well she's actually moved on a bit since those shots were taken...

What a beautiful aircraft! Great work, Baz!

But please remove the FSX default DC-3 Sperry gauge from the cockpit! That looks quite odd

Btw. in the last JustFlight newsletter was a link to a nice preview video of the Connie.

Greetings

That does look good, however, I have one very heartfelt plea though, how often (apart from films with Humphrey Bogart from 1941) do you ever get airline pilots wearing their caps in flight?

So many (MS are as guilty as any) FS aircraft show pilots wearing full uniform and caps, it does not happen, the headphones bend the cap so out of shape, that even if someone did wear them, the cap would be a different shape. Just bare heads and headsets look so much more realistic!!

I think from your superb latest screenshots I detect some caps worn?

I checked out all the screenshots on the site and they look
really promising!

I noticed that on a couple of the FE shots the 'crew door'
is shown. I do hope that it will be able to be opened
so that the FE can count blades on #3 & #4 whist starting
them. ( A procedure I actually was allowed to do when
an aircrewman on NC-121J Connies in Viet Nam.
Our FE let me 'start her up' a couple of times )

I'm particularly interested in the Super Connie versions
as those are the types I logged alot of hours in, albeit in
the 'back end'

Calypsos is right.

No one ever fly's with their uniform hat on. Sometimes a guy will wear a baseball cap....but never a uniform hat. No way.

**Nick C** · June 27th, 2009, 00:22

That's coming along nicely Baz, good job.

I spent most of my time in the back end also, flight technician, radar, radio,nav. Loved the flight time, especially the engine test hops if I needed flight hours back in Barbers Point

Glad to hear she's still going!
