I completely forgot to talk in detail about the virtual engineer, he can make your life so much more simple, checking and doing everything, and thanks to him you can start enjoying the plane without knowing all the ins and outs! Alright, remember if you live on planet Earth please add a like to the video and if you like news, previews, reviews and flights for MSFS on Xbox, hit the subscribe button 👨✈👌
If you have Realistic Engine Start active, the AFE sets it up realistic ( During Before Start Checklist ). If you have it off he'll set it up the easy way. Pretty neat.
Well it's 2 completely different planes. This one is pure vintage with all that comes with it and the other one is the most advanced modern airliner that will be available (hoping there's no performance issue with the 737).
Thank you for the video. It's great to see a PMDG plane working so well on Xbox, even though it isn't worth the price of a brand new full-priced game in my opinion. Also, shame about the liveries missing.
I'm an xboxer and this plane by far is the best flying aeroplane I've had so far...it is beautiful to look at and the flying is unbelievable but I'm still waiting on the PMDG 737 SERIES❤️💯
Daronne I’m on series x as well, I’m waiting for the 737 as well but do you think I should get this for the $60 price tag, I’m just using a controller for the sim, what are your thoughts
@@chuck176 same here bud but I'm kind of skeptical because Microsoft is still putting limits on the 3rd party guys and it's kind of throwing them off...I've seen it with my DC6...but I'm definitely buying the 737 man for sure it'll be worth it I'm guessing after 2 updates,🤔😃
I highly agree with you on the quality of the textures, PMDG needs to update some of the lower quality textures on the DC-6; as well as, the blocky edges on the door you pointed out. It's a great plane no doubt, but it would be even better with a texture and model update.
Unfortunately im satisfied with how it looks Xbox Series S. Compared to some other planes it looks way better unfortunately, even with all the blocky textures. But as long as its study level and cockpit looks good im happy. This looks better than DC3 on Xbox. Cockpit looks way better than a310 cockpit too. Hope one day all planes are fully optimized to look atleast as good as DC6 or better. A310 lowered my standards on graphics it looked so bad on xbox 😂.
@@chuck176 yea very easily. Only problem is the efb is kinda wonkie with controller and doesnt funtion fully without mouse. But its still funtional enough with controller cursor. Make sure to button map " water rudder " to activate reverse on landings easy. And the windows cant be slide open fully unless using a mouse.
I own almost 300 Xbox planes off Marketplace. The is #1. Easily!!!! Up until last week, the title belonged to the vision jet. Not anymore...this thing is as study level as you can get! Words can't describe the depth and beauty of the bird. #... no comparison.
Another problem is i cant get localizer or approach mode to work with gyro pilot, without using gns 430. I havent tried it with gns 430 yet. Thought i should be able to capture the vor signal without using gps. All my settings are set to realistic too. Other than that, plane is stunning 😊.
Thank you for this review!! Awesome plane!! If I'm not mistaken, the checklists are in the pmdg webpage on a PDF, and with the RUclips videos they made i think is very complete
You sure all the fuse switches work? On Series S DC6 for me, the fuses that have to do with lighting dont function the way they should. I switch all lighting fuse switches off and the only one that works is for the landing light. All other lights stay on. Then when i switch the landing lights fuse switch back on, the land landing lights are still off. So dont trip the landing lights or else you lose them. All other fuse switches seem to work.
Hello Carlos, no you need to buy planes also on PC like on Xbox but people have the ability to develop and share their project for free on PC, usually on flightsim.to website. Some of the freeware are really good, but it's a minority. Maybe this video will help : ruclips.net/video/vgTlpPvJYg4/видео.htmlsi=TabGGhec1duTKNYB
Well I'm sure PMDG customer service will help you a lot better but did you check your control profile? Did you remove the gust lock? What device are you using?

I’ve racked up like 10 hours already in this bird and it’s unreal, such a smooth flying beautiful plane
She's not fast but what a pleasure to fly!
@@CaptainKenobi I’m really thinking about getting this for series x! Do you think I should get it or wait for the 737?

Happy to help!

Yes me too 😍💯
Agreed! I have nearly 300 xbox planes. This takes the championship hands down!

@@chuck176 yes get it Chuck
It is definitely on my wish list, but at first I m going to wait for and buy the 737 from pmdg. I hope it will be the 738 variant and come soon.
Oh yeah I'm even more exciting by the 737 now!
The dc6 is better than the 737.

@@liquidsnake1123 I’m really thinking of getting it can you fly it with the controller

@@chuck176 make sure you delete cache in the options menu too. Or else plane might not work right at all.

Until the 737 release? 😃 Really hope it will be on the same level!

No I obviously didn't tried all of them 😅 You could report this to pmdg ;)
@@CaptainKenobi 😆 right ill have to do that.
Love the airplane but is anyone else having problems with the gyro pilot switch not always turning on? Its hit or miss for me
I had it a couple of times also for some reason it was working just a minute after. Will ask on their forum.

Well I'm sure PMDG customer service will help you a lot better but did you check your control profile? Did you remove the gust lock? What device are you using?
