Delta Air Lines operated 4 or 5 of these from 1957 to 1967.
While Delta used them for freight, we have added the 40 seat passenger version to our hangar as a secondary aircraft to the DC-6 program. To obtain the rating, request additional ratings through the DC-6 program. Be sure also to type in .udpate in ACARS chat box while connected.
An FS2004/FSX Freeware bird can be obtained from calclassic here: http://www.calclassic.com/commando.htm
Flyawaysimulation has a Delta paint: https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/16604/fs2004-delta-air-lines-curtiss-c-46-n9873f/
Just Flight has a payware version of the aircraft: https://www.justflight.com/product/c46-commando
Thanks so DC-6 Chief Pilot Jim Daigneau and ACP Michael Evans for helping us get this aircraft into our virtual hangar! Also, the C-46 is featured in the DVA Propliners Manual in our Document Library.

Andrew, that paint looks familiar but I can't seem to find it.Is it FS2K or FS9? As I said in another thread, the JF C-46 looks pretty nice! https://www.justflight.com/product/c46-commando

That is a good looking aircraft. Doesn't Buffalo Airways still fly these in Canada?

Phillip, yes they are. Here's their fleet page: http://www.buffaloairways.com/index.php?page=aircraft-fleet
Although, if you remember, they are minus one C-46:https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/eaa-news-and-aviation-news/bits-and-pieces-newsletter/11-2015-buffalo-airways-c-46-crash
