For me as well Tim, time to get a SSD, and do a complete re-install of Windows 7 and FSX!!
You think we could apply for beta, we know a bit about the DC2....

Jan,

Hi matey, I'm calling you on a twice per week basis, but only get your voicemail.
I'm working in Amsterdam now, would like to come over for a beer, if that's OK.

Best, Rob

I've sent you a PM.

A very beautiful model, but a bit too difficult for me to fly to justify the purchase....
 
I think I'm reading faaaaaaaar to deep into this, but does it look like we might one day see a DC2/3/4/7 also?,

"the first of our upcoming PMDG Classics series of products. The first product in this line will be the Douglas DC-6."

Pretty much the same feeling with me Huub. I have the JF/AH DC-6 and feel that is enough of a handful for me. PMDG are way over priced for my liking.

One could ponder about the fact that the current FSX DC-2 model is already too much nearing PMDG quality for PMDG to warrant a new project like that. I think the same goes for the freeware DC-3 model ( provided that an authentic vintage VC of the same quality as the external model will be added, which is likely to happen ). And wouldn't you think that the DC-4 and -7 are too much related to the DC-6 for PMDG to take any of these as a new classic project ? Although they stem from the same family, the're very different to eachother. I have a hunch that the next PMDG 'Classic' project might well be equipped with kerosene burners rather than recip engines for propulsion. I haste to say that i'd love to see PMDG stay with the latter for their 'Classic - In between' projects. It might well very much depend on the success of the forthcoming DC-6...

That's only in light of my 2cents, of course.

cheers,
jan

That's probabely because you don't have any of the PMDG airliners in your hangar, Pat ?...

PMDG is in a league of its own. Can't be compared with anything else regarding airliners ( Ok, A2A B377, surely ). Yes, pricing is in a league of its own too but that's only fair if you ask me. All their offerings are worth every penny.

The JF DC-6 is lovely, re JF classic airliners the VC is one of their best. I would've been satisfied with it for a long time to come. But when i read the annoucement of PMDG doing a DC-6 ( almost two years ago now.... ) it was very fortunate that i happend to be buckled up at that moment otherwise i would've fell right out of my pilot seat ! A dedicated vintage propliner aficionado's dream come true !

I'm willing to pay any price they'll ask. I know it's going to be worth every penny and more.

But, hey, that's only me. ;)

cheers,
jan

I'm with you too, Jan! And I couldn't agree more! :applause:

The PMDG 737 and 777 are both wonderful addons and worth every cent. Given the fact that the DC-6 in one of my all-time favorites it's hard to curb my excitement :D

Greetings

Actually Jan I have the Jetstream 41. I purchased that when I was still working but now that my only income is from an aged pension I need to watch my pennies. While I live on my own I still have to justify spending $60 to $80 on a FS aircraft. Prior to retiring I had no problems buying FS stuff. I love what ORBX is producing but need to be fussy as to what I buy.

Finally anything I purchase the manufacturer must gaurantee it is supported in P3D.

Ok! So you must know about the PMDG quality, right ?.. :smile:

The J41 also proves that not all PMDG products are priced in the $60-$90 region. Like the J41 the DC-6 is also outside of the common PMDG contemporary jet airliner offerings so the pricing might well indicate that too. It's all a matter of what tickles your fancy, isn't it. It seems that atleast half of the flightsimming world has been waiting for the PMDG 777 while the other half probabely couldn't care less (including me...)

Fully understand of course !

I really hope PMDG will come to their senses and steer away from their current non supporting stance towards P3D. So for the moment you can keep your money in your pocket, Pat. Or... you must belong to the ever so fanatic propliner lover camp, like me... :smile:

Cheers,
Jan
