DC06

All what you need to know about the DC06 MonteCarlo production, but maybe never dared to ask.

Software versions of official production

  • v12r5: problem with L0PU bank, corrected in v12r6
  • v12r10
  • v13r3 : full compatible, uses latest core software

 

 

 

Some history about DC-6:

Still in use by the Flying Bulls, Salzburg, Austria

 From Wikipedia:

2006 marked the 60th anniversary since the introduction of the DC-6.

The Douglas DC-6 was considered to be the best in her class. The Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp engines were the most efficient around, the DC-6 was the first Douglas model to have a pressurized cabin.
It is interesting to notice that:

  • The DC-7 was the last of the Douglas propeller-powered transports.
  • The DC-8, powered by four jet turbine engines and capable of speeds of more than 600 mph, first flew on May 30, 1958.
