PMDG DC-6A From Myrtle Beach to Fayetteville

[@KelseyDogBlog]

This is nostalgic. I used to fly A-10s out of Myrtle Beach AFB. The apron area from where you launched is where the 353rd, 354th, and 355th Fighter Squadrons were parked. The large concrete pad to the left of the taxiway, near the approach end of Runway 18, which you taxied past, was the "last chance check" area. This is where ground crew would pull the safety pins from weapons and give the exterior of each aircraft a final visual inspection prior to takeoff.

[@Renoroadkill]

A-10, my favorite military plane.

[@jfavignano]

Very cool! What an incredible airplane to fly

[@mrmisterno1]

Fantastic. Have you flown the A-10 in DCS?

[@noahater5785]

@@Renoroadkill Same!

[@lorenjackson8961]

When were you stationed in Myrtle Beach? I spent 6 years in Myrtle from 1984 till 1990. I worked in Line-D for Falcon CMU in the bomb dump. We operated out of the little brick building out by the engine test cell. I had a close friend and neighbor off base in my condo building that also flew for Falcon. He crashed his A-10 and died tragically though.

[@patrickhurley8]

I lived 30 seconds from that airport and my girlfriend's family lives in Fayetteville. This is awesome.

[@patrickhurley8]

If you would have looked more left on departure you would have been able to see my house

[@Johnnyouknow]

My family is originally from fayettenam lol, dad was airforce, uncles in the 82nd.

[@smittty7343]

I was stationed at Fort Bragg. Just left a few months ago. I don’t miss Fayetteville.

[@10R8OH]

@@smittty7343 AIRBORNE!! 😂 I was in 3-505 many years ago

[@trainfan998]

Funny, I was gonna say the same thing about me living near Myrtle Beach.

[@Blaze_1961]

I had the opportunity to fly in a DC-7 once as a younger child. It was stripped down and used as a cargo plane my uncle was the pilot and he and my father bought the plane in an attempt to start a cargo transport company. They only made one trip flying cattle to Hawaii I didn't go on that trip but I did help load the cattle and that was quite an experience.

[@ProGamerDudepgd]

taking off from my home town. I've taken off from that airport so many times

[@patrickhurley8]

imma follow cause I lived in Myrtle myself.

[@YohamYT]

Pro? Gah damn, never expected to see you here.

[@jetguy8916]

I wish I lived in myrtle beach.

[@ransomransom3813]

wait u live in mb😳 that’s so cool

[@ConnorJohnson]

It’s so cool to see you take off from Myrtle Beach and see how crazy accurate the details are down below with the buildings and landscape. So neat!

[@Jared_Wignall]

This is really cool to see Jeff. Never would have thought I’d enjoy watching flight simulators as much as I have with your content. Keep up the great work!

[@Zaltic]

I'll admit, modern planes are gorgeous, but something about the classics are just incredible!

[@LevelFlight]

The DC-6 is such a majestic old bird, real classic. Can only imagine what it was like to cross the Atlantic back in the day on a Pan Am DC-6. Love how they modeled the brake sounds too, sounds the same as the Boeing B-29 brakes do

[@falcony100]

Pmdg are damn serious on their products.

[@brendanholland121]

At 13:25 you said that you would not engage takeoff wet because it’s not raining. Takeoff wet and dry does not mean weather. If you watch the PMDG videos the guy mentions that you would use takeoff wet for when your airplane is heavier than 91,000lbs. Basically there’s some sort of water pump system in the engines that allows the engines to have more power during takeoff. I love your videos though! I can’t wait to see your videos for the PMDG 737!

[@grandepho1]

Quick check of my logbook….passed my FO check ride on this airplane back in the summer of 1999! Used to look up old photographs to relive the ol’ Doug memories. Amazing now to re-live them again thanks to videos like this.

[@DoomedSouls43]

Dude, I live by fayettville. And love the the interior in that plane, I must say

[@jinxyblue6873]

I definitely love the old classic aircraft, I live about 15mins away from a small airport with one of these it's a beautiful plane

[@kenmweha8028]

I really loved the way the engines started,it was like a real plane, cool!

[@chrisgill7824]

It's PMDG.... that's what they do. They are excellent at making High fidelity aircraft.

[@PhoeFireaga]

21:40 looks like a cloud person standing up waving hello. What an awesome airplane, and smooth landing!

[@Renoroadkill]

When I flew in Alaska I actually got several rides in the DC-6. This was a cool rendition of my past.

[@noahsglass8846]

at 17:00, the resort i stay at i was just there sunday, i love sitting there and watching the planes takeoff. I’m from Fayetteville area and it’s cool your flying that route. MYR always gets cool military aircraft and Boeing brings up some 787s to test there. I saw a LOT airlines 787-9 test flight friday at MYR

[@andrewjohnson4144]

Love seeing all the older planes, Jeff!

[@jaredcoleman5376]

SO TRUE this spring has been soooo windy in the southeast im in georgia its been crazy the past 6 weeks

I used to fly that flight sim many moons ago. Anyway, I am a fan and I am always happy to see you youngens being good entertainters. By the way, I might not be sober,

What a historical plane! So cool 😎

[@Soldrynn]

Was hoping that you'd mess with this old metal turd! I absolutely love this thing. Thanks for the amazing Flight Sim content recently! :)

[@jaymac7203]

There's something about the old DC planes I love them 😍

[@falcony100]

Amazing video,,,, those external views are priceless. This sim is full joy.

[@GulfCoastTim]

Nice flight video here, and good view of the beach after takeoff. Also i really like the landing playbacks. I mostly fly newer more modern aircraft but...you have me wanting to fly this DC6. I can definitely see the fun in flying old skool airplanes. With me also being a fan of the 80s era jet airliners, such as 727, L1011, DC9, things like that, I cant wait to see some of those come to msfs2020. That md80 will be a good addition.

[@staralliance185]

Yes! Keep the flight sim up sir✊🏾

[@Tom-kw6km]

Very cool Jeff. My grandfather work on the DC-6 production line in my home town! I've got to get back into MSF.

[@geevee338]

I saw Fayetteville and immediately thought Arkansas. But this is still a great video

[@captainicelander3898]

Please do more DC6 vids man. I have little over 500 hours in it myself, in the sim of course. But you always learn something new from good ol Jeff. Thanks for the content bud and take care

Bout an hour and some change outside of my hometown Charleston. I hope someone makes a scenery for KCHS soon. P.s. dry and wet takeoff depends on your gross weight. Great video either way Jeff!

[@jfavignano]

Ah yes because of the alcohol for the assisted takeoff right? That makes more sense haha

Live here in Charleston too and I’m waiting for a scenery for us too. Airport + AFB + Boeing would be something

[@jacobo8325]

Beautiful bird

[@Texanator1987]

Nice vid love the DC6. I like how it’s presented tutorial style. By the way, “pilotage” is the term for using ground references for navigation. “Dead reckoning” is pointing towards a prescribed heading and hoping you hit your mark. That’s what Lindbergh used to cross the Atlantic.

[@jfavignano]

yep I did both in this video, did the same for my PPL

[@JDubbsadventure]

You should come to roanoke va I believe it’s KROA love the videos keep it up!!!

That’s so crazy how the live radar works in that game the same storm that hit fayetteville today hit us too and it was a pretty bad storm

[@GumperVanLier]

Great video and a fun watch. I have this plane but I have more difficulty flying it as I can't get around the cockpit like you can. Do you have a head unit of some kind that turns with your head? I have to use the preset views and rotate around. I like how you use the split screen so we can see what you are doing. Again, great video.

[@mikebruegger8654]

Great to see more MSFS content....

[@Kabluey2011]

Just to let you know, takeoff dry or wet is not runway condition. It's based off weight. Anything over 86k and you need take off wet. To give the plane the needed lift to fly. Take off wet puts water in the cylinders to give them more thrust. PMDG has a tutorial about the system on their yt channel for it

[@jfavignano]

Gotcha

[@Kabluey2011]

@@jfavignano I was super confused about it at first. It wasn't until after I watched the tutorial series by pmdg did I know what it was actually for. Great content though. Love the video as always

[@jfavignano]

@@Kabluey2011 yeah, it makes sense with the alcohol system on board. I was thinking more like wet or dry runway conditions

If that was real life you would have flown right by my sister house before the landing, I’m always up around Fayetteville airport. That’s Pretty damn cool

[@Robocline]

This is the first payware I bought for MSFS. I qualified as a DC-6 Captain with Delta Virtual years ago and have always loved flying them ever since. Now if someone would make a proper L1011 I’ll be a very satisfied customer. It’s too bad the PMDG 737 will be the newer models though. I’d love a good 737-200 model.

[@michaelpowell3980]

I notice you have 4 throttles - how did you set that up? what are the two outer most lever set as? The Thrustmaster website shows two throttles and a lever, and says they're 'swappable', so did you buy have to buy two sets and physically reconfigure them yourself?

[@jfavignano]

Yes I have two throttle quadrants and the left is spoilers eng 1 and 2 and the right one is 3 and 4 and flaps. You plug them Both in and there is a switch on the front you select to choose eng 1-2 or eng 1-3 so it works out of the box. If you want to mount them to the desk you need a desk clamp and the smaller desk clamp can mount two together. The bigger desk mount you can hard mount them to which ai plan to do.
