For those that are “too old to update”, have you got a grandson / granddaughter nearby that you can ask to click the mouse perhaps? Maybe that will work. 😉

Just curious and a bit off topic, but does anyone know how I can stop the ops centre from starting automatically when Windows Starts?

on the lower right search bar of windows, type startup apps. Search for the PMDG operations center and disable it there 🙂

Cheers mate.  I've been searching in the app itself.  Thanks, I will try tonight.

Woke up to this patch finally being released. Update worked fine. The ops center updated itself, and asked to reboot in admin mode. Then it applied the update to the plane. Finally I had to fix orphaned liveries, which is a small downside that Rob adressed in the release notes for this patch. Liveries must be reinstalled after update, but that is not a big deal for me.

 

First thing I did was turning on all groups again (yay!), went straight to EDDF and started looking around for other DC6's. Found a few, and just slew next to them, checking them out 😄 Everything fine, no crashes or similar.

reminder for ppl using it the the addon linker, make sure its activated , then run the opcenter, else it wont find it haha.

rolls eyes at myself, quite logical, yay for the addon linker tho.

it says Too Old to update

updates are tied to age groups, unlike for Covid vaccinations PMDG chose to start with the youngster 😉

Smooth updates for both Operations Center and DC-6, PMDG is true to its reputation of excellency.

DC-6A (freighter), cargo stay`s visible if the plane is empty, this bug wasnt before...

DC6 updated and airborne.

Just tried to fly a Gyro pilot coupled ILS approach after the update, and it still doesn't work correctly. It won't intercept the localizer, goes right thought it no matter how closely I align with the loc before engaging APP. Oh well, I will just continue to hand fly the ILS.
