    Can't wait for it, but it's good that the DC-6 comes next week due to my final exams I have to write this and next weeks Jeansy could you do a Red Bull repaint please if there isn't one in the release?

    Yeah she a tumour removed from her groin

    I prefereed the other option that was $89 which was to put her down she had a good run for 14yrs

    Lets say i slept on the lounge the past 3 nights while the wife had the bed

    Tough decision, mate... Always this damn cancer! 14 years certainly not bad for a dog's life but you do have a good chance now he/she might be with you for a couple more. I wish you and your dog all the best with that !


    Cheers,

    I'm ashamed to admit that I want this for P3D despite already having it for X-Plane.

    That's peanuts compared to me buying XPlane 10 just for the PMDG DC-6 and then deciding not to buy the XP DC-6 afterall... ( i just can't feel happy with XPlane.. )

    But why feel ashamed ??.... A classic, iconic propliner done by PMDG is something very much out of the ordinairy, isn't it. Icing on the cake for a dedicated propliner fan ( i guess because i don't have it yet... ;-)

    Btw, are you happy with it in XPlane ?...

    Cheers,
    Jan

    Yeah I love it in X-Plane, I just don't love how unstable X-Plane is. What I mean by that is the developers are constantlt tweaking stuff, sometimes it makes things better, sometimes worse. The DC6 flies ok but XP11 changed a lot of core flight model stuff so now it has way too much power and cruises a good 50kts faster than it should because they tweaked the drag model. This would all be ok if that's where they planned on leaving things but no, 11.1 is planned for this summer with even more Flight model tweaks, so after developers just spent time getting their aircraft to v11, they can potentially be broken again by 11.1.

  12. #12
    Yes, that sounds pretty discouraging. The risk involved with something that's still in constant development. I suppose PMDG won't be happy with that sort of thing neither...

    Must say i was totally blown away by the nightlighting of XPlane10 (external i mean) but otherwise there's so much that i'm used to with FSX that i miss in XPlane. Now that we've got the glorious P3Dv4 i might never checkout XPlane again. Nightflying is nice for a change but dayflying is what i do mostly. ;-)

    Thanks for your XPlane XPlanation so to speak. Now i'm really glad i didn't buy the XP DC-6 afterall. Been waiting for the FSX (now P3Dv4 of course) version all these years with great anticipation. Can't believe it finally might well be happening next week !

    cheers,
    jan

    I've never owned a PMDG aircraft . Love the DC-6 . Anyone have a rough estimate what PMDG might charge for this beauty ? This version would certainly be nice :

    I have been using the JF DC-6 with V4 no problems, but an official update would be very nice.

    I think I paid about 70 or 75 for the X-Plane version.

    Yes, the price for the XPlane version stands at $69.99 atm. But givin the fact that the XPlane version is much more tailored to system programming compared to the FSX/P3D version ( as stated by PMDG and the specific reason why it was initially released for XPlane ) one could expect a lower price for the FSX/P3D version. ( just guessing.. )

    PMDG products are quite expensive but Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Rolls Royce are expensive too and if PMDG would make real cars instead of virtual aeroplanes they'd fit in perfectly. And what's more, who could've ever imagined PMDG, creator of contemporary airliners only, would take a shot at a vintage propliner ?...

    We, propliner aficionados, can call ourselves extremely lucky. One could easily call the JF DC-6 one of their best propliner models if not THE best, i have enjoyed flying it for quite some time, but with a DC-6 model done by PMDG we have unmistakably won the lottery.

    Let's hope we can finally cash in this week...

    cheers,
