Connie FDE
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2003 7:54 pmAnyone else been flying Mike Stone's Super Connie and had big overstressing problems like me?
In reality these old girls were tough as old boots (they were based on the lessons learned from building bombers in WW2 after all) so overstressing when taking off and climbing at 900 ft/min and 175 kts is unlikely to say the least. Also these old propliners weren't at all twitchy like light aircraft on approach and landing.
I've re-done the fde and got something which I think is much more realistic (the panel as well so everything works properly - but that's another story). I'm thinking about uploading the fde like I did for Mike's Airbus but before I do, if anyone likes these old birds and would like to try out the files, can they let me know. I'd be grateful.
