Save a Connie flight simulation

Lockheed 1049H Save a Connie Constellation
-----------------------------------------
Fully animated with new texture and additional detail from
previous versions thanks to these two great programs: Abacus' Aircraft Factory 99
and Aircraft Animator by Konstantin Kukushkin.

This aircraft was produced by Dave McQueen, August, 1999.

New in this L1049H Simulation. Ailerons, elevator, rudders, flaps, and landing gear are fully animated. The fuselage has been redrawn with a 12 sided cross-section. Engine nacelles have been completely reworked. The cockpit area has been redesigned as well. The wings and elevator have been re-textured to simulated panels and rivets; the TWA paint scheme has been done over from scratch with hopefully improved results.

I hope you enjoy flying the airplane as much as I have enjoyed putting it together.

Due to time constraints I CAN NOT advise on how to install
this add-on aircraft or explain why you are having problems
with it. For that I suggest you contact one of the many
flight simulation forums available on the Internet.
This simulation is FREEWARE. Don't pay money for it
For use with Microsoft's Flight Simulator 98 program.

You must have installed the MS Converter (fsconv98.exe) in order
to use this airplane. You can download the converter if you need it from:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/deskapps/games/public/flightsim/fsconv98.exe Download it into a temp directory, run the EXE file, and follow the online
instructions. It needs only to be installed one time.

L1049H Installation: Unzip the file you downloaded to your AIRCRAFT folder under Flight Simulator 98. I suggest you download a constellation panel of your choice to substitute for the default Cessna panel. Also download some "big prop" sounds to replace the Cessna sound.
You can find these add-ons at: Flightsim.com

For detailed instructions as to how to go about installing a new panel

History

The 'Constellation' and 'Super Constellation' were among the last of the great prop-driven airliners just before the jet age began in civil avia- tion. In 1939 Lockheed began with the development of the L-49 as a large four-engined civil aircraft. When the USA entered WWII, the concept was changed to the military transporter C-69, which first flew in January 1943. After the war the design was converted back to its original role, and the first L049 Constellations were put into service with Pan American Airways in 1946. The characteristic long slender fuselage and the triple tailfin of the Constellation could soon be seen at all major airports of the world. The long range and the pressurized cabin made the Constellation superior to most of her rivals. In 1951 the improved version, the L-1049 Super Constellation, saw service with Eastern Airlines. The L-1049, which had a longer fuselage and more power, went through many different versions, the last of which were the L-1049G and the passenger/freight version L-1049H. More than 600 Super Constellations were built.
The Constellation flown by the Save a Connie group is a model "H". Originally registered as N5400V by LAC, it was used by Slick Airways as N6937C first in 1957. Airlift International bought it in 1966. SAC group rescued it from the Arizona boneyard in 1986. It became the "Star of America"
