Jack Sawyer Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Well, now I know why I uninstalled this plane. It's a cool plane if you like very old cockpits. They had a heck of a lot of mechanical levers back then, so I rely on the AI co-pilot. And I have never seen an aircraft that's so hostile to FSUIPC. I have to actually have one lever to control all four engines. I'm usually very good with FSUIPC but this plane will simply not allow four separate throttle and I have no idea why. So for all you guys who like the old ones here's some cool shots in an Oz livery in Orbx's Aus v2. Oops, mixture levers moved. Testing... I still can't get used to that terrain, it looks like a mesh problem but I was told this is normal. Right, you know what fo to next I actually persisted and flew back to land and after several go-arounds managed to land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingleaf Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Great shots indeed Jack. Glad y'all could land that old beast.I liked that Bridge "inspection" flight, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Is that the PMDG six? Certainly looks great - your prop trails are a different direction from the nose - was the ball in the center ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Tremendous shots Jack , I dunno tho about shot #5 ; the elevation's don't look right to me . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I still like prefer props of any kind over jets anyday Jack, I grew up with them in the 40s, so. Anyway great shots of the old girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly doesn't look like that with my vanilla Australia 2, must have something to do with YMML (which I don't have) not agreeing with the newer mesh? Anyhoo, fabulous shots, Jack, some of your best bridge work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M110A2 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Wow Jack, can you imagine actually pulling those kind of G's in a real DC-6 as in image 13. I love the government bridge, it's been a while since you've done any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, a lot of people like these old planes, not to patrol to them myself, I like the magic of electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even notice that and I wasn't even paying to the turn slip at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has and I had the need to do it, actually I was just testing the new install of the plane and wants it to be Oz and I chose Melbourne, and one thing led to another when I saw the bridge.

Stillwater Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Nice G test with that old bird, Jack you push her to the boundaries...! I think you did already manually turn off the Elevation Correction in the vector config tool. And I believe the "hole in the ground" near Tullamarine is normal.
