FSX Turboprops
Convair CV-580 Mega Pack
Dive into a meticulously detailed simulation experience with the FSX Convair …
Convair 600 brings the classic CV-240 turboprop conversion to FSX, swapping piston power for Rolls-Royce Dart engines and delivering a lively 40‑passenger airliner feel inspired by early Central Airlines service. The package includes a detailed FSDS model, a default King Air virtual cockpit panel, and Embraer 120-style turboprop sounds.
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.
INSTALLATION:
For FSX, unzip the file Convair600fsx to a temporary folder and move the folder Convair 600 v1_1 to the airplanes folder in the SimObjects folder in FSX. You're done! Go fly.
THANKS TO:
Aaron R. Swindle for his Embraer E120 sound.
Known Problems:
