It's a beauty. Unfortunately without a failure model. Robert Randazzo said he talked to Scott from A2A Simulations - let's hope the latter can develop an Accusim package for this one.

Looks great. Looking forward to it. I love the old classic liners from the golden age, However, I always feel out of place flying planes from the 50 & 60's in FSX with moder airports and scenery.

I just can't get in the mood. I guess thats why I always gravitate to modern aircraft. It just goes with the scenery better. I wish there was an addon that could change the airports an cites to match the period with a flip of a swicth. I know My Traffic has a feature simular to this, but Im talking about a global switch that would, for example make NY look like it did in the 50's, even change the animated cars to 50's era. I guess this would be a hugh project and be almost impossible, but cool non the less.

Fair point, but you have to remember that a lot of these old birds are still in service today across the country (and the world) giving tireless service in freight hauling operations. Even here in Charlotte up until a few years ago we used to regularly see DC-3s coming and going hauling freight for Sabre Air Cargo. Pretty cool to see DC-3s lining up on final mixed in with Airbus A-340s and the newest regional jets.

I've been looking forward to something like this for a very long time. Now we don't have to be stuck with semi-pro FS9 ports (MAAM and Uiver) or Aeroplane Heaven's "Jokes of Flight" series anymore. I'm very glad to see old prop liners getting PMDG treatment. Can't wait. Now A2A, how'bout a DC-3 ? (hint hint wink )

Cheers

Nico

PMDG build beautiful models. I wonder if they'd ever consider making a B-29?
