1) SIGN YOUR POSTS. Since 1997, we have asked users to sign their real name, first and last, to all posts in the PMDG forum. We do this in order to keep conversations personal and familiar. You took the time to be here, we want to get to know you. This is one of the few rigid rules that we enforce regularly. We do so because we feel that forums in which users must engage one another personally are generally warmer, more collegial and friendly. Posts that are unsigned will be quietly removed without comment by the moderators, so to make your life easy- we recommend enabling your forum signature so that you never need to remember. Do this by clicking the username pull-down at the top right, then selecting "User Settings." You will find the signature editor on the ACCOUNT tab, about half way down the page. Look for "Edit Post Signature." Be sure to click the "Show Signatures" box.
2) BE NICE. We are all simmers here and no matter our differences of opinion, we share a common love of aviation, computing and simulation. Treat everyone else in the forum with respect even when you disagree. If someone frustrates you, walk away from the conversation or ask for a moderator to get involved. Speaking of Moderators, they prefer not to be treated as "The Thought Police" but if any behavior infringes on the enjoyment of another user or is otherwise considered to be unacceptable in the moderator's judgment, it will be addressed in keeping with our view of ensuring that this forum remains a healthy environment for all simmers.
3) BE LAWFUL: Any behavior that infringes upon the law, such as discussion or solicitation of piracy, threats, intimidation or abuse will be handled unsympathetically by the moderators. Threats and intimidation may, at the moderator's discretion, be provided to law enforcement for handling.
4) BE FACTUAL: When you post, always be factual. Moderators will remove posts that are determined not to be factually accurate.
5) RESPECT COPYRIGHTS: Posting of copyrighted material such as flight manuals owned by Boeing or various airlines is not allowed in this forum. If you have questions related to copyrighted material, please contact a forum moderator for clarification.
6) RESPECT PMDG: We love to hear what you like about our products. We also like to hear what you think can be improved, or what isn't working. Please do tell us and we will always treat your feedback with value. Just be sure to treat the team respectfully, as they do put a significant amount of effort into building and maintaining these great simulation products for you.
7) RESPECT PMDG DEVELOPERS: All of the developers will spend some time here. Given the ratio of developers-to-users, it simply isn't possible for us to answer every post and private message individually. Please know that we do try to read everything, but developer workload is simply too high to manage personal contact with tens-of-thousands of users simultaneously. In most cases, members of the development team will stick to conversations in the forum and will not answer private messages.
8) RESPECT OTHER DEVELOPERS: PMDG has always advocated for a strong development community and we have many friends within this community. Every developer offers something unique that helps to make the simming community larger and more vibrant. We insist that you treat our friends respectfully.
9) RESPECT MODERATORS: Moderators have a tough job, and none of them enjoy having to stomp out negativity. If a moderator has to weigh in to keep a thread peaceful, please respect that effort and refrain from giving the moderator any grief.
10) If you require official support for any of our products please open a support ticket through the support portal, https://support.precisionmanuals.com
11) This forum is designed primarily as a vehicle for the PMDG development team to interact with our customers, and for customers to interact with one another in a manner that is positive, supportive and assists in the general advancement of understanding the simulation and helping to make this and future simulations better.

I’ve just installed the aircraft from the Xbox marketplace and have found the aircraft to be completely unresponsive to my controller. None of the instruments work and the yoke, rudder, throttles etc. do not move at all. I can’t seem to move individual controls by selecting them, and the AFE does not seem to be working. Is anyone in the same situation?
We have seen many report on the official MSFS Discord that they cannot interact with switch as the Cockpit Interaction Legacy mode is not available on Xbox. They also tried with a mouse with the same result.
I don't think it's the Lock Mode instead of Legacy Mode for Cockpit Interaction.
I use the DC-6 on PC with Lock Mode (bought the aircraft from the PMDG website a while ago) just fine. With an Xbox Controller or mouse.
Lock Mode is what the Xbox has as the only Cockpit Interaction Option. But this works, at least on PC with my DC-6.
Hi,
I have very similar issues with DC-6.
Airplane stops engines when should be started and ready for take-off, cockpit is completely dead (instruments does not react), call sign is PMDG 6 (why PMDG when in cockpit is written anything else???).
It is shame what was released on marketplace.
I'm curious if these issues that the posters in this thread have with cockpit interaction, is this for both the DC-6A and the DC-6B and for all of the liveries ?

I’ve tried both aircraft and all liveries avaibale and cannot seem to get past these issues.
I think I must advise my Xbox Pilot friends to wait with purchasing and also myself wait what is the matter (I was contemplating buying a second time for my Xbox, I use the Xbox when travelling).
I imagine PMDG are just now very politely and calmy enquiring at MS/Asobo what is going and do so with very friendly words and a big smile on their faces.
Or maybe, in a slightly different manner.
Guys, this is mainly a customer forum. Devs show up and help here too, but if you want official support you should go to support.pmdg.com. You need to register for a support account there.
"How do I get support?
PMDG provides technical support to our retail and commercial customers via the PMDG Support Desk.
Technical Support for Retail Customers is provided via:
The PMDG Help Desk, which can be found at: support.precisionmanuals.com
Our Customer Forum located at forum.pmdg.com"
So it sounds a bit like "Choose your prefrerred method".
I would however also advice people to write support tickets as that works very well.
yes, it's a customer forum, no general avsim talk here... but still no official support. They may answer here if they got the time but a ticket ensures it and support via ticket is what we pay for.
Any update or recognition of the Xbox issues would be greatly appreciated. As it stands currently almost all of the cockpit interactions are broken and not useable with a controller, mouse, and even keyboard. I hate to ask but was this even tested on a Series X/S console before release? How could these big of issues be overlooked or missed prior to console release?
Hello, all. We have reached out to Microsoft and are awaiting guidance from them on this matter. Your difficulties on XBox have our full attention and are a top priority; we'll provide more info as soon as we have it.
I´m aware of that. Thought there might be a more indepth manual aswell which doesnt seem unusual for more complex aircraft.
But thanks for your reply and the link.

We provide a full POH with the aircraft in PDF form. The default location for this file on PC is:

I was just about to write "... of course there is, a massive and very detailed 300+ page Pilot Operating Handbook ", but then I realized we're talking about the Xbox version here... I guess this isn't available to Xbox users? That would indeed suck...
In there you'll also find an introduction and two tutorials.
This is an xbox thread. They are asking for Xbox user. Do you have a download link for them to download from the customer portal or am I allow to distribute the manual for them ?

Thanks for the documentation and update on the Xbox version! This will at least give us something to keep us busy and there appears to be plenty to read!
Captains,
Shortly after release of the PMDG DC-6 for MSFS via Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace, a few XBox users began to report some problems that do not have analogs on the PC side. We began to feed information back to Microsoft in order to see if they had recommendations and during the first few hours we weren't
Würde mich echt mal interessieren ob es einen gibt, bei dem alles funktioniert? Aber wenn es wirklich laufen sollte, wird er fliegen und nicht im Forum nach Fehlern suchen.

Ja, das würde mich auch mal interessieren. Und ob das wirklich "nur" 8-10% der Xbox User betrifft wage ich mal zu bezweifeln.
Yes, I would be interested in that too. And whether that really "only" affects 8-10% of Xbox users, I dare to doubt.
