BradB Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 After some very encouraging comments from Nick C about this aircraft , I pulled the trigger and purchased it last night . After some trail and error and figuring out the Gust Lock removal , I was off flying over the Florida panhandle dodging T-Storms . Thanks again Nick !! . Have a great week mates !! .

olderndirt Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 After discharge at McChord Field, I rode one of these from SeaTac to Stapleton - stopped at Portland, Pendleton, Boise, Salt Lake and finally Denver. They ran out of barf bags - what a ride. How many crew do you have and can you sluff off the 'busy-busy' stuff to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike2135 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Wow that looks really nice inside! All we need now is for Orbx to do a retrospective of the golden era and build an airfield and town with 1930's objects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Amazing John. Maybe someday for me, I like it and how study level it is but I have enough already. Besides, these old birds don't have avionics and I'm an avionics nut as it was my job for so long. With the Connie I always fly with the guys doing most of the work. It looks like PMDG did a similar thing. How's the navigation gear? Can you put a GPS in it? Or is it VOR to VOR and ADF? These flight call for real wold maps to be sure. But sometimes I like that. Maybe someday I'll buy it after the 777. By the way, that last shot in the clouds looks awesome, is that a cumulonimbus forming behind you?

Hey Jack : here are two shots regarding the NAV gear : And yes that was a mean CB that I avoided . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Thanks John, it's nice they included some avionics. I know they didn't fly with these in the 40's but they probably do now so it's good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
