PMDG developed it a few years ago and sold it for P3D and X-Plane, along with its other "non-fringe" products. Perhaps the only surprise is that PMDG chose it to be its first offering in MSFS. Other than it is a "vintage" aircraft, we really do not know how its sales have compared with other PMDG products, and we do not know if PMDG consider it a fringe product or not. It is not the only vintage aircraft they have developed. And PMDG is certainly not the only developer who have offered vintage aircraft, including for example Aeroplane Heaven and JustFlight, and presumably they have sold well. The DC6 is a great flying aircraft and it is pretty much all I fly now.

November 23, 20214 yr Is the PMDG DC-6 solely a hardcore "study level" plane? I'm a casual player who just wants to enjoy the noise and spectacle of the great DC6 to tootle around Alaska and the rest of the Pacific Northwest. I have no desire to learn hyper-real systems management. Does it have a kind of "rookie mode" where you can CTRL+E and the AI takes care of all the background engine & systems management?

There is a virtual flight engineer who can do a lot of things for you. I'm confident you could easily take it to the skies. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

Yes, I just tried it for one circuit. No issues there without reading a manual first. Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉
