Amazing product, the entire series. As much as I dislike Randazzo as a person, they’re true Boeing kings in the simulator. I really want them to make the 787 instead of the 747 after they deliver T7, but I think they’ll milk it and work with the code and data they have. 

Glad you’re enjoying it, Bob.

 You'll find some disparaging comments about the PMDG 

PMDG dropped the ball on issues that they promised last year would materialize in due time. "Comments" on this by paying customers hardly qualify as "disparaging".

Hi Carl!

I'll admit I haven't flown the DC6 in quite a while, though not because of any fault of the plane.  I was annoyed with the unrealistically short range of radio navaids in MSFS, but I'm hoping that's been improved with the recent avionics update?

I've recently gotten somewhat obsessed with celestial navigation again though, so I'm ready for more long overwater flights in a vintage prop liner.  I was wondering if you've tried the sextant addon for MSFS?  It's much less simplified than the one in FSX (which I still really enjoyed), makes you work the sight reductions out yourself (or use an online calculator for expediency if you prefer, but nice to have the option!). It's great and I highly recommend, if you have any interest in such things:

Anyway, sorry to hijack.  On topic: yes PMDG has done a wonderful job with the NG family in this sim; I've been enjoying the -900ER recently.  😉

Andy-

Great to hear from you. I loves your Sextant series and followed along in P3D but haven’t tried it in MSFS. I shall certainly check it out. Thanks mate!

Unfortunately, I’m not certain AAU fixed the range issue… perhaps in one of the upcoming updates? I agree at times it’s dismal. Do treat yourself to time in the Old Girl when you can… she’s grand.

Best- C
