The Super Constellation Flyers Association (SCFA), a European group that owns and flies an actual Lockheed Constellation, has announced the development of a flightsim version of their aircraft. Planned for release in April the aircraft will work with FS2004 and FS2002 and will be donationware in support of the real aircraft. For details and screen shots, click on Read More.
Are you looking for a highly realistic L1049 "Super Constellation" FS model for your Flight Simulator FS2002/FS2004? Then you might be interested that members of the Super Constellation Flyers Association (SCFA, flyers of the real thing), are developing a very detailed FS model of their Connie!
By having access to an real L1049H aircraft, I can say, this FS add-on package of the Lockheed L1049 series will be one of the closest ever made to the real L1049 aircraft.
The model will be absolutely true to scale, it'll set new standards in this and other terms.
Please see the first puplished screenshots. This model will be available as donationware. All funds raised will go into the SCFA project. Estimated release date is end of April.
