PMDG DC-6 Release info

Any word on price? Its release day

[LAdamson 240]

It's amazing that you think somebody expressing their disappointment at the lack of linux support makes them 'entitled'. Really, truly astounding how condescending some people here can be. 

It's always the way they say it.  Usually a derogatory statement about the developer, hidden within their written thoughts on the subject.  It's never.......... "nice product, wish we could have one for linux, but it's understandable."

Waiting also just have to wait and see what the day brings.

To be fair not all of them do that but enough do that it's grating. "Oh well I guess I won't be supporting X dev because they won't develop for my niche OS." I appreciate Linux and everything but you knew exactly what you where getting into.

No of course not, you're only entitled to a product when you pay for it. If PMDG offered a linux version for a higher price statistics show that they would probably make almost the same in sales as Mac OSX. (We're willing to spend more for the same thing): http://cheesetalks.net/humble/

Look for Hardware Stats and unless linux users pay 700 dollars and mac users pay 70 dollars,  you wont get the same sales

 

[CyberMike 18]

MAC represents 35% of the total base while linux 1%

 

Yea Linux was 3%. Personally I don't give much on that as it only counts update button hits. I look more at Valve and such statistics.

Also I have all planes that I would ever have bought working on Ubuntu. If some companies think that Linux is below their level, never mind. See my previous posting.

Well nothing yet from PMDG

Honestly I would be surprised if the DC-6 didn't work in Linux. Not officially supported of course.

 Point noted. Although it is interesting how different this is to the humble bundle, and steam usage statistics, which put linux and mac much closer to each other (and much much smaller in comparison with windows).

I think you're digging yourself a bit of a hole there mate.

I get the feeling you guys don't have the best intentions, please, no one wants to start a flame war here. If I do move to windows at some point again I'll certainly buy this aircraft it looks fantastic, and the systems depth it apparently has, certainly appeals to me, and probably would to many other linux users. I'm not purposely boycotting PMDG out of some sort of uninformed belief that they are linux haters or something. far out. Anyway there's always the chance that if we ask nicely, they might give a statement on whether or not they are planning to take the product in that direction.

 

It will be interesting to watch youtube videos of you guys flying it and seeing how in depth they've really taken it. Haven't seen any videos yet of people flying it or starting it completely manually, does anyone know of one?

Probably due to the fact that XP remains the only sim available on mac and it was for a very long time developed exclusively on it.

Kyle stated that there're no external plugins because all is developed in-house, this mean that they compiled their own code and if Linux is not supported I assume that there's no working Linux version.
