Thanks for your feedback fellows

This plane is not a celebrity although it had a quite long career between 1948 and 1972. This FS2004 freeware is very nice but a bit tricky
to fly.

There is "something somewhere" to do to get full PA function. In some 6 flights, Once I had all functionalities (alt, heading, nav).
Otherwise, just the nav function was available. This make things quite difficult as any wind change, turbulence or heading change mess
up the trim balance and then it is quite a job to restore a constant altitude and speed.

The performances are slightly below what they should be. The theory gives
Maximum cruising speed............225 knots
Long range cruising speed.............185 knots
Ceiling………………..………….24,000 feet
Best climb speed………………130 Knots

It is OK with the climb speed but wrong with the cruise. At 16000 feet, the overspeed threshold is at 170 kts. Or perhaps even less, during
last flight I am almost sure I was always below 165 kts, did not get overspeed warning but however had the -600 pens Worry

Perhaps some ;air tweaking specialists can help me how to restore the theorical specs above ?

Nice Pics Pierre.. Especially those black and white. They give an extra dimension to the use of "oldies" Smile

Depending on the versions and the web sources it goes from 1300 to 3000 nm. So it was not a "transatlantic" but mainly in use over
Europe , mediterranean countries, Magreb

Here is a Super 8 movie of an air show flight. Don't be affraid, what you hear is not supposed to be the engines of the plane but of the
movie projector Smile
