Seem some time back there was an Australian group that completely restored a Connie flying it back to Australia. There was a video or TV show about it. The group is called the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society. Here is a short YouTube video of the Connie. Click HERE!!!

Yeah HARS have it as one of their major show pieces and fly it out of Wollongong (YWOL) its a shame A2A did model any of the long nose Connies

Now, it's done. Nothing else to wish for anymore.

Oh,wait! Wasn't there a PMDG DC-6 on short final also ?...

If there ever was a Merry Christmas this one sure is !!!

Btw, nice screenie, Matt ! Is there anything manmade more beautiful and esthetically pleasing flying thru the air than this ??.... Personally i can't think of anything..

Cheers,
Jan

Milviz was hoping for a 2016 release for the beaver but now it looks doubtful.

What about an updated illuminated VC C47!!!!!!

The Connie is fantastic,by the way.

Happy christmas everybody.

My family just got it for me. A quick flight with 2 touch and go's and a full stop landing, this thing is a work of art! My first two landings were not terrible but not great but my last landing was a greaser. It'll take a bit of getting used to for sure.
Thanks to A2A for getting the Connie to us this Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas!

If you do a barrel roll can you hear the passenger scream?

Easy enough to reverse, invert the textures , Great thing Alan has paint stripped the Connie giving others a go at adding the numerous 049 paints, only 88 production aircraft .

Yesterday evening, I was flying the Connie getting to know the systems and things and finally decided to take it on a short cross country flight from my home field (KILM) to KGSO which is about 152nm. Took it up to 20,000ft for the short cruise and ran the entire flight by VOR Nav and using the vintage Autopilot. Made it with no issues. I did also test the GPS and pop-up FSX A/P and it tracked perfectly. The latter will work great for those who find the vintage Nav and A/P gear a bit of a handful. The way the vintage Nav, A/P, and instruments are coded & work, once you get used to it, it's pretty cool and intuitive.
