Just Flight DC-6B released

The scenery is NZSI , the scenery area is photo real over- lay,d onto it having ORBX fill in the gap's , works well but requires builds in both scenery,s the thing is was ideal to test a DC-6 in a valley .. oh boy going to love this when its done .. sorta your Southern H to the Carribean and its Island strips .

Before I head over to the JF support forums, has anybody been able to engage the prop reverse? Took a short hop after install and was surprised to get no reversers on landing, the Martin bar is there and moves when you pull the throttles past 0 but nothing happens.

Although I have bought/installed this, I have not looked at it yet. Was hoping the C-118 paint was included, but oh well. I hope it is released soon!

Thanks for the screens - very useful - i think i will pass on this one.

Exteriors are ok but that screenshot of the vc has helped me decide to wait for the 'other' DC-6, currently in development.

I have to concede I'm not the best screenshot taker in the business but the office works well for me and no sudden crash and burns as once the auto pilot is engaged there's time to adjust mixture and prop pitch.

Have they put glass in the windscreens and cabin windows - there seems to be no refections at all in the external screenshots.

Hi, it's KBVS by ORBX, Skagit regional airport.

I like the cockpit, complex yet still gives good frame rates.

At the risk of bad manners on my part, I mean more than usual, here is the same VC screeny put through a freeware digital editor to improve the shadow detail. Hope it helps.

We don't like the stock reflections. You get trees, grass and mountains at 12,000 feet... so we haveour own more subtle sky reflection in the glassware.
Cockpit is fully functional with W/A injection, fuel dump, autopilot integration with ILS and NAV, antiskid braking (automatic - no keystroke required) , individual engine fuel feed from correct tanks selection and a heck of a lot morefolks....

Looks fantastic!

I really like JF's products and this one will go in my hanger on payday!

Thanks JF for another fine model....
Well done!

Check your Aircraft CFG file in the airplane folders. Go to the [propeller] section and the entry line "prop_reverse_available". It should be =1 if not change the 0 to a 1 and it should be fine.
