How do u get it up off the runway it just sinks when trying to take off

I can only refer to the tutorial series, but it was said, that your climb angle has to be REALLY shallow at takeoff, else it will lose speed and stall and crash.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Saved by the bell.

Now you're talking. Absolutely correct on that.

There are about 18 Tutorial videos on Youtube on how to fly this aircraft. If I were you I would watch them. No more than 5 degrees climb angle with either dry or wet power.

That's typical post's from a VNAV LNAV button pusher, so exciting. Not much skill in that.

Yes, flaps 20 is mandatory. And a really shallow climb angle of no more than 5 degrees.

I can't wait to fly this baby but I have not recieved my download link! My account at PMDG shows my purchase and order number and that the order is "completed".. I have shot off a help request to PMDG , no response yet.. I know they're busy but maybe I'm doing something wrong.. Any ideas? Cheers Danielw

This cost as much as Just flight aircraft

Sorry but Just Flight is not on the same level as PMDG not even close.

Seems like DC-6 partially compatible with PMS50 GNS430 mod

My impression already is a great deal of time better be spent in the cockpit studying where everything is, before getting off the ground. There is alot going on.

Can you explain? What do you mean Partially?

Somehow it doesn't register active flight plan or leg from the start
