FS2004 XC-69/L-049 Constellation Prototype

The XC69 is the Constellation that started it all. Originally designated as the "Excalibur", the Constellation had a legendary beginning and star studded designers. Depicted here in three liveries, rollout day colours, flight test colours, and USAAF delivery colours. This aircraft would later be transformed into the first L-1049 and finally the first WV-2. Original aircraft by Team 749 (Manfred Jahn, Roland Berger, Volker Boehme, Luis Pallas, Bill Tyne, and Stefan Werner), requires CalClassic / Team 749 L749 package (LOCKHEED749.ZIP), will work with or without updated .mdl files (749_MODELS_UPDATE.ZIP). Repaint by Dan McManus.

It was initially bought by Hughes tool, then repurchased by Lockheed to become the first L-1049 and finally the first WV-2.

Depicted here is XC-69 C/N 1961 43-10309, in USAAF delivery colors. This livery was unique because it was the short-lived "Red Border" national insignia, but still with the "Lockheed" logos. By this time, although only six months old, "the beast" (as the test crews affectionately referred to her) had been put through the ringer, and accumulated a lifetime of wear already. 43-103109 did not remain in military service after WWII. It was initially bought by Hughes tool, then repurchased by Lockheed to become the first L-1049 and finally the first WV-2.
