It's a freeware L-1049 found on flightsim.com. It seems to be a Mike Stone's model reworked by Wolfram Beckert. Unfortunatelly, somebody modified certain numbers in the aircraft.cfg, so that he turned the aircraft into a thristy and weak iron brick. On the other hand, these modifications are documented and can be reversed. After several hours of non AAS flying (no weather, "standard atmosphere") I tuned the model into something roughly similar to what is described here.
Sound is aliased to the CalClassic's L-049, because the original samples are distorted and the engine sound (especially internal - cockpit view) is somewhat unpleasant.
The panel included is very good and very similar but not identical to the CC L-049.
I think, that there are better L-1049 models. I used this one only because I was not sure if the L-049 is able to do the long NAM53 flight without refueling even under bad weather (strong headwinds) conditions. And due to keywords entered into the search form, the flighstim.com database revealed only this one.
And, of course, there is a payware Breitling Super Connie available here.
With only 40 legs to go, the finish line is almost in sight :wink:
