Well if anything it’s clear they couldn’t care less about this issue. Thanks again MS/Asobo for taking my hard earned money and running off with out comment.
We only can hope, when they rollout this subpatch for SU7, they will include a fix for using the DC6 on xbox.
Well now would be a great time to test if it works no? I’m in the public beta and I’m sure I can’t be the only one with the DC-6 on Xbox to join. Would be a great time to test on Xbox’s in the wild right? I doubt that will happen though. And based the lack of communication we’ll be lucky to hear anything on the DC-6 before the 737 arrives.
PMDG’s customer service and communication are fantastic. They actually value their customers. Unfortunately they’re having to deal with Microsoft, who are the antithesis of these things.

The historical evidence in regard to how quickly Microsoft introduce marketplace updates and fixes in general suggests otherwise, plus they have often remained silent in the past regarding major issues.
I have a semi-open mind here in regard to this being fixed in a timely fashion, but I’m still very sceptical it will be sorted quickly. I do not envisage a fix before the next update in February.
But, time will tell.

Today’s blog update says that a fix for the DC-6 on XBox is still months away.
I understand that delays happen and I’m not upset (btw. I am a PC user and bought the DC6 on the marketplace and have been enjoying it ever since). I’m just curious: I thought the problem is that many switches are not clickable. How can such a minor issue take months to fix? I mean the functionality behid the switches is presumably all there, it is just that the click spots are not recognized, correct? This is really curious…
Edit: and that presumably also means that all other planes with clickable XBox functionality will be delayed by months, correct?

This is what I’m concerned about… so I guess MS/Asobo have to hope we stick around. Not sure what is keeping me at this point. Essentially we’re being told that in a few months it may be fixed.
…but it will likely take a few more months to achieve that…
and there is less and less trust.
a few months and new bugs and a new few months
Told ya… dont expect a quick fix… please, manage your expectations. This fix will come when they release the next SU.
I think they’re going to find a drop off of Xbox users as they become disinterested and disillusioned with this, as this issue is clearly the reason why other quality aircraft hasn’t made it to the Xbox, not just the DC-6. I did not expect a quick fix myself and thought the next update would be the likely point it would be addressed so my expectations are and were low, but they’re going to lose a lot of people with this. This is an issue they should’ve forseen, in my opinion.

I have seen this mentioned in another post. What is the source of this? An official announcement or something? It seems pretty significant.
Edit.
Nvm.
I notice there are links to a PMDG statement in this very thread. (Probably time for more coffee.)
Have MS/Asobo made any public announcement of this themselves?
They may eventually release an update officially, but my understanding is Asobo do not understand the issue themselves at the moment so they have to dig deep to try and alleviate the root cause of the problem that is somehow masked in the xbox testing environment.
People may drop off and become disillusioned, which would be a shame, but I never thought for a second the transition of a complicated simulator to the xbox platform would be simple and easy. Even with the best of intentions and forward planning and testing.
It’s the Christmas period as well, so, expecting everyone to work even harder over that is a bit dickish. So, we definitely won’t see anything for it until the new year, maybe with the SU dedicated to bug fixes but it might be after that even. It really depends if they can isolate that root cause.
Wait… What? Few more months….
This is not the way to solve a problem by offering your clients a refund. Definitely not.
Will be reluctant to buy anything again from the market place if this is the way you handle things by offering a refund instead of fixing the issue.

This how they solve issues - silence, pullout, refund.

I’ve almost ticked off the DC-6. The whole incident just bothers and disappoints me. I will definitely ask for a refund. Especially since other providers were able to bring their no less high-quality aircraft to the market in a functional manner. and in the months up to the dc-6, if at all, you can fall in love with other “daughters”. True to an old saying “other mothers also have beautiful daughters!”

I’m honestly curious what other plane released on Xbox is similar in complexity to the DC-6?
