FS2004 Lockheed L-1249A Turboprop. The L-1249A was the turboprop version of the Lockheed Super Constellation. Four were built for the USAF (YC-121F) and USN (R7V-2), which had considerably higher performance than the piston-engined versions. Full visual model with VC, new flight dynamics. For FS2004, works also in FSX. By Volker Bohme, Luis Pallas, Bill Tyne and Stefan Werner. Original model by Manfred Jahn.

Oh Yessss... I had some fun online with the older version in FS9! And it has a VC now too! Downloading it now.

Nice Christmas present!

Thank you Volker for pointing up the great upgrade to this amazingly beautiful and powerful machine. The VC really puts the icing on the cake (anyone had any lately?).

Been doing circuits at Edinburgh (Scotland) in all the crap weather we have been having and it performs like the rock solid professional it is.

The Connie is always so easy on the eye and with the conversion to turbo prop performance in all flt regimes is so good with that great reserve of power as a comforter during take off and landings. Shame that turbo prop engines in the early days did not establish quickly the reliability required. Plus 'The Jets' were already on the way.

Thanks again for a marvellous Xmas surprise when I returned from the family duty round.

Hi tjsdn1375,

no, FS9 model only, sorry.

Best regards,

Mal, if you look through the documentation on the later radial powered Connie releases, there is actually prop reversed modeled into the system. If the throttles are at idle, and the props are flattened (Ctrl+F1), you can push them into the negative by hitting Ctrl+F2 and then increase the throttle to either slow your rollout or push back from the gate (depending on weight). I can't remember if the pitch goes back to normal when the throttles are brought back or not - it's been a while. And I also use an X-52 that has a button that I set for reverse. The rotaries on the throttle are set for pitch and mix, so it's easy for me to get in and out of reverse pitch.

Disclaimer: It's been a while since I fired up my Sim, so Volker is more than welcome to correct me if I'm off on these procedures.

There is a patch over at FlightSim for the Turbo Connie that fixes the landing lights which did not appear
in panel and VC view in the previous version uploaded Dec. 2015.

Hi,

you can also click the prop reverse buttons to engage prop reverse.

Best egards,
