Is there anyone out there know if there is a Douglas DC-4E, this was a different aircraft than the standard DC-4.:running:

Just putting the question out there. Thanks.
 
I've yet to see the DC-4E. There was only one ever built but then there's been other unique aircraft done for FS9 as well. I'd like to see it and a Lockheed Constitution as well.
 
The DC-4E is a big wish of mine too. Would be something to have that giant of its days outside the hangar.

Cheers,
Maarten
 
Here she is showing off port engines only. :d

Lot of mystery surrounding the final whereabouts of this one. After Douglas sold it off to a Japanese business group right before the war, it either ended up at the bottom of Tokyo Bay after a test flight mishap or was reversed-engineered to a degree to help design the Nakajima G5N.
 
Glad to see alot of people taking interest in this particular plane, she is a real gem ain't she.:jump:

Maybe all the interest will get the ball rolling, if you catch my drift.:bump:
 
That's a good looking aircraft, I like the Super Connie style tail. Apparently the folks at Douglas didn't re-design what they didn't have to - the cockpit structure looks like it's right off a DC-3, just a bit bigger.
I'll put in my vote too for the Lockheed Constitution in flight sim. For a one-of-a-kind aircraft it served the Navy well for a number of years.
 
The problem with building a one of a kind aircraft such as the Constitution is that there is very little chance of getting any accurate data on the airplane aside from maybe which engines and the overall plan-form.

And even less of a chance to go to the local airport and find a friendly "very experienced" pilot that has flown one so you can get some real world handling notes put together like we were able to do for the L-1049.

That said...I would love to see her fly in the sim as well. But I am still working on my first Gmax tutorial :ernae:

I see your point, no matter how much we would like to see either or thest planes in a Sim, the physical information to create each would be hard to come bye.:kilroy:

I'll gonna go to my room now and cry.
