Lockheed L-1649A Starliner, Version 2.0
| Rating: 4.8!
Last and most illustrious in the series of Constellation designs, the Starliner was designed to fly Los Angeles-London and Paris-Tokyo in 20- plus hours non-stop. Providing accommodation for ninety-two tourist- class or twenty-six first-class and forty-five tourist-class passengers, the Starliner entered service with TWA in May 1957. Other major operators included Air France and Lufthansa. Model, textures, and VC by Manfred Jahn, panels and gauges by Hansjoerg Naegele, effects and flight dynamics by Roland Berger, documentation by Howard Sodja. Special features in version 2.0 include wing views, "inclined wheels" nose-wheel steering, simplified reversing procedure, clickable sunshades, backlit VC gauges, new flight dynamics, detailed reference and checklist documents, period-style cockpit voices, and an early TWA texture. Also included is the "squeaking brakes" effect created by Diego S. Barreto. See the Starliner project threads at calclassic.proboards55.com for repaints, questions and comments, and general feedback.

Why there is no double-digit ratings? I put 20 for a full VC and for the entire plane. Yes, it requires running start to take off no less than 8000 ft (92 Pax and baggage, 42690 pounds of fuel, trimmer PB 4.9, the pressure in the pipe 55-57 pounds psi), but after dialing a speed of 130 knots wheel can not pull to climb - he will do). Separate a dozen for Sustainability at altitudes of more than 10 thousand ft: autopilot can be no use and easy to keep the wheel for hours on end, this is my first time (even a Cessna Caravan or a Dash-8 do not ottrimmiruesh to manage the mental effort of fingers at an altitude of FL210).

Cupersky aircraft. Five is the minimum score that it can deliver. A maximum score would be -10 - would not hesitate to set. When you take off slow but it just felt all his charm. I used to fly passengers on the An-24 so that I too quickly climb-uncomfortable.

1500-1700 ft / min - is a slow recovery? But accelerated during the takeoff run is really not in a hurry.

The first version did not see, but if you evaluate the aircraft, then he made quality at a good professional level. And the cover and the dynamics, everything works fine. The first time I saw a full-fledged flight engineer panel piston aircraft. A good virtual cockpit. Sounds prestigious. And evaluation "THREE" is clearly not objective. If the aircraft is «three», a lot of our work and the «number» is not pulling. I advise all to download and plunge in the era of 1950's. Airplane decent.

A view of the wing and the engine is in the tub? If so, then download and five. Although the five-set in advance. I love the old planes, they are as old Baba Perda, Skripov, stinks, but still brought with itself not skidyvayut because: "And suddenly vposledny time to drive the piston in tselindre.

Flaps in the position Takeoff, elevator trimmer 4.9 and at a speed of 110 knots gently pull the wheel itself.
