Millionaire's Restored Connie Now Available - With Flames

[Warbirds]

Description:
You are a millionaire and have always wanted a classic airliner. You bought a well used L049 Constellation and restored and updated it and now use it to fly to your favorite locations around the world. Your updated and modified engines will produce exhaust flames at high MP and your gps will keep you on track to your destination. This version depicts a brand new restored Connie and features modified smoke effects for more volume, exhaust flames at high MP, modified prop textures, matching stairs and stewardess and new executive interior with leather seats.

Note: The real Connie L049 did not produce such flames in stock form so my version is a fantasy restored version with upgrades. Exhaust flames only come on at high MP (around 43mp) and will linger for awhile at takeoff power until the FE gets around to bringing the MP back to under 35mp. That's my story and I'm sticking to it .

Available at SOH library and Flightsim.com library. Search for exact phrase "Paul Grubich" to find it.

Very nice! I hope someone restores one of these birds one day.

And what an amazing aircraft and livery it is!!!!



Just a "quickie", as it were ... now to explore it *properly*!

I *love* the VC too!

Here's another one - taken in the early morning:


The engineer kept complaining about something or other, so I asked Betty to introduce him to Grace Kelly (who just happened NOT to be on board, but he fell for it)!

Paul, will this be uploaded to flightsim.com as well?

[Warbirds]

Yes, I just wanted to make sure it was working ok before uploading to Avsim and Flightsim. I hope to do that today.

Got it. Thank you! I am assuming that I, as the lucky Powerball winner, don't have to sweat such mundane things as my flying career; all I have to do is fly wherever and whenever I want, and take whoever I want, with no screaming babies or groaning copilots. Hmm. Wish I could get Bernie and Nancy from my C-47!

Yes, your only passengers are of your choosing. I just took some famous team's cheerleaders from Dallas to Acapulco for some,,, er,,, sun and beach volley ball.

Just flew the airplane from Spokane (KGEG) to home base at Boeing Field (KBFI). Nice. No pressure. Just blasting along at 11,500 feet. Lately I've been neglecting the Connie, what with trying to make decent landings in my newly acquired T-6 and flying my Manfred Jahn C-47 home from Australia via island hopping, Alaska, etc. Thank you very much for this very nice paint job.

Well ... here she is!!!! The livery reflects my Polish ancestry, my home (NZ) and gives away my age!

No flames on this one - didn't want to mess up the new paint job!




Over Auckland:


My gurning avatar pinup - and I love the "Polish Pride" on the door!!!


Here's Betty waiting for passengers to turn up at Ardmore (NZAR). The Connie is parked in the spot usually reserved for the DC-3!




Many thanks, Paul - it's such a pleasure to have a livery painted for *me* for a change!! I love the attention to detail - especially with the pinup!

Thanks, it was fun making your custom one off and thanks for all the great screenshots. I made this livery somewhat generic in that I, or the user, could add custom N numbers and such later. Maybe another contest coming soon?

[Warbirds]

Ok, why not - next person to post a screenshot of themselves flying this livery (must own the Connie and my new millionaire paint) will get a custom version of this livery with N number of their choice, a few cockpit extras, and maybe some nose art, (but no cheerleaders included).

Now available at Flightsim.com and SOH libraries, search for exact phrase "Paul Grubich" to find it and my other Connie paints.
