Conheça o avião
Douglas developed the DC-6 from wartime transport work into a long-range commercial competitor. Its four radial engines and pressurised cabin supported passenger and freight operations. Production ran from the 1940s into the late 1950s, with later careers extending into specialist cargo and firefighting work.
The flight engineer is a major part of the aircraft's cockpit organisation. PMDG's simulation makes that role accessible through its own interface while retaining period systems such as the Sperry autopilot. The manual explains how those responsibilities are divided in the virtual aircraft.

A cabin with a lounge and tray tables
The museum describes a rear Sky Lounge with six chairs and a cabin finished in walnut, blue and tan. It also records Delta’s first seat-back tray tables, replacing the earlier practice of balancing meal trays on pillows. These details describe Delta’s installation, not every DC-6 interior.
Development milestones
First flight: 15 February 1946
Developed from: Douglas DC-4
Learning a new transport through a language barrier
Fraser’s DC-6 conversion involved more than learning a new aircraft. Technical instruction in Rome had to cross a language barrier, and imperfect translation made the classroom experience memorable. Time away from training provided a more enjoyable introduction to the city, while the flight programme brought the crew closer to the work they would later undertake between Africa and Europe.
His account reaches a tense point during a decompression exercise, when mist, discomfort and misunderstood commands made the final training flight frightening. He recalls returning to land after the confusion. The story carries the humour and exaggeration of a much later reminiscence, so its detailed manoeuvres are not treated as independently established events. What remains clear is Fraser’s lasting affection for flying the DC-6 despite that difficult introduction.
Freight, cold weather and sandwiches on an Alaska working day
For the visiting writer, a DC-6 trip into northern Alaska was a special opportunity. For Captain Ken Zachary, first officer Joe Holland and their colleague in the flight engineer’s seat, it was a working day carrying food, machinery and other freight. Conversation in the cockpit accompanied the view across the Brooks Range on the way to Barrow.
On the ground, the pilots also helped with the cargo in bitter cold. Holland flew the next leg, and the day continued with more unloading and the practical search for something to eat. Sandwiches and fruit supplied an ordinary meal between demanding freight tasks. The return to Fairbanks ended a memorable outing for the observer, whose report shows how much of the crew’s job happened outside the cockpit as well as in it.
Keeping a familiar aircraft flying for another generation
After years flying the DC-6, Firth remained attached to the aircraft known as The Six. Its move from freight work into preservation involved sustained maintenance and a search for parts, with useful components traded and sourced across the remaining operator community. Keeping it presentable for public appearances added smaller tasks to the work of keeping it flying.
The restored British Eagle colours brought a particularly human response at Farnborough, where former airline staff saw a familiar aircraft again. Firth still enjoyed its flying qualities, but the interview gives equal space to the effort behind that pleasure. The aircraft’s survival depended on people finding parts, fixing faults and maintaining a connection with its earlier life. Future passenger trips were part of the ambition described, rather than an operation already demonstrated in the report.

PMDG DC-6B
Free + ProMSFS 2020MSFS 2024PMDG
Douglas developed the DC-6 from wartime transport work into a long-range commercial competitor. Its four radial engines and pressurised cabin supported passenger and freight operations. Production ran from the 1940s into the late 1950s, with later careers extending into specialist cargo and firefighting work.
This profile selects PMDG DC-6B for MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024.
Aerodynamic tabs assist the mechanically controlled yoke response. Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.
Pitch and roll trim tabs provide pressure-relief context; AP trim compensation is separately documented. Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is off.
Esta revisão específica ainda não está habilitada para instalação pública.
Controls and trim
The DC-6 uses cables and pulleys with aerodynamic spring-control tabs and separate pitch/roll trim tabs. Its Sperry A-12 installation uses electrical servos, a separate clutch and elevator-trim compensation. The cockpit’s manual-control and automatic-flight mechanisms therefore remain distinct systems.
The selected implementation
PMDG’s A/B choices share the documented cable/tab architecture and SperryA12 installation while retaining cargo/passenger configuration.
About the values
The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.
Master gain & control system
Master gain85%
A escala final de saída aplicada a tudo que o modelo produz, antes do teto do dispositivo.
Mais: tudo (mola, cargas, efeitos) fica mais forte junto.
Menos: tudo amacia junto.
Por que aqui: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
Forces
Spring strength74%
A força base de centragem que puxa o manche de volta ao centro. Todas as outras forças se empilham sobre ela. Baixa demais e o manche parece frouxo em voo normal; alta demais e ele briga com sua mão e mascara os sinais menores por cima.
Mais: uma centragem mais firme que resiste mais à mão.
Menos: um manche mais mole que depende só da carga aerodinâmica.
Por que aqui: Aerodynamic tabs assist the mechanically controlled yoke response. The baseline spring is 0.74. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 65 KIAS.
MSFS2020 cataloguePMDG DC-6 for MSFS - Pilot Operating Handbook(PDF)PMDG DC-6 for MSFS - Introduction (PDF)Spring deadband4%
Uma pequena zona neutra ao redor do centro onde a mola fica quieta, para que movimentos mínimos em repouso não trepidem. Mais larga é mais calma porém mais solta; mais estreita é mais precisa mas pode tremer no centro.
Mais: um centro mais calmo porém mais solto, com mais folga.
Menos: um centro mais apertado que pode tremer em repouso.
Por que aqui: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
Overall aerodynamic load80%
Uma escala mestra sobre as duas cargas sustentadas de eixo, aplicada antes do balanço independente delas. Os perfis normalmente a deixam quieta e ajustam as duas cargas de eixo.
Mais: os dois eixos carregam mais forte.
Menos: os dois eixos aliviam juntos.
Por que aqui: The aerodynamic-load gain is 0.8 with an indicated-speed reference of 170 KIAS. This supplies speed-dependent loading alongside the spring.
Airspeed blendingTrue
Ativa a janela de engate da mola em baixa velocidade (nós de início/pleno acima). Desligado, a mola é constante em todas as velocidades.
Por que aqui: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
Low-speed spring floor50%
Quanto da mola sobrevive parado, antes que a velocidade possa gerar força aerodinâmica. Um piso alto mantém o manche estacionado firme; um piso baixo dá a sensação solta, de cabos com folga, de um avião leve estacionado.
Mais: um manche mais firme estacionado e no táxi.
Menos: um manche mole estacionado que só desperta com velocidade.
Por que aqui: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
Spring engagement start8 kt
A velocidade em que a mola começa a subir do piso de baixa velocidade rumo à força plena: os comandos "ganhando vida" na corrida de decolagem.
Por que aqui: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
Spring engagement full65 kt
A velocidade em que a mola atinge força plena. Entre o início e este ponto, a centragem endurece progressivamente à medida que o fluxo de ar cresce sobre os comandos.
Por que aqui: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
Velocidade de ajuste de força170
A velocidade indicada em que a carga aerodinâmica atinge seu nível pleno de projeto. Ela ancora toda a curva de carga à faixa real de velocidades do avião: um 172 carrega por volta de 110 nós, um jato bem depois.
Mais: as cargas chegam mais tarde; o manche fica leve até mais velocidade.
Menos: as cargas chegam antes e o cruzeiro pesa mais.
Por que aqui: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Centre firmness vs speed15%
Quanto a própria centragem endurece com a velocidade, além das cargas de deflexão. Zero mantém a sensação de centro constante; mais faz o manche centrar mais duro em cruzeiro e mais solto no circuito.
Mais: um centro que endurece nitidamente com a velocidade.
Menos: uma sensação de centro constante em qualquer velocidade.
Por que aqui: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0.15. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 65 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 5.
Centre stiffening cap5
O limite superior do endurecimento de centro pela velocidade, para que voos muito rápidos não tensionem a mola sem freio.
Mais: mais endurecimento total permitido em alta velocidade.
Menos: o endurecimento corta antes.
Por que aqui: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
Aileron load80%
A carga sustentada de rolagem da deflexão dos ailerons e da velocidade, balanceada independentemente da arfagem. Junto com a carga do profundor define a razão de harmonia de comandos de que falam as resenhas.
Mais: esforços de rolagem mais pesados.
Menos: ailerons mais leves e vivos.
Por que aqui: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.8 and 1, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
Elevator load100%
A carga sustentada de arfagem da deflexão do profundor e da velocidade, balanceada independentemente da rolagem. É a alavanca principal por trás do peso de arfagem de um tipo. Não toca aileron, mola, compensador nem forças de buffet.
Mais: esforços sustentados de arfagem mais pesados em velocidade.
Menos: um profundor mais leve, com menos músculo para segurar.
Por que aqui: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
Max output force55%
Um teto sobre cada força estável de arfagem ou rolagem antes de chegar ao dispositivo, protegendo contra pancadas ou saturação do hardware em manobras fortes.
Mais: picos de força estável mais altos antes do corte.
Menos: um teto mais suave; manobras duras achatam antes.
Por que aqui: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
Trim
Trim relief (elevator)30%
Com que força o compensador de profundor alivia o esforço de arfagem mantido e desloca onde o manche assenta. Em 100 %, um avião bem compensado não precisa de pressão mantida: o fluxo de trabalho de compensar-a-carga do voo real.
Mais: o compensador tira mais esforço mantido; em 100 %, todo compensado o anula.
Menos: você segue segurando esforço mesmo compensado.
Por que aqui: Pitch and roll trim tabs provide pressure-relief context; AP trim compensation is separately documented. Pitch authority 0.3 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.12.
MSFS2020 cataloguePMDG DC-6 for MSFS - Pilot Operating Handbook(PDF)PMDG DC-6 for MSFS - Introduction (PDF)Trim relief (aileron)12%
O mesmo alívio para o compensador de rolagem. A maioria dos tipos de aviação geral não tem compensador de aileron real, então isto fica em zero; tipos com compensador de rolagem recebem um valor correspondente.
Mais: o compensador de rolagem tira mais esforço mantido.
Menos: o compensador de rolagem faz menos.
Por que aqui: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
Effect gains · Ground
Runway rumble40%
Vibração de rolagem no solo pela velocidade das rodas e tipo de superfície: asfalto, grama ou cascalho sob o trem.
Mais: uma textura de superfície mais forte no manche.
Menos: um táxi mais liso.
Por que aqui: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
Gear bumps25%
Solavancos curtos e discretos de juntas de dilatação, sulcos e superfície irregular, pontuando o ronco contínuo.
Mais: solavancos mais nítidos de juntas e sulcos.
Menos: detalhes de solo mais suaves.
Por que aqui: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
Effect gains · Airframe
Stall buffet35%
Sacudida da célula ao se aproximar do estol e enquanto o aviso soa: quão alto esta asa anuncia que está infeliz. Tipos de quebra seca recebem buffet modesto e deixam a buzina levar o aviso.
Mais: um tremor pré-estol mais forte.
Menos: uma asa mais discreta; a buzina leva o aviso.
Por que aqui: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
Mach buffet0%
Buffet transônico ao se aproximar do limite de Mach. Significativo para jatos perto de MMO, zero para pistões e turboélices que nunca chegam lá.
Mais: um buffet transônico mais forte perto do limite de Mach.
Menos: um voo mais liso em Mach alto.
Por que aqui: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
Flap buffet0%
Vibração de baixa frequência da célula com flapes estendidos no fluxo, na janela de velocidade em que eles realmente trabalham o ar.
Mais: um voo mais áspero com flapes trabalhando.
Menos: flapes de aproximação mais suaves.
Por que aqui: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
Gear buffet0%
Tamborilar da célula pelo trem retrátil pendurado na corrente de ar. Zero para tipos de trem fixo, onde a célula nunca muda de forma.
Mais: mais tamborilar com o trem embaixo.
Menos: um voo com trem embaixo mais limpo.
Por que aqui: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
Stick shaker50%
O zumbido dedicado do stick shaker de estol, disparado pelo próprio sistema de aviso do avião. Só tipos com shaker real recebem valor; o resto confia no buffet aerodinâmico e na buzina.
Mais: um shaker mais duro.
Menos: um shaker mais discreto.
Por que aqui: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag
Touchdown thump65%
O golpe único quando as rodas tocam a pista, escalado pela razão de descida: um pouso macio sussurra, uma chegada firme bate.
Mais: um golpe mais duro no toque.
Menos: chegadas mais suaves.
Por que aqui: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
Reverse rumble0%
Vibração na corrida enquanto o reverso ou as hélices em beta trabalham. Zero para tipos sem reverso.
Mais: uma corrida mais áspera sob reverso.
Menos: um reverso mais discreto.
Por que aqui: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
Engine rumble12%
Vibração contínua do grupo motopropulsor seguindo a rotação entre marcha lenta e potência máxima, o lembrete sempre presente de que algo queima combustível lá na frente.
Mais: mais motor no manche.
Menos: um motor mais discreto.
Por que aqui: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
Flap motion12%
Vibração contínua apenas enquanto o simulador informa as superfícies de flape realmente em movimento. Segue o movimento e as falhas reais do atuador, não um cronômetro estimado.
Mais: mais vibração com os flapes em movimento.
Menos: cursos de flape mais discretos.
Por que aqui: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
Autopilot follow
AP follow authority10%
Quanto os comandos do piloto automático podem mover fisicamente o manche. Mantido minúsculo no MSFS, onde um eixo movido pode ser lido de volta como entrada do piloto; zero desativa o seguimento por completo.
Mais: o piloto automático move seu manche visivelmente mais.
Menos: um seguimento quase imperceptível.
Por que aqui: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
