Captains-
Tonight I am going to solve two mysteries with one forum post...
For the past couple of years, we have mentioned that we are working on our first product for XPlane, but that the product was being developed slowly, as a sandbox exercise so that PMDG's Xplane Development Team could learn to work with, and adapt our existing capabilities to make them function well in the popular Xplane flight simulator by Laminar Research.We have told you repeatedly that we were going to "keep this one in close hold" while we worked through the development and learning process, so as to give the development team the freedom they need to really dig deep and learn what is an entirely new platform to us in nearly all regards.
During the same period of time, we have been rather mum on the progress forward after our January 2012 announcement regarding the DC-6 for FSX...
So tonight, I would like to share with you the very latest on the PMDG Classics DC-6B by showing you images of this fine new classic airliner simulation in a platform for which PMDG has never previously shown a product:Xplane, by Laminar Research!
机长们：
今晚我将为大家在这个帖子里解答大家之前的两个疑问。。。
过去的几年里，我们已经提到过，我们正在为X-Plane平台制作机模插件；但因为这是我们为X-Plane制作的第一款插件，所以我们将它作为一个沙盒项目缓慢推进（原文sandbox exercise），来让我们的X-Plane对应开发团队可以更为深入的了解X-Plane、同时也将我们目前所拥有的技术移植进X-Plane的平台。我们已经反复告诉过玩家，在我们了解学习X-Plane的开发过程中，我们会紧密结合并推进这一机模的开发过程，这样我们的开发团队就可以最大程度的学习挖掘X-Plane平台所提供的功能与潜力。
在2012年我们宣布给FSX制作DC-6插件之后，我们便默默开始了为X-Plane制作机模的过程。
所以今晚，我将与大家以图片形式分享我们最新的PMDG经典客机插件：DC-6B。而这一机型的运行平台是PMDG此前从未涉足的平台：Larminar Research的X-Plane。
Amazingly- in spite of the fact that I have deflected a few hundred requests for information on both projects, it apparently wasn't easy to put together 3+3 and came up with DC-6 for Xplane...(Which really is astounding given how many really whacked out conjecture theories there are out there about PMDG...one of the latest being that we apparently control AVSim?Yeah...Right...Has **anyone** in this forum ever tried to tell Tom Allensworth what to do?As we used to say at my line:"Good Luck with that.")
Okay- back to the point of this evening's post....:ph34r:
To start with tonight, I would like to share with you some highly detailed preview preview images of the new PMDG Classics DC-6B for Xplane!
有趣的是，尽管我拒绝了上百个要求公开项目进度的请求，但对于将3+3加起来等于X-Plane DC-6还是挺困难的（原文“it apparently wasn't easy to put together 3+3 and came up with DC-6 for Xplane”不知道怎么理解），当然各位玩家对于PMDG的疯狂猜测也挺令人吃惊的。最新的一个是说“我们PMDG控制了AVSIM”。是吗？。。。恩可能吧。。。有人告诉过Tom Allensworth（AVSIM管理员）该怎么做吗？对此我们一直说，“祝好运吧”。
好了，回到帖子里。
今晚我们将从分享一些高质量预览图片开始为大家介绍PMDG给X-Plane制作的经典客机：DC-6B。
The PMDG Classics DC-6B is the lead off product in a new breed of products for PMDG that will bring some "old school" aviation to our product lines for Xplane, FSX and Prepar3D.This product will drop for XPlane first- but shortly after will release for FSX and Prepar3D as well- making it the first PMDG product to appear on three different simulation platforms.(We count FSX and FSX-SE as a single platform...)
PMDG经典客机DC-6B是PMDG为X-Plane、FSX、P3D三平台系列经典客机的第一个作品。这个机模会首先提供给X-Plane玩家，FSX、P3D版本会随后跟进。它也将会成为PMDG首个三平台机模（我们把FSX与FSX Steam版本当做同一个玩意儿）。
With a couple of years in development, we have succeeded in bringing together a simulation of this magnificent and beautiful airplane that will satisfy even the most detail oriented classic airliner nut.From an exquisitely detailed exterior model, accurate sounds recorded using a live DC-6, a meticulously scaled and created virtual cockpit, authentic aircraft system simulation down to the finest and grittiest details- we think this simulation is going to give pure joy to anyone looking for something a bit different than the standard "Gear Up LNAV-VNAV" of modern airliners.
经历了数年的开发，我们成功将DC-6B完美模拟进了模拟飞行界，以至于那些对经典老式客机与细节模拟痴迷的玩家都会对此而感到满意。这款DC-6B拥有从头到位的细致外部模型、来自真实DC-6的声音录音、精细的3D座舱、完整的飞机系统模拟。我们肯定这款机模将带给玩家纯正的飞行体验，当然与我们之前那些标准的“收轮 - 接通水平/垂直导航”现代客机不同。
Take a moment to soak in how much "stuff" us contained in this one panel view...
In typical PMDG style- all of this works... and all of it works correctly and realistically.
The fuel system in this simulation includes accurately modeled tanks, fuel scuppers, cross-feed and engine/fuel sourcing management... Engine behaviors will depend upon correct use of engine mixtures, temperature controls and throttles.Fuel consumption matches book values and the longevity and usefulness of those four powerplants will depend very much on your correct application of power, mixture and RPM!This is a sophisticated airliner poised with one foot in the golden era and another at the doorstep of the jet age... And she will make you earn her respect!
请大家注意我们在这个面板视角中所展现的内容。
首先是传统的PMDG风格 - 所有的按钮开关都可以工作，而且都能正确与真实的工作。
DC-6B的燃油系统模拟包含油箱、燃油卸油口、燃油交输与发动机燃油管理功能。发动机工况将由玩家设定的油气混合比、油温控制与油门活动而决定。燃油消耗与真实DC-6B工况对应；此外四台引擎的持续工作与易用性完全取决于玩家是否正确设置了发动机动力、油气比与RPM。DC-6B是架非常复杂的飞机，它诞生于飞行黄金年代与喷气时代之间。她的魅力肯定能赢得玩家的尊敬。
Everything you see here is modeled...As usual, we haven't just mapped some switch movements to default actions within Xplane (and FSX and P3D) we have created a living, breathing simulation of the airplane in which actions and non actions have consequences.Our simulation of this classic airliner will teach you to listen to what your airplane is telling you- but from an audio experience, but also visually....
Is there a sudden, slight vibration rippling through the panel?You may want to figure out why- and get the situation back into conformity before the airplane decides she needs to teach you a costly lesson in inattentive airmanship!(Because she will!)
你能看到的任何物体都被制作。和往常一样，我们并非只将模拟了部分动画效果的开关与X-Plane（或FSX、P3D）默认功能结合，而是赋予整架飞机以生机——操作任何一个开关都会对飞机产生影响。我们经典客机系列机模将教会玩家倾听飞机，不论从视觉动画上还是听觉上。
你是否注意到面板上突然传来一阵震动声响？你肯定想知道为什么会有这个声音——请按照标准的操作程序操作飞机，不然DC-6会用昂贵的“费用”教你如何成为一名专注的飞行员。（她会!）
As with our modern airliner series, the PMDG Classics DC-6B for Xplane will come to you with a complete and accurate aircraft operating manual, complete with tips, tricks and techniques recommended to real world DC-6 captains by Douglas Aircraft in order to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the airplane.
Rather than simply model a "from an old manual" DC-6, however, we sent a crew to Namibia to do our engineering survey, photo mapping and sound recording with the operation of one of the worlds finest passenger carrying DC-6s still in active operation.As such, ours comes with a "modern" stack of radios (okay... if you call the 80s modern....) and a WAAS capable Garmin GPS to help you navigate the complex airspace of modern VATSIM and IVAO... (I'm lost without GPS... I'll admit it... :unsure: )
Once again, everything you see here works...Emergency and backup systems.. annunciators, indicators, needles, handles, lights...it is all there...
The needles providing you indication are modeled to accurately reflect the motion of their real world counterparts- which gives the cockpit a true sense of living- and can really give you something to work for if one of those big radials starts belching and backfiring and shaking the airplane like a tin can full of pebbles!
与我们现代飞机模拟一样，X-Plane版的PMDG DC-6B也将带给玩家精准的操作手册，其中包含由道格拉斯公司提供给真实DC-6飞行员的飞行技巧与提示。通过这些内容玩家可以顺畅高效的操作飞机。
为了不仅仅做一架“来自古老手册”的老爷DC-6，我们的制作人员远赴非洲纳米比亚，找到了现今保存最完好的、依然执行客运任务的DC-6飞机，并对这些飞机进行了精确测绘、照片拍摄与声音录制。因此在我们给大家提供的DC-6B上安装了“现代化”的无线电系统（那玩意儿在80年代确实挺现代化的）与WAAS兼容的Garmin GPS系统，这样大家就可以用DC-6B在复杂的VATSIM/IVAO世界里进行导航。（没了GPS我会迷航。。。我承认。）
再次重申，玩家所看到的每个物体都能操作。比如紧急与备份系统、信报机、指示器、指针、手柄、灯光。。。所有的都在。
仪表指针的模拟与真实世界中的仪器精确一致，让驾驶舱富有生机。这也让大家在遇到仪表乱晃飞机乱砸（就像是一个石头盒子乒乓乱撞时那样）时有事情可以做。
The PMDG Classics DC-6B for Xplane will have something we have not yet put into any previous PMDG product to date:Circuit breaker level functionality accessible to pilots.(In FSX/P3D putting this many click spots into the airplane takes about 20fps... so we simply haven't bothered...Xplane, however- has no such resource connection to the click spots- and it has given us the freedom to give you the opportunity to really mess up your afternoon!)
X-Plane版的PMDG DC-6B还有早先PMDG任何产品都不具备的功能 - 让我们的模拟飞行员接触到断路器的操作。
在FSX/P3D中如此多的鼠标点击区域将造成fps只有20左右的窘境，所以之前我们就忽略了它，但在X-Plane中情况就不一样——如此多的鼠标点击区域不会造成fps下降，这也带给我们让玩家毁了整个下午的机会（意指玩家乱拔断路器开关导致飞机无法正常工作，侧面说明PMDG的机模质量上乘）。
Some of you may know- all of us at PMDG are classic airliner nuts.We just love the smell of avgas, hot oil and well run radial engines- so it seemed like a great idea to make the DC-6 our first full project for release in the Xplane platform.
(Speaking of oil...your engines will consume oil at realistic rates during flight...so take care of those engines and mind the pressures and temperatures, because abuse causes oil consumption to go up- and you do not want to pay for any more of that stuff than you have to, trust us!)
有些玩家可能知道，我们PMDG的所有开发者都是老爷机爱好者。我们都喜欢老飞机的汽油味、滚烫的油以及老式星形发动机，所以给X-Plane的第一个机模做DC-6似乎是个非常好的主意。
说到油，诸位的发动机在运行时消耗的燃油与真实飞机无异，所以请大家在飞行中时刻关注自己的发动机，留心油压与温度，因为胡搞一气会导致发动机耗油率升高，你也不想为多出燃油费之类的而买单吧，相信我们。
Okay- so there you have her... PMDG's first project for Xplane, and a full update on progress forward with the DC-6B!
We are in the process of prepping the Xplane edition for beta testing- which we anticipate taking a bit longer than our normal beta process simply because we are going to be discovering some things with Xplane that I am sure we won't run into with FSX and P3D, since we know those platforms pretty well already.
Once we have the Xplane version into beta testing- we will cut the beta team loose to show you as much or as little as they like- but be prepared for some enthusiasm because this old girl is a four-throttled-fist-full-of-fun that brings all new meaning to "don't get behind the airplane!"
好了，以上就是我们要说的，PMDG给X-Plane制作的第一款机模，以及机模目前的制作进度。
我们现在已经在准备这款机模的beta测试，而这测试我们将会花比我们通常测试更长的时间，因为我们试图去发现在FSX/P3D平台上不会出现的、X-Plane特有的问题，虽然我们知道X-Plane已经是个很好的平台。
当我们的X-Plane版本飞机开始beta测试后，我们将对测试组人员进行精简。不过请大家准备好自己的热情，因为DC-6B是一架四引擎的、充满乐趣的飞机，会带给大家“别落后”的奋进精神。
