PMDG have today released a new update for their recently released DC-6 for Xplane.
PMDG have taken on post-release feedback from the community, the experts and have added some extra functionality to make your experience even better than before. You can download version 1.10.0044 from their eCommerce system, after logging into your account.
You can simply install over the old version, or you can uninstall, and then install the new version – the choice is yours.
In the mean time, check out the change log below.
