PMDG hat ein weiteres Update für die DC-6 im Microsoft Flight Simulator veröffentlicht. Neben kleineren Fixes soll auch die Anbindung externer Hardware einfacher werden, verspricht Robert Randazzo in der Update-Ankündigung. Außerdem haben man an den Audio-Dateien des virtuellen Flight Engineers geschraubt, am Gleichstrom-System gebastelt und noch optische Verbesserungen vorgenommen, so Randazzo. Doch für viele Leser:innen ist der letzte Satz vielleicht viel wichtiger: “Wir beginnen jetzt, die Enthüllung zum nächsten MSFS-Release zu planen”, schreibt Randazzo.
