Hi ya Hayden, yeah I have been watching this with great interest, It is lucky I know very little about the Lockheed Constellation Nah .. Only kidding , I do have fingers crossed that maybe A2A will put, or at least have the option for a nimble/radar nose variant of the 049 series, give it that cosmetic nose affect , paints can then move on to the the later 0649 and 0749 series making it more usable to the Connie Clan , very little difference externally other than engine nacelle and a few inch's in length , course performance due engine but in saying that be well worth the that small mod simply for three types .. the L1049 was a whole different class again, be great to see that get further looked into at a later stage.

Is it better than the Jahn team freeware product?

[Ian Warren]

Mike , Manfred Jahn's Lockheed Constellation Collection is in a 'Class of his Own' , Free and every part or every variant is simply mind blowing, so easy to paint, the variations , simply it would be very difficult to beat.

The one big thing with the A2A aircraft is the let get in and really drive this thing , I lucky to have all the flight manuals here to all the variants .... Soooo really really looking forward to follow thru, I would say if your the systems button pushing type , this is the latest one to get, it is going to be interesting to see how it may progress.

OOO yes ... just hope they move it along a little and do a long nose with tip tanks .

OOO yes ... just hope they move it along a little and do a long nose with tip tanks .

I think we would pushing the extended hull and tip tanks, the radar nose is do-able , it would be nice to see this progress much further, go up to the 1049 , you never know, I think without pushing the Idea it is still very possible, I think it simply depends on the interest with the aircraft type ... SHITE , sure as hell beats the X-PLANE PMDG DC-6 ten fold.

[Splitpin]

Such a shame the PMDG team went to the dark side .... they would have cleaned up if that DC-6 was for all platforms .

That is for real Matey , pleased A2A really hooked into this one !
