The 'UIVER' team is proud to announce the release of the Douglas DC-2 for FS2004 and FSX. After many years of hard work and thorough research, it's finally ready. It was also used in military service, mainly as the C-33 and R2D. The DC-2 remained in service for many years after WWII, usually with smaller airlines or in freight service. FS2004/FSX DC-2 is released! Press release. The 'UIVER' team is proud to anounce the release of the Douglas DC2 for FS2004 and FSX.

The first I had heard about this interesting looking add-on was when the developer, Rob Cappers, posted on the Mutley’s Hangar forums about the new update for the FSX version. I had a look at the website and I was immediately captivated not just by the add-on, but the fact that the team donate all of the profits generated from sales to the Aviodrome theme park and Museum – which has one of the last two airworthy DC-2s in it’s collection. It is clear from the outset that this add-on has been created by enthusiasts to help keep the real aircraft in the skies.

Shortly after the forum post was made Rob Cappers emailed the Hangar asking if we would like to review the DC-2, this was one I couldn’t resist! History of the Douglas DC2 The DC-2 was released less than a year after the DC-1 and had the same familiar shape but was more powerful, faster and capable of longer flights. Most importantly for the airlines it was bigger so was able to carry more passengers (up to 14 from 12) and in it’s first 6 months of service set 19 American speed and distance records. In 1934 TWA started an overnight coast-to-coast flight from New York to LA which allowed business travellers to travel without losing a business day. The DC-2 had a relatively short production run from 1934-1939 and only 200 were built before it was replaced by one of the most iconic aircraft ever; the DC3. The DC-2 was one of the first aircraft that showed passenger air travel could be comfortable, safe and reliable.
