May 31, 201610 yr Frooglesim has just posted a new video on the DC-6, He calls it, "Your First Impressions" As usual, nicely done and entertaining a bit too. Thanks for the heads up.
May 31, 201610 yr X-plane in general still suffers from the too small in the sim market to matter for most of the big sim developers, so i know your pain. Just in the last year this has started to change and now we see the fruits. Maybe in 5 years we have a large enough userbase that companies are willing to take more bets in regards to linux and it will be win/mac/linux compatible for all Yes this would be a win win situation for everyone.
May 31, 201610 yr I think this will save Xplane, as its the 1st study sim plane for Xplane which will draw a lot of simmers.

I don't think X-Plane needs saving, it's been running along for quite a while now under its own steam. I'm sure though that you are right about it drawing a lot of simmers of a certain demographic who might now be willing to venture farther than the Microsoft/Lockheed castle which can only help the cause. Quite how many will be tempted will be interesting to see. i7 7700k, @ 4.6Ghz. GTX1070 8Gig. 32Gigs DDR4 2400. Win 10 pro. X-Plane 11.

May 31, 201610 yr I think this will save Xplane, as its the 1st study sim plane for Xplane which will draw a lot of simmers. I wouldn't quite go that far! For instance the FlyJsim 737-200, 727-200 I would consider study sim plane, IXEG is close if they incorporate the missing systems they acknowledge, I most definitely think they would qualify. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
May 31, 201610 yr Let us keep in mind this is PMDG's first shot at the XP platform which I think is no easy task. Just because they do have quite of experience developing for the other sims doesn't mean their first shot with XP will go as far as the other ones, we will have to wait and see.

May 31, 201610 yr I think this will save Xplane, as its the 1st study sim plane for Xplane which will draw a lot of simmers. What an absurd statement. XP has already several "study sims". This won't bring that many new simmers as you seem to think. Definitely not as much as the IXEG 733. 4790K @4.9GHz, 32GB DDR3, 1080Ti, W10-64bit

I agree and Take Command!: Saab 340A is another study sim plane too.

May 31, 201610 yr Commercial Member Hmm... fun comments up there /\ :smile: Regardless, looking forward to the DC-6!! Jim Stewart Milviz Person.
May 31, 201610 yr Product page now updated http://www.precisionmanuals.com/pages/product/XP/dc6.html No "Internet Connection" mentioned on the page so I guess the DRM will be the old serial number method.
May 31, 201610 yr No "Internet Connection" mentioned on the page so I guess the DRM will be the old serial number method. That page is just about the product. If you go to the purchase information in the PMDG shop you will find the requirements for purchase and yes, Internet connection is required http://www.precisionmanuals.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=106&idcategory=26 Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict
May 31, 201610 yr Hmm no linux support = no PMDG support. Ludicrous when x-plane runs natively in Linux. Oh well, lucky for us that devs who can't be bothered with Linux are very few in number. Regards Pete

Regards Pete Well, you know what they say at that "other" forum...............................Something along the lines of linux users being such a very small percentage, that the numbers are just not there. People who produce these products, do have to eat, you know! Anyway, make your case, if it makes you feel better.
