Outstanding!

I look forward to this new addition and will, no doubt, spend
many hours in the VC as I have with previous Connie models!

Alas, I must wait until I return from a couple of weeks down
in "Oz"

I also have the previous model in my FSX since it received a VC, and I appreciated it a lot. This new Connie looks great

Seem Avsim has been screwy the last couple of days, sent a file to upload and haven't heard back for it yet and that was a day ago.

These are the L-1049G Super Constellations, the one you already have is the L-1649 Starliner. I'll let someone with more knowledge explain the difference, they are siblings but not the same plane. Also, the new 1049 package includes a lot of models, radar nose, w/o radar nose, tip tanks, w/o tip tanks, etc. You'll be wanting this new set as well!

FS2004 Lockheed L-1049 Super G Constellation. First flown in December 1954, the "Super G" was the most successful and prestigious civil variant of Lockheed's Super Constellation series. It could carry up to 99 passengers, and optional wing-tip tanks holding 600 gallons each enabled it to comfortably fly the popular long-distance routes. Included in the package are four models representing aircraft with and without radar noses and tip tanks. Model, VC, and texture basics by Manfred Jahn. Panels, gauges, and animations by Hansjoerg Naegele. Flight dynamics by Luis Pallas. Wing view angles by Bill Tyne and Andreas Trapp. Lights and exhaust effects by Roland Berger. Checklist and documentation by Volker Boehme. Flight test and handling research by Stefan Werner.

How does one fix the props (if you even can)?

Sorry, but I am picky about my props in FSX these days.....

Hey, we have provided FSX SP2 prop textures, they are in a folder called fsx props and you must choose the model and rename the file to propdisk.bmp or propdisk.dds and delete the one in the aircraft texture or livery folder and paste the new one. Here are some VC shots. Enjoy!

"Representing the pinnacle of piston-engined air transport design, the Starliner's operational career was curtailed by the dawning of the jet age."

This line made me chuckle. Especially after having read about the Howard 500 again yesterday, which is nothing short of a jet with pistons. :d

 

[thunder100]

Look to Avsim(if it ever works) for Starliner 2.2

This will bring you there

Got it over at flightsim. Very nice bird for a port! I'm still trying out the different prop textures. Are there any military C-121 paints for this Super-G?

 

[CodyValkyrie]

Hey, that is great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

That virtual cockpit is really a beauty, just like the plane.
Also, it's a very dark cockpit. Can't wait to test it with the bloom module. The sky will get very bright for sure, the effect will be lovely at sunset !
