- A first flight in the de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver in Microsoft Flight Simulator. The Beaver is part of the 40th anniversary update, originally developed by Blackbird Simulations (formerly Milviz). It's a wonderful addition to the simulator - essentially a "study level" STOL aircraft.

Correction - there IS an autopilot - I'm as blind as a bat :)
I didn't shout 'it's there...' at the screen 😄
It’s there but I can’t get the altitude hold to work
Where and how 🤔
Omg I feel stupid I found it
If you want to get rid of the rattling noise, tighten the yellow oil cap on the floor by the yoke. This plane is def my favorite addition of the update!
Yep - I'll look into that next time!
@@jonbeckett be careful that you don't accidentally pull the emergency fuel and oil shut off right beside it
oh nice! I thought that was just the cylinder heads or something!
Did a route in Bern Switzerland and flew around the mountains. Breathtaking. Really loved flying this plane. Haven't done much Bush flying so gonna start taking out the Beaver more often.
Spent a little while today jumping between this, the DC-3, the Cabri, the Bell, one of the gliders and back through them all... Beaver and DC-3 are stunning in particular! Opened the door of the Beaver on startup and could not shut. Once I revved up the engine, the prop wash blew it shut! All fantastic! Nice review!
Brilliant!
To close the door as the 310R just start the engine and the door will be close by the blow of propeller 😂😂
It really reminds me of the FSX beaver! I loved that aircraft, and it is the real reason why I almost cried when my disk became unreadable.
Edit! I polished the disk for over an hour, and have been able to successfully download and install my old copy of fsx gold!
I AM SOOO HAPPY!!!!!
I have a Beaver flying over my place quite often, as there is a floatplane version here in Hobart, Tasmania that caters for tourist flights. So a welcome addition to the sim for me too.
Thanks for this labour of love, Jon. I'm still downloading the update but slobbering over the aircraft you've reviewed so far. Thanks, mate.
Don't forget to tighten de yellow oil nob, to stop the rattling sound. Nice video.
I was so surprised this evening to see that after the update the Beaver is in the sim! Great stuff !!
Good review... I was testing the new additions and this airframe is excellent!... the curved cockpit and the placement of the instruments is reeking with logic, everything is in the right spot!... simply brilliant. The sounds and the way it flies are fantastic. Will be enjoying this new favourite.
Thank you :)
These service our local area here on Vancouver Island as an alternative for the ferry to the mainland, and I've been waiting for the beaver with floats for a long time now. Do wish Asobo had invested some more time and effort in making water physics when a plane's floating in it/using it as runway more realistic. Still, very happy this finally landed, pun intended.
Heyyy fellow islander, greetings from saltspring
I managed a RNAV approach and it worked using the GTN 750 from the pulldown menu. I thought it wasn't going to work but at the last moment, the glidepath showed up and it locked in. But after a successful landing, I forgot about tail draggers and I tipped the plane over using the brakes. I needed to pull back on the yoke. Very impressive plane for freeware.
Photorealism is getting closer. Looks great! 💙
Looks wonderful-thanks for the intro flight!
This was my favorite aircraft in FSX and P3D. It was the first aircraft from The 40th Anniversary Edition that I jumped in after updating.
It's good fun, isn't it.
It is, I never enjoyed counsel gaming. So this is my go to thing, I don't know anyone in my family or friends that has played any Flight Sim. It's always been Xbox, and other game counsels. I took Aviation in high school 4 hours in the afternoon as an annex and ended up enlisting in the Army because of the bonus check in 1982 instead of the Air Force.
I enjoyed the Beaver Seaplane in Bora Bora, wonderful flying slowly over the turquoise waters.
I have flown on a DH-2 with floats while I was in San Francisco on New Year’s Eve few years ago. 😊
Thank you, I have just downloaded the 40th anniversary update and I will fly the Beaver tomorrow first thing in the morning. Best regards from Sydney Australia.
Have fun!
This has the best visuals in the update for me, the exterior is beautiful.
I think several of the new planes are very good.
I was just going to say - there is an autopilot. I'm up and flying now. I like having the autopilot but you are right, this plane really doesn't need it. i wish all planes would have the autopilot feature if you want to use it. Great video, thanks.
I know :) I'm blind lol
The amphib version handles really well in the water. You can actually taxi up to a dock in a realistic way, much better than any other float plane I've used.
Fantastic!
I can steer on the water with the rudders up. is there a switch for raising/lowering?
found rudder lever, down by my left leg.
The best of the bunch I think. Thank you Milviz.
I think several of them are great. Really depends what you like flying.
This is great! I haven't done tons of bush flying, but this may change that.
I made literally hundreds of jumps out of these guys at Ft. Rucker back in the mid-60's. Wonder if there's a skydiving version, like the C-208, with the doors off.
Great I flew one for years Souther Cross Downsville MD. Most fun I ever had,
Very nice first flight. I love these type of planes as well.
Me too!
Great fun this plane is! Really enjoying it.
It is good fun :)
Loved my Milviz Beaver back in the P3d days… excited to try it in MSFS!
It's very good.
Aerosoft made a fab beaver as well back in the day
I do love this aircraft.
I've flown it quite a bit - it's good, isn't it :)
Thanks again Johathan for another great review, I like you love this plan and it was free yepee! Although today I had a very strange thing happen , I'd just made a short flight from blackbushe to popham when after disengaging the auto pilot for the landing the prop condition lever pulled back all on its own and as a consequence I crashed! I'm going to check this out again tomorrow, very weird. Gary.
Hmmm... that is strange
Gorgeous !
since day one i only play bush planes in MSFS 2020 mostly and i never knew this beautiful plane was coming ! im so happy ! and im Canadian haha. This planes compared to the low details and effort of the Pilatus PC6.... its amazing!
It's good, isn't it.
close to the Aerosoft version from long ago but this is pretty good and a good video Thank You
Took me a number of practice attempts to take off and especially land this aircraft. I would roll it upside down at times🤣 I really like this though that you can't just jump into this aircraft you have to get to know it. As I haven't had MSFS long I am still trying out the various aircrafts but did purchase the Piper warrior from Just flight which is really nice.
Justflight sell some nice aircraft :)
We all love a Beaver!
Beautiful.
I see what you did there ;)
Looks like a laugh, will have to try this. Cheers JB.
Great video ..thanks 👍
These types of aircraft are right up my street ! ,cant wait to try it out.
One question though ..doesn't utilising FSRealistic negate the sounds and effects of the aircraft which were developed by the developers? , for example you mentioned
"..its simulating the noise on the grass" but surely that was fsrealistic? and not the aircraft developers, or the engine sounds?
Anyway thanks for the video ,looking forward to more.
Not sure - I'll have to shut down FSRealistic to take a look.
Magnífico.
Love it. Some sim aircraft are too easy to fly. The Beaver will give me plenty to work on.
I love it too :)
I flew this aircraft on PD3 and what a amazing surprise to have it for free now and Wow. Maybe after Asobo made is own PC-6 they realize their airplane dont go at the ankle of the Milviz PC-6 and the give the contract to migrate their DHC-2 to MSFS. Maybe who know the true but we have now on MSFS three very good Milviz/Blackbird birds as PC-6, Cessna 310R and DHC-2 !!!
It's a very good version of it.
Nice vid. Mind sharing what system you're running this on? I saw zero stutter/fps drops. Would be nice to see how you do this, since I have a hard time getting decent perf even with a 9700K/RTX3080/32gb. Also, where did you take off?
Almost identical. I7, 3080, 16Gb RAM. Fast internet connection too - which probably helps. I'm only running one screen, although it is in 4K.
@@jonbeckett don't get why so much stuttering then on my pc. mind sharing settings?
some of the things you mentioned, such as shaking and ground noise, were probably from your FS Realistic. You should mention that a little deeper during a review so those who are not paying attention to your brief mention of it will not be disappointed. Otherwise, thank you for the review. Nicely done.
The levers shaking and rattling in the cockpit are part of the plane.
@@jonbeckett You tighten the three knobs below the levers to stop the shaking and rattling
are there some manuals or checklis for this plane??
thanks again for showing us these new aircraft from the update :)
Yes - they are in the installation directory (in the packages folder)
@@jonbeckett ok, thanks
Notice it has no autopilot you say whilst looking right at the ap panel
It's been a long day lol - I'll record some proper flights with it over the weekend.
Im grinning :) she's beautiful
Heh
You need to be aware of what FSR is adding to your audio review and cabin shake and what the plane is actually providing. Personally I'd disable FSR for plane reviews
If you ever flew in one of these beasts, you'd love that realism - it does shake like a wet dog. 😅
@@gpbarth oh I fully agree but if people don't have FSR then they'll wonder why their plane is different. I was flying her last night and she's an instant favourite
In cruise are the flaps
left in cruise climb or fully retracted?
Again - raise them as soon as airspeed allows.
In cruise are the flaps left in cruise climb. or full up?
Raise the flaps as soon as you are able to.
I guess I’m just a fudd. I want it ALL. I want all operating procedures to be necessary and damages if ‘selected’. I want useage and hours and maintenance needs. I want my replay and recorder back! Til then, I keep flying the Beaver.
PS: and I want to be allowed to park my plane and later return and plan the next flight!
@00:52 how many total seats? 7? 3 in back then 2 then 2 in the cockpit?
Good question. I suspect different real-world versions had different number so retro-fitted seats.
fulll throttle is not used on takeoff or climb with a 450. Single stage supercharger
We were just talking about this on a group flight tonight - that the aircraft given away have been dumbed down a little. You would expect to be able to damage the engine at full throttle, but it doesn't appear you can... I get it - it's about accessibility for newcomers too. I'll have to try it with all damage on, and see what it does when abused :)
@@jonbeckett I got it ! 40 inches of MP back to 37 on climb out. Supercharger output controls how much throttle you SHOULD apply. ! Up around 8K full throttle is used. Many years hauling skydivers in a Beaver . The most funnest airplane iI have ever flown !!!
Is there a tail wheel lock?
Not sure - you'll have to check that. To be honest, it's easy to hold in a straight line with the rudder anyway.
is there floats available yet ?
Yes - they are in the liveries.
has anyone figured out if you can make the tablet disappear?
Not sure - I wonder if there's a click spot somewhere ?
@@jonbeckett me too.... still looking
Is it normal that Beaver use 125l of fuel for an hour? 118nm/h 2000rpm 2700mnp
Are you leaning the engine out while in-flight ?
@@jonbeckett about 2/3 of mixature
@@jonbeckett How to lean when no EGT gauge?
@@bursavideo8147 lean until the u notice the rpm drop and push it a tiny bit
@@bursavideo8147 It's not shown in the model but IRL the Beaver has Auto-rich and Auto-lean like the DC3 so I just pull it back to around the 1/3 area and it seems to work. Also decrease MP and RPM to save fuel.
Novice here. When would you, if ever, not leave the propeller RPM lever at 100%?
You would never leave the engine at 100%. It's a bit like driving a car - say you're driving along in 2nd gear - do you change up to reach 30mph, and rev the crap out of the engine in 2nd? It's about protecting the engine.
@@jonbeckett I do not mean the throttle, but the RPM lever in the middle. I don't really understand it's use.
@@PSPbrtag Think of it like a transmission in a car. Full forward is first gear - good for climbing up hills but when you get to the top you want to shift to a higher gear so pull the prop lever back. The difference is that it will maintain the RPM you set it at. Moving the throttle does not change the RPM but it will cause you to either climb, descend, increase or decrease speed depending on what you do with the elevator because it is actually changing the pitch of the propeller blades to stay at the same RPM despite you having added or subtracted power with the throttle. It's all about efficiency.
awful paint job but i love the beaver
You can stop that annoying squeaking sound by tightening the oil dipstick
I discovered that earlier this evening :)
What airport are you at? Because I see it in a lot of your videos and I would like to fly there
