PMDG DC-6 thought

Here is a great example of someone jumping to conclusions.  This is a quote from a post you made regarding how you think I will behave regarding the DC6

"It will happen, you are enjoying it because its a recent release.  When PMDG and other developers release currently used aircraft, this one will not interest most at that point."

I guess you must have your crystal ball working well.

I do not get easily bored.  What I am is the type of person that likes realism and I struggle with how to make a plane that stopped production in 1958 fit into today's realism.   So after a little research today the aircraft is only used for military and wildfire fighting.   So I don't simulate those scenarios in my simming.  I will end with, you sound like a person that is quick to jump to conclusions. 

The unlimited world of imagination my friend. I just use ramps instead of gates or just start at the runway and pretend it’s 1958.🙂

I just pretend a DC-6 was restored in whatever livery I'm flying.

I dont care for pretending its 1958.  I like immersing myself in real world current day flights.

Not disagreeing here but why wasn't this the case when it was released for P3D?

It never got that much attention with P3D. The plane is basically the same, but MSFS makes it really shine. Being the first really complex add-on for the platform (sorry CRJ) also plays a role.

Actually, that video is from 2007. 🙂  They're still flying these birds today.

Who knows you may be right for some and not for others.  Does it matter?  It’s still a pretty phenomenal plane and just what the community needed at this time.  Even if your predictions were fully realized it will nonetheless forever be considered a milestone in MSFS’s history.
