This freeware release features a meticulously crafted Aerovias Guest repaint for the Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation, representing registration XA-NAF from around 1961. Created by Gary Harper and based on Manfred Jahn’s L-1049G model, this add-on delivers period-inspired aesthetics and an authentic feel for anyone flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Installation requires the base L1049G.ZIP, which can be acquired from the Fly Away Simulation mod library. The content below covers essential details and includes the necessary configuration entries.

Historic Background and Airline Context

The real-world L-1049 series, often called the “Super G,” was a stretched variant in Lockheed’s Constellation lineup, renowned for its enhanced performance and more spacious cabin. Aerovias Guest, known in Mexico for its passenger operations, employed propeller-driven airliners prior to widespread jet adoption. This particular airframe—XA-NAF—reflects the airline’s branding from the early 1960s, capturing a distinctive moment in commercial aviation.

Texture and Model Details

This repaint highlights the characteristic lines of the “Super Constellation.” Users will notice historically accurate fuselage markings, tail logos, and window layouts reminiscent of Aerovias Guest’s fleet. The underlying model—engineered by Manfred Jahn—accounts for engine power curves, cockpit instrumentation, and aerodynamic nuances specific to the L-1049G. In conjunction, Gary Harper’s texture set ensures consistent detailing across the aircraft’s surfaces.

Installation Instructions

  • Obtain the Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation base package (L1049G.ZIP) if not already installed.
  • Place the included “texture.Guest” folder into the main L-1049G directory within your “Aircraft” folder.
  • Open the aircraft.cfg file found in the same directory. Scroll to the bottom and insert the following block of code, replacing “xx” with the next available fltsim index.
