FS2004 L'Air Azur VA Super Constellation

A repaint of Mike Stone's Lockheed Super Connie model in the colors of L'Air Azur VA, with high detail reflective textures and new night lighting effects. Size and placement of windows and exits has been corrected. This repaint aims to recreate the glamorous look of vintage aircraft in the Golden Days of Commercial Aviation. Textures in 32 bit extended format with no mipmaps. Requires SCONNIE.ZIP. Repaint by Joao Paz.

In this repaint I used part of a Dave McQueen's metal texture as the basis for some of my own metal textures and templates. I tried to contact Mr. McQueen for permission but couldn't - so I hope that this credit can pay the due respect to his great work!

Thank you Mike Stone, for an also Great model of a Super aircraft!

Thanks to Microsoft for a wonderful flight simulator that keeps getting better.

Thanks always to Luisa Paz, Alaskan Winds Operations Manager and L'Air Azur President that, in her role of my wife has always been my greatest supporter in this very time consuming hobby of ours!

Installation:

• Download and install sconnie.zip, if you don't have it already.
• Find your [connie] folder and duplicate the [texture] folder and rename it to [texture.laz] (no brackets).
• Copy the enclosed bitmaps in the [texture.laz] folder to the new [texture.laz] folder you have just created on step 2, overwritting as requested.
• To conclude, copy the section below into your Connie aircraft.cfg, next to the last [fltsim. ] section (usually before the [General] section) and replace the 'n' on the [fltsim.n] line with the next number in the sequence of the previous [fltsim. ] sections:
