June 4, 20196 yr Hi, I've got a problem with the PMDG DC-6 - I know it isn't fully supported but there are other non-supported aircraft that don't have this problem. Whenever I load the aircraft, with monitoring, enabled it complains that there have been engine failures, this is also the case when shutting down an engine. Also whenever I try and lower the gear, it complains saying that I'm overspeeding and asks me if I'm sure I want to lower it. Is there a way to stop it doing this? It'd be greatly appreciated. Best, James James W

Is there a way to stop it doing this? It'd be greatly appreciated. Best, James Should be able to sort that one out. Need to make a specific reference file for the DC 6. FO will then know the maximum landing gear extend and retract max speeds. What are they by the way? Since I don't own a copy of the aircraft, what is the name stated in "Aircraft.cfg", under [Fltsim.0], "Sim=whatever_name" Gerald R https://www.multicrewxp.com

Could you also include the [Flaps.0] and [Flaps.1], [Flaps.2] (if listed) and what are the actual flaps detents on the aircraft as labeled on the flaps lever scale?

June 6, 20196 yr Author Hi, here is is from the cfg file. The flaps lever positions are: 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 & 50 degrees.

Feel free to edit default V speeds as well as flaps detents specific speed limits according to Manual. Gerald R https://www.multicrewxp.com
