Who wants to pay more for something that they can get cheaper, this comment makes no sense. $54.99 sale is a steal for this aircraft (I expected ($60 - $70) for this and was not too far off. Quite surprised at the price.

I quite agree but read the thread 😁

Anyway, enough on this now from me. I've made my point.

For those having CTDs - Try it without having multiplayer on. It seems there is an issue that would cause to CTD if you load in at place where another DC6 player might also be.

After utterly failing to get the plane off the ground, it's time to read the manuals - the best part about buying a PMDG plane! See you all in a few hours.

Early impressions - plane looks great, very little (none that I could see, but maybe in different airports etc) FPS hit, good price. I'm sure this will be a big hit. No buyers remorse.

Same my side. Tried to fly it without reading the manuals and failed miserably. Took me back to my time in FSX with the PMDG 747 - so yes time to read the manuals and watch all the tutorial videos.

Love the exterior model and the attention to detail. The flags of countries the flew DC-6 on the side including that of my home country South Africa. Even thought the electronic flight engineer had an Afrikaans accent.

Thanks PMDG for an excellent early Father’s Day present at a very good price.

Why is no multiplayer no option? They are aware of the problem and are also speaking with Asobo/MS to try and get that part of the aircraft fixed. If you are having CTDs still even when you fly it with multiplayer off then something else is going on. You will have to contact support for further help.

Good luck with your refund request. But as I said, it's not a feature its a bug and PMDG are aware and also have asked Asobo for help regarding the issue with CTD when using multiplayer/group flight when another DC6 user is close.

You won’t get a refund from them. You’ll just have to wait for a patch to fix the issue.

Seems like the same issue that plagued MSFS in autumn: AFAIK the issue was that the sim only could handle 1 set of data for a specific aircraft type, so if an AI aicraft of the same model you were flying entered the skies, the sim tried to use the same data for all both (or more) aircraft. Off course that really did 🤐 your flight.
