The deHavilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a high wing, single-engine STOL aircraft, powered by a Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior engine, providing 450 HP. It was introduced in 1948 and is known as THE ultimate bush plane.
The SoulMade Simulations aircraft comes with options to configure for regular, bush and water operations, using the normal wheel, bush wheel or amphibious version, respectively. In addition the cabin can be setup for three different configurations. Passenger, passenger/cargo mix and cargo cabin.
If you love bush flying in a vintage, rugged and reliable aircraft, look no further.
The SoulMade Simulations DHC-2 Beaver is the best aircraft in its category.

Ich habe die Soulmade DHC-2 schon vor einigen Wochen für meinen virtuellen Hangar gekauft , und es bisher nicht bereut.
- das 3D Modell ist sehr gut gelungen; Texturen okay.
- Cockpit detailliert, gut lesbar
- die Handhabung dieser DHC-2 ist simpel
--_ der Triebwerkstart ist ebenfalls sehr simpel angelegt
- das Ground Handling ist vereinfacht ( daher kein Problem die Lady von der Parkposition zur Piste zu rollen--_ damit auch online interessant! )
- das Flugverhalten ist EXTREM gutmütig --_ meiner Ansicht nach zu gutmütig !
- eine sanfte Landung auf dem Hauptfahrwerk ist ebenfalls problemlos zu schaffen
- für Wasserlandungen gibt es die Option der reduzierten Welleneffekte für x-plane
---_ sehr schönes Addon !!!! Daumen hoch hier !
T/O , Turns, Level Flight, Approach, Final ---_ alles kein Problem für einen einigermassen erfahrenen SimPiloten
Fazit:
Ein grafisch sehr schönes Flugzeug mit "etwas" zu gutmütigem Flugverhalten.
Dennoch die für mich beste DHC-2 im Flugsimulator ; auch simulatorübergreifend!
Safe Landing
