J G 927 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Can anyone recommend a good four engine prop (not turbo-prop) aircraft for FSX? I would prefer it to have been used by the RAF, and to be post world war two. J Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 John I can recommend the Constellation (a beauty) and A2As Boeing 377 (a beast), neither served in the RAF but they both come with BOAC liveries. Edit. Sorry John, you said freeware. Jens B, Christensen did a freeware DC-4 in RAF colours. Link to post Share on other sites
Ruzzo 59 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 There's the Lockheed L-188 Electra, but that didn't serve with the RAF. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 John, the Aeroplane Heaven/Just Flight Provisioning Lancaster was on the cover disc of PC-Pilot a year or so ago, so I guess that's as near freeware as dammit. If you can't locate it, let me know - I'm fairly sure Martyn et al wouldn't mind you having it... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites

Kasper 14 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Avro Shackleton MR 3 over at Britsim. A lovely post war 4 engined prop plane used by the RAF.The Bristol Britannia, Jens B Kristensen, post war 4 engined (turbo)prop plane used by the RAF The Canadair Argonaut. Jens B Kristensen. RR Merlin powered version of the DC4. Post war, not used by the RAF but was used by the RCAF. BOAC also used them. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I like the sound of the Shackleton, when I was a kid my dad and I would go up to RAF St Mawgan and park ar the end of the runway. The Shackletons would tske off over our heads. Fantastic! Thanks Kasper! Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have downloaded a Shackleton and am generally pleased with it. However there is something wired about it. If I don't start engine 3 last, the aircraft starts to spin around quickly. has anyone seen this issue? J Link to post Share on other sites
Kasper 14 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 John, I don't have the issue you describe with the Avro Shackleton MR3 for FSX Acceleration I downloaded from Britsim. Do you have the same plane - and if so - do you have Acceleration? Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have the same aircraft as you and I have FSX with acceleration. In my previous post I said I don't start engine 3 last, the aircraft starts to spin around quickly. This is incorrect as it spins randomly and about 75% of the time when starting up. It seems to always happen before I get to engine 4 (the last to start). I think will download it again from Britsim (I cant remember where I got it from) and see if i get the same Issue.
