Was just about to purchase milviz PC6 but...

Featured Replies

Hello folks,

I was about to purchase the Milviz PC6 in anticipation of "stage 2" that's suppose to be released at some point.
I did notice that the minimum requirements require a 8GB video card?? Is this a typo? 8GB seems excessive for a minimum requirement on an airplane of this complexity, I mean PMDG's DC6 requires 2gb minimum video card.

Just curious if anyone is using this aircraft with less than 8GB on the video card?

That is weird, maybe post the question in the Milviz PC-6 thread and someone might have an answer.

MSFS on a 2 GB video card...?

I do not think so. 😉

Definitely wouldn’t advise on it, but even the recommended on the dc6 is 4gb, minimum on the pc6 is 8 gb 😂…I gotta go look again I may have read it wrong.

Edit: nope didn’t read it wrong, it says 8Gb…must be some hardcore coding in that thing.

You are going to be fine with 6 GB  IMHO...

I have a 1070ti 8GB and it flies perfect no problems what so ever

I'm not sure complexity matters much. You could have a PMDG level of complexity with Atari 2600 graphics and not need much video card to display the plane. On the other hand, you could have the Wright Flyer with individual 200mb textures for each stitch and you'd quickly run out of video memory. 😉

Very true, but 8gb seems excessive on any modern day add-on.

Hope I'm not going off piste a little here, but does anyone know when Stage 2 will be released? I really would like to fly this plane but I have no wish to do so without steam gauges. Thanks.

Early next year as said by Colin P in the official forum. And I can tell you that flying  the MV Porter with the NXi is pure simmer happiness.

I have the Milviz and like the way it flys and the I prefer the Milviz sound. I think the exterior detail and panel detail of the Microsof one is better, more detail.

I hope  the Porter thats in the pipeline will have the best of both. I dont need a third one if it doesnt have (most) features of the other 2.
