Thanks for the find....

Up the road off of I-4 out of Tampa there is a place called "Fantasy of Flight" http://www.fantasyofflight.com/


There is a Connie that sits on the grounds that will never fly again. I have been told it is a freighter,no seats, that just had its engines stripped out for a plane in Germany. They were being sent to California to be refurbished...Here are two shots..



Love the lines..

Is there a native FSX version somewhere? pay or freeware.

No.


However, the Connie mentioned in the initial post is said to work fairly well in FSX.
It even has engine failiures upon wrong use of the controls, etc...

Got one (i think the same one) a while ago. I like to know if this is the same one with modifications recently applied (as in a week or two weeks ago).

The one i got flies really great. Only had to change the prop-dishes.

This is version 2.2, just released. I can't download right now due to slooooow internet, but I have version 2.1, released a month or two (?) ago, and it works really well.

 

[hobofat]

if i'm not mistaken, manfred jahn the lead on the team that created this fantastic bird mentioned an FSX version. In any case, from v2.0 on it has worked fairly well in FSX and threads at calclassic forum have supported those porting it into fsx. it is one of the more fantastic freeware aircraft ever released...

Vc is very nice and the airfiles allow different levels of realism.

This plane was acquired by Lufthansa together with two other L-1649As. One is currently restored to flying condition in an especially build hangar at the Auburn-Lewiston airport in Maine. I guess thats the aircraft the gets the engines. It's meant for Deutsche Lufthansa Berlin-Stiftung (DLBS) and should be back in the air in 2010 and later demonstrated at Air shows as their Ju-52.

Indeed, been waiting for an update from Baz, but I know he's had other priorities recently.

 

[Warrant]

The freeware bird is great....no, it's Excellent!

But ya gotta admit....the Justflight bird is a beauty as well :woot::Banane41::Banane15:

Gonna juice up my CC for that one!

 

[datter]

I've been looking for one of those, thanks for the tip. I'll have to go dig around avsim for it... too bad that site is so damned difficult to navigate and find stuff on.
