C-46 Commando?

[Cag40Navy]

I heard there was a FSX native freeware model of the C-46, is this true?

If there is, tell me about it.

The Cal Classics one ports over quite well, so I am told, but I've never tried it. It was gorgeous in FS9 as you can see below. I wonder why, with yet another DC3/C-47 on the horizon, so many more interesting aircraft from that era are neglected in FSX.

I did try the CalClassics Commando as a port over and was frankly dissapointed with the results.

I want to point out that is not meant to disparage the effort, and I did enjoy this aircraft in FS9, but.......

It would be nice to have a good treatment of this historical aircraft.

I have not heard about an FSX "native" C-46. I do have Tom Gibson's update of Libardo's Commando in both FS9 and FSX and I am very pleased with the results. The aircraft's appearance and sounds are magnificent; and it flys like a big heavy prop job. My thanks to both of these men and their support crews for a great FS airplane.

Where by chance do i find this "FSX" Commando?

Nip over to the Cal Classic site http://www.calclassic.com/ and look down the list of aircraft for yon Curtiss Commando. You'll see that it's V2, updated in April 2011.

Veddy noice indeed!
