P3Dv4 DC-6 First Flight - WOW

[AirCanada235 103]

WOW - 

Enroute from CYVR to CYYJ and this airplane is SICK!  I fly tube-liners for a living and this I have to say is totally incredible.  The sound is amazing!!!

Nice work Double R and team!

Yessss! Glad to hear it.

I love the sounds. Having spent a lot of time around radials over the last few years, I can definitely appreciate it. Glad you do too!

Definitley says something when a RW pro pilot likes it (my guess is he is an Air Canada guy).

I am so dumb, just noticed your user name. Which airframe are you on?

This aircraft is amazing... love it from the first second.. Just did a short flight from TNCM to TKPK (or better: I tried it) but I didn't get along with the AFE... When I switched him off I killed all my engines (the MP jumped around like crazy and I couldn't calm them down).. I think I will have to go into the manual, lol... I tried it like Sully but I drowned my freight in the Caribbean.. Well, the flight back to TNCM without the AFE was a lot better (and healthier) for everyone involved.. Guess my RW J-3 hours helped a lot lol...

Thanks PMDG for another amazing aircraft in my hangar :D

WOW was my first word too, shortly followed by...."Oh lord" this is a whole new beast to learn

I much prefer to fly her myself, after all with electric prop sync and only one prop lever (the cue ball) and auto mixture flying solo in the simulator is reasonable with practice.  It helps that I have decades in a light twin too.

Marc,

The address in your eCommerce account is the one to which we mail the invoice for our airplane that you dumped in the ocean?

We can do payroll deduction if you like...

Whoa whoa whoa. Wait for the NTSB report, board inquiry. You can't just blame the pilot like that... ;-)

naaaa, it was the Flying Bulls one.. I think I'll drink-and-jump that out with Red Bull.. I'll just tell them I learned to fly it at PMDG :)

Are we soon to see a flight video of the bird?

[kityatyi 78]

Missing the pilot animations. :-P

I wasn't going to purchase this because I'm more of a jet kinda guy but....I couldn't resist after seeing everyone's reaction and my reaction is the same. Wow. That sound set is insane!
