FS98 Lockheed Electra Model 10
Hello Folks,
I was looking for an old FS98 Model 10 Electra, as a platform to try out how Ivanīs new 2-pitch propellers would work on a twin-engined aircraft, but could only find a FS5 model of the plane on SimAviation, although it does have a very impressive panel and gauges, and some very nice metallic textures.
The model is actually more than enough as a platform to produce a CFS1 .air file with the new propellers. Building a new model of the Lockheed 10 Electra is incidentally on my to-do list, which may be interesting for some people in this forum.
As I know Flightsim.com has a newer version of this plane, I tried to look there, but access is blocked because of some missing RC4 security prococol and/or SSL encryptation. I donīt know if it is my version of WinXP/Google Chrome that is at fault, or if it is Flightsimīs Site security which is no longer good enough for Google Chrome.
Would anyone perhaps have any information on this?
Thanks in advance,
Aleatorylamp

Hello Aleatorylamp,
I believe the aeroplane you are looking for can also be found here.

I know I have had a version of it for years, but it isn't this version.
The fellow who uploaded this particular version has a tendency to repaint EVERYTHING in Chilean Air Force markings and I figured I would look for it in that manner this morning on the chance that he got to the Lockheed Electra also.... Which he did of course.
I notice that this thread is getting to be pretty much an Off Topic collection or a general announcement for yet another project.
Originally the intent was to address the very prominent or famous WW2 aeroplanes that had somehow been neglected or never had a good version built thus
Conspicuous because it stands out
and Absence because it doesn't exist.... yet.
About half of my own projects are because I really want to own one or figure I can do much better than what is currently out in the wild, so mine don't often qualify for the topic either. I really can't think of even one project that I have ever done that really fit into well into the topic of this thread!
