• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Lockheed L-188

Yup. Two different Electras - worse than that, both by Lockheed! Way to make people confused. :icon_lol:

It'll be really nice to have one (either for that matter!) in FSX native format though. :applause:
 
Nice, I really like this plane. As soon as its out I´ll make a re-paint for a "Coastal Patrol" one that used to fly around here looking for dope traffic........:kilroy:
 
Most of you already know this, but........:

The P-3 Orion, originally designated P3V, is based on the same design philosophy as the Lockheed L-188 Electra. It is not the same plane structurally; it has had 7 ft (2.1 m) of fuselage removed fore of the wings, as well as myriad internal, external, and airframe production technique enhancements. The prototype YP3V-1/YP-3A BuNo 148276 was in fact modified from the third Electra airframe c/n 1003.

I flew one of those around the world (virtually) for the VA I fly for -- Noble Air. Had a great time. Took forever though in a propliner. Those four big Allisons turboprops cruise smoothly and will get you in and out of some small areas. I think it was the old Mike Stone version. Looking forward to this new one.
