Hi All,
As some forum readers may know, I'm organizing a FlightGear booth again at the upcoming FSWeekend at Lelystad Airport (EHLE). Like last year, I would like to show case the Constellation again. I am wondering whether there have been any additions / changes to this fine aircraft since last year. I checked Buckaroo's website, but the latest version I could find is from August 2009, which is the same version as the one we demo'd last year.
Also, considering that EHLE is host to one of the few remaining Connies in the world that is still in flying condition (owned by the Aviodrome museum that hosts FSWeeken), I'm wondering whether we shouldn't seek to establish some sort of collaboration between the maintainers of the real constellation and us. I'm not sure if, and if so, how much I can do, but last year we had a former maintenance worker from KLM visiting our booth, who was really interested. Perhaps if we work on the "in exchange for some performance data we keep the Connie alive by building a better simulator, we might get something going.
Regardless of that, I'm still convinced that this is already one of the better aircraft models.
Cheers,
Durk
