I had the same in the Majestic Q400.

setting COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=1 under [Graphics] in prepar3d.cfg seemed to help.

I second your question, seeing you have some european holiday airports as a special package does hopefully not mean that you are not going to provide a pack for whole of europe!

I'd be happy to buy a pack for complete europe, the summer destinations only is a bit to small for me to invest.

I asked about the next releases on their facebook page and South America is next and then Europe. 🙂

I'm sure I will probably like whatever they do (I will for sure like a new NG and a Max). But now that Boeing is buddying up with Embraer, I would love to see the E-series, or even an ERJ from PMDG.

The same goes for the P3D/FSX version.

I was thinking that if the developers are tired of mid to long range Boeing airliners, still want to create something modern, and Airbus is absolutely not going to happen, how about Embraer 170-175-190-195? I haven't seen any mention of any developers working on that, and the Feelthere versions are starting to age a bit? Here in Europe they seem to be increasingly popular on short hauls, replacing both Fokkers, Dash-8s and even 737s on low volume routes. 

From what I have heard some of the guys behind the TFDi 717 is working on a E-jet.

Or maybe a DC-7 expansion? :D 

But yeah a 10-tank expansion would be nice.

The bubble sextant is happily working in P3Dv4. :)

Since the weather ship gauge is also XML based I am guessing it will work fine in v4 also.

LORAN could be done too and the stations added. I have made that in my freeware "Weather ships Gauge" that can be downloaded in the A2A Stratocruiser and Constellation forums. I will see if I can make a version for the DC-6B, if there is interest from the Community.

Please do. :)

The high and the mighty was a DC-4.

I see in the manual they mention a 10-tank setup and a 8-tank setup. I guess you get a few more NM with the 10-tanks.

Hey Kyle,

I did what you suggested, and still no flames on the exhaust. I even uninstalled, and reinstalled it again.  I looks into both DC-6a and DC-6B folders and discovered that in the texture.common folder, only the DC6-B has the engine Flames. dds in it.  The DC-6A only has 5 files in it. the DC-6B has 30. 

But the textures has a texture.cfg file that contains this.

fallback.4=..\texture.common
fallback.5=..\..\PMDG DC-6B\texture.common
That means it will look first in the A common folder and if it can't find it there it will check in the B common folder. :)

I remember years ago in DC-6 Basic First Officer new hire school our instructor on power plants drove the point home quite well as to the difference between the DC-6 and the DC-7.

"Well, the best way to tell the difference between a DC-6 and a DC-7 when they're taxiing on the ground at a distance is if the plane is being followed by fire trucks it's  probably a DC-7."

The DC-7 had what was, at least at that time, the most powerful and complicated propeller engine in history. It had an engine power optimizer lacking on the DC-6 which allowed it to operate economically at much higher altitudes. The engine section that permitted this increase in altitude was called the "Power Recovery Turbine or "PRT".

It had the unfortunate habit of "melting down" and catching fire with not uncommon regularity...............very expensive  to repair!

This is one of the reasons that the DC-6 flew for three or four years longer with my airline than the DC-7.

I have heard stories about how people living below the final approach path at Oslo knew the arrival times for the SAS DC-7's by heart so they knew when to collect their clothes hanging outside so they wouldn't get oil stains from the DC-7 engines. 

You have presets for cold and dark, ready for start and ready for taxi.

It's working in v4, the site is not updated yet. So feel free to buy it now and enjoy it in v4. :)

they have said they intend to do it, but no timeline has ever been given.

Norwegian has LED strobes on their newer 737-800 and are retrofitting older with them also I believe.

The old 747 had a model only expansion of the 747-8.

From what I have heard they haven't been the easiest bunch to deal with during the process.

Hopefully they get their act together I also have a few Carenado aircraft bought over there. Needless to say I won't buy anything there anymore.

"The vast majority is still non Scimitars, even in USA"

 

Not to burst your bubble, but in those pictures there are as many non scimitar 737's as there are 737's with them. ;)

The horse is starting to look a little dead. Enjoy what we already have, or is about to get if you are using v4. Hopefully PMDG will deliver so you finally can get a bit of sleep knowing you will save a few percent of virtual fuel.

It's usually the same here, I get it about a day after the first mention of it here on the forum. I am located in Norway.

There is no harm in people posting these requests really, even if it doesn't matter in PMDG's plans, and maybe we don't need a million different posts. But if they annoy you, simply ignore it and don't read the post, it's that simple.

A relative small sample at Denver doesn't cover the whole 737 fleet in the USA, not even United's.

The vast majority is still non Scimitars, even in USA. I hope we get them, but PMDG hasn't announced anything.

The NGX does not have scimitars currently. And it's not know if they are planned or not.

Also I don't see how it's unrealistic to not have them. The majority of NG's don't have them even if they are being rolled out in huge numbers.

Read the post above yours and the topic it's linking to. That's all the news you need, and all the news you are getting.

The OC will handle this for you automatically if you run it prior to uninstalling the old version, and then again after installing the new one. Doing it your way is not advised because there are sometimes changes to the aircraft.cfg file that you'd be overwriting with an old version.

Mine didn't this time. Is opening the OC enough or do I have to click into the specific aircraft in the OC for it to do this?
