PMDG DC-6 this friday

[ST0RM]

Hoping to see some Air Tanker liveries come out for this as well.

Interesting info on the throttle movement speed. On takeoff, I've been noticing my #1 engine is 2 knobs higher than the rest. I'm assuming for P-Factor assistance?

Agreed. I think Im going to start on this TBM Inc DC-6 N90739. It began life for American Airlines "Flagship Georgia" Then was used by the Monkees for touring and then ended up as an airtanker for TBM until it met the scrapper.

Now....if we can just get the Aeroplane Heaven C-47/DC-3 and Flight Replicas DC-4/C-54 released for MSFS...we'll be in classic prop liner heaven!

I could not agree more. I'd even add a Connie in the mix, lol. C'mon A2A!!!

Seeing the liveries like the Transavia, The Flying Dutchman, and others blew it for me.

I was no longer able to resist the itch to hit that "Purchase" button.

Purchased last night, and am now working my way through the videos. Can't wait to bring these radials to life and hear them purrr..

A quick question.
Does the plane have minor random failures as a feature?

On a recent flight I noticed that the cylinder head temp for number 3 was low and closed the cowl flaps another notch. The temperature didn't go up. When I went to check the engine visually the cowl flaps where stuck open in their take off configuration and wouldn't close. Is this a bug with the auto flight engineer or did I run into a feature I didn't know about?
Engine damage was turned off at the time.

Well, I don't know if a random fault system is being modeled, but on a recent flight I lowered my flaps lever and although I heard the hydraulic noise of the hydraulics the flaps did not go down and the flaps indicator marked position 0

I have noticed the lack of some textures at cargo plane. The same with default and custom liveries. Do anybody have this issue?

Yes- the pink is noted for a fix (post Asobo SU5 Hotfix).

Military versions.....

Yep...I saw those too. I suspect more military variants will come out. So far, I have also seen a Brazilian AF version on .to as well.

Kent

Hey Kent...I'm very confident that you'll be seeing another Navy variant .....soon®.

 

[ColoKent]

Awesome! Looking forward to it....
