Compatibility information

The Fairchild C-119 The Flying Boxcar is compatible with all versions of Prepar3d with the following notes

NAV/GPS/HOLD SWITCHES P3D compatibility information

If you fly FSX, the AUTOPILOT can be used to follow a nav course and also the GPS. In P3DV3, you can also do this but it may require the aircraft to be closer to the VOR radials than in FSX. In P3DV4+, DO NOT USE the GPS/NAV switch or the NAV HOLD switch. The Autopilot will operate but only in its original, limited form.That is to hold course, altitude and/or speed.

Use the xxxx_P3D_32bit installer for P3d up to 3.x. ( will automatically find version 3 )

Use the xxxx_P3D_64bit for P3d V4.0+.

Updates and upgrades will always emailed to the email you used to purchase.

Fairchild C-119 "The Flying Boxcar"

Making its maiden flight in 1947, the Fairchild C-119 was developed from the wartime C-82 Packet.

The twin booms and high-set wing suspend a rudimentary box-shaped fuselage designed to carry large amounts of cargo and parachute troops for delivery to the front line. It is no surprise then, that the design quickly earned its nickname, “The Flying Boxcar”.

When production ceased in 1955, over 1,100 examples had been built in various configurations including heavily-armed “Shadow” and “Stinger” gunships.

This venerable cargo-hauler was used extensively in the Korean War dropping thousands of tons of much-needed supplies and countless parachute troop drops. It saw service with the US Navy, US Marine Corps and the USAF.

 

The USAF Strategic Air Command operated C-119s from 1955 through to 1973 and the type saw service in many covert actions including aerial recovery of secret film from spy satellites.

Many other nations also operated “Boxcars” and the aircraft also served in civilian guise as a tanker and bulk cargo carrier.

Our model includes many special features including a fully detailed cargo bay, deployable para-troops and a cargo-drop function. The cockpit is authentically modelled and provides a highly realistic flying experience.
