Meh. DC-4 with different engines.

Will get it for sure. Just bad timing due end of month and credit card already dead until next pay check.

Will be grabbing this and the DC-4 when released. I hate to be one of "those" people... but while its 100% historically inaccurate is there any provision for a modern cockpit version with gtn750/650/430/weather radar etc? Only to make it a bit more flyable on vatsim (for us who enjoy that) etc?

If you have a look at page 16 of the Manual (which is free and can be had here: http://www.flight-replicas.com/NorthStar_Home.htm ), you'll see that there is provision for using the existing VC radar screens in the military model with 3rd-party gauges. An invisible gauge poly is in place there over the existing radar screens, and so a 3rd party gauge radar can be placed in the scope using the panel.cfg, with any other knobs and panels being accessed through a 2D pop-up panel. The screen is round, so you may lose data if it's tucked into the corners, but you'd still have the 'big picture'.

(The DC-4 is still in development, and has a long way to go, but plans are to have both original and modern cockpit arrangements.)

I doubt that.
