PMDG DC-6 in MSFS 2024?

Featured Replies

Yesterday I stumbled upon a twotonemurphy Live Stream on YouTube titled "DC-6 Mail Run, South Africa Hub", (MSFS 2024).

As far as am I am aware, the DC-6 has not yet been released  for MSFS 2024. Thus, I am wondering if anyone knows how he got the DC-6 into MSFS 2024, is he using a Beta perhaps?

I hoped that info would come up in the Live Stream but I had difficulty with the accent & missed it if it did.🙂

Thank you

Just copy it into your MSFS 2024 folder. It works fine.

Tried that yesterday but couldn't get it to appear in the MSFS 2024 Aircraft line up.

I did copy straight from the MSFS 2020 Community Folder, perhaps the wrong source?

Perhaps.

I copied it into the MSFS 2024 Community Folder.

I’ve been flying it in 2024 just fine. Pretty much just that - copy from 2020 to 2024.

I guess make sure it’s in a folder called Community and not Community2024?

Waiting for the official FS24 neverending update from PMDG.

Yes, me too. 

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

Everyone's free choice.

I decided with reckless abandon to copy the folders from the
MSFS 2020 Community folder to the MSFS 2024 Community folder

This means that while you wait, I and anyone else who dares to do the same can enjoy this:

Well, IF I would still have the MSFS2020 installed, I COULD copy it over, yes. But I do not have MSFS2020 installed anymore, so no copying over possible...

I'm still relying on the FS20 to MSFS 2024 workaround for the PMDG DC-6. While it's functional, it's disappointing that the long-promised native update has yet to materialize. This is especially frustrating given the historical lack of support for the numerous issues it had in FS2020, which PMDG often seemed to dismiss. For these reasons, I've come to think of their DC-6 as 'Cinderella', a capable aircraft perpetually neglected by its devs.

Took the same approach, but can't see it in the aircraft menu when setting up a flight in MSFS 2024.

Did you tweak anything in 2024, or did you find it appearing as a subset/Livery 

of another aircraft? [I have had that happen]

 There is always this workaround:

It is a video, but it also has detailed written instructions.

 I just search the aircraft for "dc":

I am aware of those workarounds and they do work, but they are a pain in the ... and with some of the installers (e.g. Aerosoft One) you then have to be super careful not to mess things up.
