What about a Super Connie? - HansHansen - 28.02.2009

It would be great to have a Lockheed Super Connstellation for Il 2.

In my opinion, its one of the most beatiful planes ever.

Is it would be great to have a transport and a civil version with windows and for example
a Lufthansa or Breitling skin.

Quote:With the onset of World War II, the TWA aircraft entering production were converted to an order for C-69 Constellation military transport aircraft, with 202 aircraft intended for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The first prototype (civil registration NX25600) flew on 9 January, 1943, a simple ferry hop from Burbank to Muroc Field for testing.[1] Eddie Allen, on loan from Boeing, flew left seat, with Lockheed's own Milo Burcham as copilot. Rudy Thoren and Kelly Johnson were also on board.

Lockheed also proposed its model L-249 which was to be a long range bomber. It received the military designation XB-30 but the aircraft was never developed or built. A plan for a very long-range troop transport, the C-69B, was cancelled. A single C-69C, a 43-seat VIP transport, was built in 1945 at the Lockheed-Burbank plant.

The C-69 was largely used as a high-speed, long-distance troop transport during the war.[7] Only 22 C-69s were completed before the end of hostilities, and not all of those entered military service. The USAAF cancelled the remainder of the order in 1945.

Why on earth would we need one of these!
It can't be used in game in any context.. and to be honest, If I want to fly it I'd just go to MFS!

I understand that in the context of this game its a very minor player but the following comment:

I gotta give a +1



I can remenber (as a young child) watching these birds with their red/white TWA colors at low alt. on their final looking so cool and modern.

My $0.02

Absolutely beautiful.. seen them flying in real life!
However. you can go to MFS and have a fly in one and rave at its beauty.. but theres no need for it in IL2 really

Beautiful plane, yes, I nearly cried when I saw it taking off at an airshow last week! But I have to agree with the comments about it being unneccessary in this sim.

Here, have this as a gift of appreciation anyway
