July 25, 201510 yr Moderator For anyone who hasn't seen this, there is a preview video up of PMDG's DC-6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXnUEjgKfcU
July 25, 201510 yr Hi Tony, Thanks for the heads-up. It does, indeed, look highly detailed. An outside view would have been nice. I am looking forward to the release. Jim Morgan

July 25, 201510 yr Life was so much calmer back then And you just walked out to the plane, no security check nothing, very easy going lifestyle Nowadays? .... well we all know, we download memories of the past eh?
July 25, 201510 yr Life was so much calmer back then And you just walked out to the plane, no security check nothing, very easy going lifestyle Nowadays? .... well we all know, we download memories of the past eh? Part of the reason I love taking the train across Europe. Walk on Walk off. Bliss. While the train between Amsterdam and Paris is longer then the flight, it has zero stress and it just so easy Chris Smith

July 26, 201510 yr It's cool that he starts off with praising the detail and free nature of the X-Plane scenery addons, namely W2XP and RTH I guess. So true! Also nice seeing the DC-6 getting closer to release. That circuit breaker detail surely is a nice item to keep you busy.
July 27, 201510 yr Although it looks nice, I am not especially excited about a DC-6. Am glad that PMDG is soon going to be in X Plane along with their other aircraft later on.

July 27, 201510 yr I was going to get this but I'm not sure I would use it that much. This is no reflection upon the apparent high quality, just that I prefer more modern stuff. I will be 1st in the queue however for an X-Plane version of their 737 NG !

July 27, 201510 yr Lookin' good. I just hope this model has a reduced-workload option of some kind, maybe with more relaxed failure modes for engine controls? The real thing was never designed to be operated by one person, after all. There should be all the complexity needed for those who want to dive into it, but they'll sell more of this model to existing X-Plane market if it's flyable at some reduced realism level, as an option.
