    Anything from Manfred Jahn, hands down.

    How to classify it is up to debate but Just Flight's very well done Constellation is included with P3D.

    Manfred Jahn's version if you use it in FSX. Don't know if it works in P3D

    Hmm

    Is it possible to use aircraft from p3d into FSX?

    If I'm flying a Connie, it's Manfred's L749. I just find the older short ones more visually appealing. And with the usual port over stuff, it flies just as well in FSX as it did in FS9.

    Could not sum it up better than that.
    Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

    Hi NC..

    If the P3D model has been compiled with the P3D SDK (any SDK above v1).. no. P3D v1 was pretty much FSX with a different name but as the versions have progressed.. any backward compatibility has been lost. They'll crash FSX as soon as you try and select them.

    if as the OP requested, a 'super constellation', which in my mind implies a L-1049 or higher. The only freeware I know if is Manfred's. For payware the only real choice is the JustFlight with one of the expansion packs, as the base pack (which is in P3D) is just the 049. The A2A is also just a 049 and therefore not 'super'.

    Question of terminology, is an aircraft that comes with the sim payware or freeware? It's not freeware, you have to buy the sim to get it, but its not really payware, you don't pay extra to use it. I guess its just 'default'.
