Excellent shots! easy mode? There's several difficulty modes?

The "easy mode" means that the AFE (short for: Artificial Flight Engineer) takes over most of the duties, so that I can concentrate on flying this beauty.

This is, what PMDG says about it: 

Once you have learned the airplane and feel comfortable taking over tasks, your Flight Engineer will gladly relinquish tasks to you and you can operate the airplane entirely on your own, utilizing every switch, knob, lever and circuit breaker that exists in the actual DC-6.  We have included a custom-written manual that includes all of the performance charts and tables to help you manage every phase of flight in complete realism if that is your choice.

When you are ready to really step-up to Total Realism, you can configure the PMDG DC-6's realism settings to simulate the intricacies of power management through fuel and mixture management, oil pressure, cylinder head temperatures, proper combustion, supercharger operation, dynamic simulation of carburetor icing, and hundreds of additional parameters using realistic procedures so as to avoid damage to the engine cylinders, pistons, rings, connecting rods and the all important main bearing.

The PMDG DC-6 is uniquely well suited to a broad range of simulation pilots because you can set it's complexity easily with simple click of a few settings to suit your tastes.  If you want to ease your initial learning and then progress in skill level, the PMDG DC-6 will allow you to do just that and we have even created 20+ tutorial videos on our PMDG Simulations Official YouTube channel to help you learn how to fly this airplane like a pro- no matter what your skill level.

I think I heard that in one of the videos, where someone said, if you can manage this thing in MSFS, you can fly the real thing too 🙂
