Don't think Buffalo runs any DC-6's, just DC-3's and 4's.  Could be wrong though.  That said, there should be a fair handful of pilots with a ton of hard DC-3 and DC-4 time up in Yellowknife.

 

Conair, in Abbotsford B.C. used DC-6's for firefighting tankers, but if I'm not mistaken I think they've all been retired as of this year.

Will this be available for X-Plane 10 ?

Thank You Robert......

 

I am not a valid tester but I will be a valid virtual Pilot!!!!!!!!!!

You are quite correct- my error.

I was a loadmaster for the DC-6, C-46, and EMB-120 for 6 years at Everts Air Cargo in Alaska... don't think that'd help much though.  :-(

Blast, I must be over qualified, as I have just negotiated 16 solar systems, a Red Dust carrier out of Mars also an out of orbit/control sputnik of the human race.

 

But I can fly a Zordric interstella lighthbeam cruiser..  But sadly it does not drip oil.  :lol:  :lol: :lol:  :lol:  

Captains-

 

It is EXTREMELY rare that we put out an open casting call for new testers- but we have a couple of unique opportunities available that we would like to see if you can fill:

 

We are inching closer to the testing process for the first of our upcoming PMDG Classics series of products. The first product in this line will be the Douglas DC-6.

 

Unlike the modern airliners that comprise our primary product line- there aren't many DC-6s left in the world, so it isn't a simple thing to collect a bunch of experts from various airlines and seek their input to enhance the quality of the finished product.

 

So- we are putting out a general call for anyone who can answer yes to any of the qualities listed below:

 

1) You have in your logbook PIC, SIC or FE flight time in the DC-2, DC-3, DC-4, DC-6 or DC-7 type airplanes.

2) You have experience maintaining a DC-2, DC-3, DC-4, DC-6 or DC-7.

3) You have experience flying or maintaining some other type of airplane that is powered by 1820, 1830, R2000, R2800, 3360 engines or similar.

 

If you can answer yes to any of the qualities listed above, then we would like to seek your interest in helping us to test the DC-6 and subsequent products coming on the PMDG Classics production line.

 

The first test will be to see if you are able to follow instructions- so here we go:

 

1) Go to http://support.precisionmanuals.com

2) Create an account if needed, or log in using your existing account credentials.

3) Create a ticket for GENERAL SUPPORT that lists "DC-6 BETA TEST" in the subject line.

4) Give us a quick summary of your experience in the content portion of the ticket, along with any proof of your experience that you care to provide. (Photos, scans of licenses, etc.)

 

We will then get back to you with questions and/or further instructions!

 

NOTE: We do conduct background verification on all applicants- so please be prepared to provide some documentary evidence of your background. This is a normal process and is usually pretty painless unless your documentary evidence requires surgery to see... :ph34r:

 

NOTE 2: We are not recruiting individuals for any other testing positions. If you contact us with a request to join this team and you are clearly not qualified, you will not receive an answer. If you contact us with a request to join the 777 or 744 testing teams, you will not receive an answer.

 

Thanks, folks- we look forward to hearing from a few of you!

 

P.S.: You might get a quiz too see what you really know. For example- we may ask you "Which is the right engine for a DC-3? 1820 or 1830?" We may also ask questions such as "What does it mean when your R2000 stops dripping oil?"

 

If you don't know those answers..... hmmmmmm

Dear sir To answer your first one that is both, 2 Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9-cyl. air-cooled radial piston engine, 1,100 hp, or 2 × Pratt & Whitney R-1830-S1C3G Twin Wasp 14-cyl. air-cooled two row radial piston engine, 1,200 hp, third option the 3-bladed Hamilton Standard 23E50 series. :-)

I think I might be tempted on this one. Probably extremely challenging to learn how to operate - but doubt it wouldn't be fun! Just need to remove ones superglue to the 777...

 

 

Oh, and Robert said FIRST IN THE LINE OF CLASSICS SERIES. I don't know what's cooking, but something tells me I'm going to like it B)

 

Yes indeed. Will be looking forward to an expanding menu of classic series products.

From an era when flying was actually flying.. Looking forward to this one.
 

I failed all the requirements

My life is such a tragedy I swear

I would like to see one of the pilot from the following below clip become one of our testers in PMDG.... DC3...is in their hearts!.

Great movie...Now that's a dedicated pilot...Robert, you should try and convince him in his spare time waiting for the a/c to be fixed to do some testing^^^
