FS2004 Sud-Est SE161 Languedoc V1.0

The Sud-Est SE161 Languedoc was a postwar four-engine transport that saw extensive service with carriers like Air France, LOT Polish Airlines, and Aviaco in Spain well into the 1950s. This freeware add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, created by Jens B. Kristensen, provides a complete flight experience with intricate modeling, authentic repaints, and period-specific design features. Every detail was carefully reproduced, so enthusiasts can appreciate the piston-powered engines and the distinctive profile of this historic airliner.
