Virtavia Warning Star

Not bad - but to my opinion the greyblue of the cockpit looks a little too sterile. In comparison to Manfred Jahns C-47 for example, this is too little "life" in this bird...Only my 50 cent....

I kind of thought the same but it still looks very good. I'm sure someone could give the VC a good weathering job to give it more than a factory fresh character. The reason I am interested in this model is because the JF Connie series is aged out a good bit and I had the A2A Connie in FSX but there were minor issues I didn't like about it and didn't want to pay for a full brand new (and expensive) model for P3Dv4 (I ended up with the PMDG DC-6 which I'm more happy with). Still, a Warning Star of this caliber even if it's a fairly simply model systems wise will be one I want to buy to have in my hangar as I have always liked and wanted a good EC-121 model.
 
According to their web site (The main page)

SimMarket SimShack FlightSim.com

That's where it's available. I just looked at SimMarket, the one of those three I usually buy from, and it's up there.
 
Hello

I bought it and tried it short yesterday evening

Additionally I may have to say that I am Connie specialist ( I am from Manfred Jahn's team- 1049 and 1649 FDE is mine)

Optical and 3 D model is stunning

Some other things ** ( but I have a look to it today again- maybe there was a mistake in installing ) are not so stunning

The flaps animation is wrong- first step flaps move straight back ( increase wing area) and then move down. They just move down
FDE is questionable in many things
now (**) I cannot operate the prop pitch setting gradually just on/off, what is a no go on Connie as, beeing the famous best "Trimotor" ,requires deep engine managment not to blow the Wright Turbo compound ( a thing also todays F1 engines have) engines up

I dont say at all you should not buy- not at all- just not so accurate as Alphasim/Virtavia usually were

my 2 cents

So, what you're saying is I'll have to adopt your FDE for this model and make some C[SUB]D0[/SUB] adjustments for the increased drag. Got it. ;)
 
Not sure "My" ( actually its huge teamwork and endless testing) FDE would be better. Our WV-1 ( far more drag then an ordinary L-1049 ) was only soso

I bought it a little while ago. I did make minor changes with the roll and pitch rates which to me seemed a bit high for this size of aircraft, added a tiny bit of Flap drag. I never upgraded my A2A L049 from FSX over the P3Dv4 (simply because I wanted to invest in other models) but I saved the sound file and moved it over into this one out of personal preference. The standard sound file is actually very good. I like the model inside and out, quite fun to fly.
