mutley 4,488 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Fantastic debut Rosario :mrhappy: Those shots are top notch and I really enjoyed the commentary, thanks for taking the time to present them so well. Another great choice of aircraft, one of my favourites, tell the captain it's about time he gave up smoking :mrhappy: Thanks for getting the baton safely to Lippstadt :roll: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

rosariomanzo 545 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 My inpiration for smoking in the Connie's cockpit (even if captain is smoking Chesterfield here :mrhappy: ): SCL7FglFapY "Flying, this is the life!" :roll: P.S. I think this is a very interesting video, showing real operations in the Super Constellation and a very nice navigation lesson. If you have time, enjoy the first part also. :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites

vacs007 0 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Brill set of shots there, and an excellent choice of aircraft, by far one of my fav passenger liners. Which model is that and does it have a decent VC? Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 It is one of those "better than payware" free aircrafts, produced by FSDZigns, you can find it here: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=53611 There is also the same version for FSX/SP2 here: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=116371 It doesn't come with a VC.
