FS2004 Air Ceylon L-749A Constellation

Air Ceylon was formed in 1947 by the government of the newly independent Republic of Ceylon (nowadays Sri Lanka). That same year three Lockheed L-749 Constellations were ordered for the connection Colombo-London. These are textures only. You will require Team 749's (Manfred Jahn and Co) Lockheed L-749 Constellation Basic Pack (LOCKHEED749.ZIP), the folder Lockheed_L749_1 (jet stack exhausts). Also required Team 749's Lockheed L-749 Constellation Models Update (749_MODELS_UPDATE.ZIP). Included mdl's custom made by Manfred Jahn. Repaints by Maarten Brouwer.

• First, make sure that the Basic Pack including the Models Update, is installed on your system.
• Find the Lockheed_L749_1 folder on your system.
• Place the folders Model.CEY_A and Model.CEY_SP_A in the Lockheed_L749_1 folder.
• Place the folder texture.AirCeylon-PHLDP in the Lockheed_L749_1 folder.
• Then open the aircraft.cfg file in your the Lockheed_L749_1 folder and paste the following after the other, similar sections at the top of the file - replace the x with the next number in the sequence:
