco is going to be more fun to fly.
Nice another dc3.... why are you not doing a boeing 737-200 ? Or a famous airliner instead of a plane we already kinda have?
What do you want? They announced the next one to be the 707-320c coming next month - check the developer Stream maybe. The Dakota here is a special D-Day release and contains more than just the C-47 as you may see.
The next Famous Flyer is the 707... 🤦
maybe because no 737-200 was flown at D-Day...? I know that most people nowadays don't give a fuck for WWII events, but there are still a few of us old farts out there who actually do!
Nice idea, and the money goes to charity, what more do you want? I'm definitely going to buy it, even if there is already a DC-3 in the sim.
Aeroplane Heaven 🤮
More like Aeroplane Broken
How come u never added Tuskegee airmen addon for black history 😎
That's a great idea! I hope they do!
@@DanODNC1 sorry if I came across rude, I shoulda jus said it would be nice 🫡
We’re gonna need a red tail paint job.
@@RB-po5yj facts
The only difference is that they flew at night and not in daylight. In taylight tgey eill be all shot down by the heavy german flak .
They didn't fly always at night, check out some documentaries on WWII glider ops....
I found film of my father and hundreds of other planes taking off from Barkston Heath and it was dark. The National Archives in Adelphi Maryland has tons of film. That's where I found it.
Currahee - All right, three miles up and three miles down in 15 minutes! Hi-yo Silver! 🫡 🪖⛰
