Initial experience is positive. AI checklist-driven procedures appear effective and I have taken off and descended using them. The newly-installed DME display will greatly assist VOR navigation. Only issue I have is that a QANTAS livery which was visible with the previous version is no longer so. I suspect this is due to the updated paintkit so I am confidant someone will create a new one soon.

Thanks for the report. Are you able to see an upgrade to the textures?

IMO that’s one of the big lacking places (compared to, say, the DC-6) but I’ve seen the devs mention upgrading both interior and exterior so I’m hopeful it will get up to that next-gen level

Textures are great, inside and out. Metallic reflections on the external model, especially the Air France livery, are very realistic and up to the standard I had hoped for.

Will the textures in the passenger room also be updated? That would be swell. At the moment this part looks a bit shabby in my view.

Loved the preview of 1.8 :wink: L-1049 REDWING UPDATE 1.8 - YouTube

This video not only shows cool stuff but is also quite funny. It reminds me of the trailers for “My Summer Car” :smiley:

Hi, I installed the latest update but it’s not possible to move the aircraft. Chocks are removed, parking brake is released but the aircraft is not moving - i have no idea why ! (even when I use the the status “ready for takeoff”)

Just downloaded from the MS store and tried to take my first flight. However, the aircraft does not move when you release the brake and throttle up…chocks are removed…please advise.

Have you had any luck with the Connie? I seem to have the same problem with the sim. I have replicated the tutorial videos and the aircraft responds but does not budge.

I do that with my glasses all the time… “Oh, man, they’re on my head”… and my keys… “really, they’re in my hand???”… and my phone “Geez, I’m talking on it, that’s why I can’t find it”…
