Oh please keep them coming - everything on page 6 is a screensaver !
I have only been flying GA in MSFS for a few reasons so hadn’t bought the Connie even though
I am a fan of Lockheed aircraft. Going to get it now along with your paints even if only
to do walk arounds and take screenshots - maybe get the engines started.
That Seaboard and Western livery is especially fine !
TDR,
That new Seaboard & Western is incredible. What a beautiful airline paint scheme.
I had to look that one up, not having heard of them before. Reading their history, it sounds like you could fly those colors almost anywhere, like picking up elephants in Africa. :-)
"One early flight transported 133 animals, including 6 baby elephants, from Singapore and Bangkok to New York."

cheers Banjo.
Gonna download that one .
The quality of the repaints showing up here is pushing me towards purchasing it.
I have a technical question re the Autopilot/Gyro system.
The Manual says:
"2. VOR (middle setting) enables autopilot to track VOR’s for cross country navigation using NAV1 radio."
My question is - can a flight plan of some sort be set up that includes several VOR's & can the aircraft, when the AP is engaged per 2 above, follow a VOR to VOR series, that is not in a straight line, or do you fly one VOR to VOR, then retune NAV1 to fly to the next VOR?
Which is a round about way of asking if the L1049 AP can follow a flight plan that is not a straight line?
You have to fly VOR to VOR and tune the right frequencies and dial the correct radial. There is no GPS like direct navigation. Much more fun this way! You can make a flightplan in MSFS; VOR to VOR. Take a note of the VOR and their frequencies.
You can of course set a heading on the autopilot, compensate for wind and follow the direct line on the map. But this is cheating....
Well.
I took to the piggy bank with a crow bar after succumbing to the videos on YT & the liveries displayed in this forum.
I did hesitate, with the BAE 146, MD80, AH DC-3 & perhaps the PMDG 737 in the prospective purchase pipeline, and thereby an expensive couple of months in the offing, but I pulled the trigger & "Je Ne Regrette Rein", or whatever Edith said.
Currently flying on AP from Louisville to Chicago Midway & what a delightful & elegant aircraft this is.
Learning as I go with the flight on 1 screen & the manual on the other.
A question, should there be a modicum of flame showing in the exhaust pipes, or none, when cruising?
I have been tweaking the mixture & prop & MP & now have the spectacular 3' flames down to a shadow of themselves.

I am not a fan of the dents in the paints so far for the connie. I saw this one and like the cockpit colors and the gloss, but then saw the bump and I've seen this on several paintsa, it looks like it has been through a hail storm That plane needed a smooth surface. Those bumps are silly
New update with some epic failures (did that rudder thing actually happen?)...

I like the cockpit update as well. May have to think about this one.

It's very close, but they wanted to wait for SU9 to drop so they can test thoroughly against it.
