L-049

Post by theophile »

Hey you guys at A2A!

Thank you so much for the wonderful L-049.I have been a simmer since FS2(!) and have purchased allmost all the major software for FS and P3D.
But this plane is really special.I always had a fondness for the Constellation and there have been really great ones out there,like Jahns' connies but
A2A just went one step further.I just cannot believe how good this plane is.Where do I start?The first Sperry autopilot that really works?The unbelievable sound
set?The excellent flight model?I could go on and on,but you get the picture.Also noteworthy is that I could land the Connie at FlyTampa Hongkong VHHX scenery at
it highest resolution without the slightest problem.Creating this beauty is a dream come true for me.Thank you so much

Been simming since 1987. The Connie is pretty much all I fly now.

You guys are late to the party ;)

No OOM with 48K of ram, baby! It only took 2 or 3 minutes to load via cassette.

What I enjoyed was the fact that map you see actually continued although unrendered. But if you flew in one direction for 36 miles you came to the other side of the map.

And yes, these aircraft are great fun.
I just started with the B377. A new smile has formed.

I'm in love with the Cessna 172, I flew 500 hours on it, but ... Now only Connie, I drowned in the Constellation. These sounds, background, great dynamics, atmosphere. A2A - Accept my huge gratitude, you made me a homebody :mrgreen:

Best prop airliner that was ever modeled for a flightsim, bar none.
