I've pinched a Convair 440 , FS 2002 model, from Sim V's Library to try out this morning in my FS 2004...
I cant cope with "Passenger Jets", so I'll see how I get on with the Radial Engined, Tricycle Type... ::)...!

I found a 340 for FS9 here if you want to try it. http://www.simviation.com/simviation/static.php?ID=84&page=5

Ta, Doug... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...

"Convair 440"

Tricycle.

Couldn't find a specification of it anywhere though...Engines; Make, Model, etc...;)...

Paul... 8-)...!

Edit: Engines; Pratt and Whitney R-2800-CB-16?

Picked one up from here....FS2002 Model... http://simviation.com/fs2002props45.htm



off topic slightly non radials but have you tried the CV 880/990's from HJG?

They look suspiciously like passenger "Jet Liners"!... :o...

Which I try, if possible, to avoid like the Plague... ;)...!

It it hasn't got a fan(s) up the front, (or behind), I quickly lose interest!...;)...!

Paul..G-BPLF..FS 2004...FS Navigator...and a can of Avgas/Mogas... ;)...!

.... ;D....!

...a default "Learjet" is my last resort!... ::)...!

There is just something about those old twin radials that really makes me love to watch . . .

Requisition a fresh ALPHASIM F7-F Tigercat and have a ball. Twin radials and a full VC. Beautiful airplane. It's in these pages for your downloading and flying pleasure...

I gave the Sim V, Convair CV-340 a try-out yesterday, but she is a very heavy old bird, necessitating a very long runway to get safely (and slowly) off the ground, so that limits my usual flights to and from most of my Airfields using her.... :'(...!

It's a real struggle to get her up into the air before the runway disappears!.... :o... A real, last-minute, Bum-clencher!....;D... ;D...!

Paul...Back to my Trusty Beech Baron.... ;D...!

I'm well used to the old; "Bum-clenching" routine, on unexpectedly sharp corners, and icy roads, on my Motor-Bikes!... :o... :-[.... ;D...!

Successful, short-field take-offs in unsuitable Aircraft, only work when your discover, later, that there are no Leaves and Birds Nests, in the Tyre treads...;)...!

Paul.... ;D... ;D....!

I can't speak for the accuracy of that flight-model (it's probably pretty good)..
