    It's been so long in coming , and I was so dismayed that it was released for X-Plane first, that I deleted it from my shopping list. I had totally forgotten about it until this thread appeared. I'm not even sure that I would get it now actually.

    Excellent news! waiting so long for this version, having the X-plane variant I'm sure is going to be a blast.

    Been waiting for this news for a long time.

    What a quartet that will be when you add:

    The A2A 377, L049 and the C-47 by Manfred Jahn ans Jan Visser,
    One day without laughter, is one day without living.
    One day without Flight Simming, is one day lost living.

    While it may be good news the prices that PMDG charge plus the exchange rate between the $A and either the Euro or $US makes it almost prohibitive for people living in Australia and on a fixed income. I think I will be sticking with the JF/AH DC-6.

    I hope that it doesn't mean too much, but I was reading an old PC Pilot (Sep-Oct 2015) article last night about the FlightSimCon 2015, and "Robert Randazzo announced the PMDG DC-6 was now in open beta".
    "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there".

    This statement was related to the X-Plane version of the DC-6 which was released last year.

    Besides the joke entry for the DC-6 with the prices listed there is it little wonder I only own the PMDG JS-41. Probably a case of once bitten twice shy.

    Be careful not to mention this on the Avsim PMDG forum - or God forbid have a laugh at it. You wouldn't believe the anarchy that ensues!

    I made the mistake once of mentioning the real aircraft price that was listed for the 747, and you wouldn't believe the responses I got. I stay well away from that forum now.

    We ALL love flight & flight simulation- in whichever form best suits us.

    The beta is going splendidly, and she is a glorious gal in P3D. Already quite fond of her.

    Surely there's enough room in the sky for us all, regardless of which a/c or developer we are especially fond of.....?

    Tho I don't have the V3 PMDG 747, I do have a large fleet of their aircraft dating back to the FS9 model, this DC-6 is a whole different step from the PMDG usual pulling it into the 'Must Check this one out bag' idea is get a DC-6 must have savings money jar.
