Jack Sawyer Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 P3Dv4 - Orbx Global, Vector, Trees, SA L/C, Chase Plane, no weather, PMDG DC-6. First, no crazy stuff. I would like to take this time to give a very public, and heartfelt show of gratitude to a gentleman named Mark who lives near Stanstead in the U.K. He spends a lot of time at PMDG's site and with Kyle's help bought this plane for me. It was a total surprise and I was just astounded by it. I have never felt so blessed and honored, and quite frankly humbled. My wife cried when I read his post, he actually bought this for me as a surprise. I am deeply grateful to Mark and the people at PMDG. This is one very fine piece of work by the fellows at PMDG. It's complicated and definitely study level so I'll have a lot to keep me busy in learning her. DAL flew this five years before I was born and I wish I had a chance to fly on one. I don't know if anyone still flys them. Will have to research. Anyway, I set the plane at an airport in Peru, let the FO do all the work and just took her up for a test flight. I'm amazed by it. And by the beauty of this new Land Class. Orbx did an amazing job here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful plane. Trying to get Kyle to make me and Air Tanker Livery for fire suppression I now have all their products and I have to say this is stunning. This plane harkens back to the old days. Where you had no avionics, had to fly VOR to VOR and ADF, know the plane intimately in order to keep the engines from getting damaged. I imagine those guys had a lot of training on these birds. It sure would be a handful to fly without the AFE but with time and practice I know I can do it. I hope you get your fire suppression plane, it would be neat.

It was interesting to see what p3dv4 looks like. I was not impressed. Thank you Geezer, I'm sorry you feel that way. Some people have posted much better shots than these as I was just testing and my graphics sliders weren't set to max. I figure that since it hasn't been out long there's a lot of third party add-ons that will make it look like 3.4. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Geezer Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It all looked too clean and simple without feeling but let's wait a year and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradB Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Maybe you can do some beta testing for PDMG , you are extremely qualified Jack . They might have one condition tho : No Inverting the AC . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John That would be fun John but I wouldn't have the time and besides, I like going inverted. I mean, if the original 707 pilot could do it in real life why not me? But I don't have any intentions of making this plane go inverted, but you never know because you how I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Great news Jack, if anyone deserves this it is you. Great set of shots too, now all you have to do is get somebody to do a commemorative livery for you which should have a bunch of sour grapes on it somewhere.555 I will look forwards to some of your adventures in your plane and maybe a cartoon or two!

MarkDF Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm loving the screenshots, although I'm now thinking I might have to think about also grabbing openLC SA myself - coupled with v4 it really does provide a stunning backdrop to your screenshots. I'm really glad you're getting enjoyment out of the plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Martyn my friend. Sour grapes. Gee, I wonder why you say that? I like my grapes dark red for my Italian merlot. Yes, a comic, need to work on one.
