YES!!! You have no idea how much I like this plane. I've been flying the original since it's release a few years ago. Looking forward to seeing the re-vamp.

MANFRED RE-WORKING HIS TURBO CONNIE

That looks wonderful Manfred. Working on the Basler has obviously fired up your interest in turbo-props. Hope this is for FS9 as well . . . . like the Basler will eventually be . . . . .
Lovely work.

That triple-tailed beauty is a sultry mistress. You can walk away from here for a bit and spend your time with stubby little things that drag their single tail through the mud.
Might even pretty them up with some fancy new hardware ......
But sooner or later you are back looking at those lovely lines that are simply right from every angle and you can't resist the urge.

Well done as usual Manfred :ernae:

Cheers

Sexy lady! Very happy-exciting news! Looking forward to Turbo-Connie revisited:jump:
(And maybe some fictional airline markings?)

When I made the switch to flying mainly in FSX I only brought over 2 planes without VC's and this is one of them, and I'll continue to fly it even if it never gets one.

But I'm sure alot of us would be ecstatic to even get just the prop VC refitted with turbine gauges, no matter if it's truly realistic to type or not. I know the design team tries to give us the most realistic planes they can and might not like that idea so I'll be more than happy with whichever version the update comes in.

As of right now the VC version is still a WIP ... But there will be a VC and it will also have a FDE developed directly on lessons learned from all the other Connie's and the engine information we have since gathered for the C-133.
We have been unable to locate a real world pilot who flew the Turbo version and documentation is not as plentiful as for the other airplanes in the series. So there will be some artistic license and good old fashioned guess work. But the only person who could really say so is exactly who we are looking for...

Stefan,

Here's another one missing from your line up of Connies! You already have the basic airframe (the PO-1 FAA model) that needs radomes and antennas added!

Dave
 
Well we do have EC-121 or WV-2 variants of the L-1049 with ventral and dorsal radomes already. The PO-1 was of course the test airframe based on the L-749. Since this would be 99.9% Gmax work and very little FDE work if Luis can extrapolate the added drag, it is up to Volker to decide if he wants to tackle this one.

But let's not side track the Turbo-Connie thread with piston powered ones :)

Stefan,

Could you PM me his address so I could ask him and send the pics.

Regards,
Dave
 
He is around here regularly. But I would advise to wait with any requests until we are done with the current projects. The odds of a positive consideration go up when the workload is low.
