FSX Convair 600

Convair 600, a conversion from a Convair 240 aircraft with the original piston engines replaced with Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines. The CV-600 first flew with Central Airlines on 30 November 1965. The CV-600 aircraft that flew with Air Metro Airways was configured as a forty passenger airliner. In August 2006 a single Convair 600 aircraft remains in airline service, with Rhoades Aviation. Created with FSDS2.10 by John B. Loney, Jr.

ABOUT THE DESIGN:

Since I am not a flight dynamics specialist, the flight dynamics for this design is not entirely accurate. The aircraft is very fast, so in order to keep within the real parameters of speed, you should throttle back as not to exceed the cruising speed of 251 kts. The aircraft will reach it's maximum ceiling of 19,700 ft.

The panel is the default King Air panel.

The sound is the Embraer-120 Soundpackage By Aaron R. Swindle (Skysong Soundworks).

Enjoy this fun design.
