    Great!
    The Greg Pepper/Tom Gibson masterpiece still is alive and kicking!
    Just downloading, but as far as I can tell from the pics, Hans and Georg did a great job with this upgrade and relaunch!

    Can't wait to crank up those mighty Double Wasps!

    Cheers,
    Markus.

    Looks fantastic. Thanks for the HU.

    Just to clarify: the VC is unchanged from the previous CalClassic releases, correct? I wasn't sure if they were re-textured, etc (I'm away from my FS computer for the next several days...just curious).

    Thanks!

    One of my favorites for FS2004. The American Airlines version is near and dear to me. My Mother was a Stewardess for American in the 1950's flying the CV-240. :mixedsmi:

    Pete,

    The Convair 240 and the C 131A (at least the ones I flew in) had P & W R 2800 radial engines. There are a couple of sound packs for this engine in our archive files. If you can't get the recommended file from above, try one of the files here.

    Here is the page with all of Lawdog's sound files:

    His B-26 sound set might be a good start to get your C-131A up and flying. It duplicates a twin R-2800 installation.

    Sorry about that Pete. Hopefully they will upload the sound pack again.

    The sound file should be up on AVSIM soon. These sounds are quite good. Check out the youtube video for the Convair 240.
