She is one of the legends of aviation.
The L1049 was the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic in one go. An advanced comfort and technology including a former ILS or a live engine analyzer, as well as a majestic fuselage, earned it its letters of nobility.
Her nickname is Connie or Queen of the skies many years before the 747.

Review it now!
External model and internal model are both great quality, no issues.
I can't wait to fly on the cargo version. Very good plane! Everything else is just the dust of Brazilian roads...
Best Regards Andrey.

All the complexity and fun of the Connies has been catch up by Redwing team.
And with more fixes and upgrades it will become a 5 star plane for MSFS
Thank you REDWING SIM team and keep up the good work!
Hope in some texture improvement. Let's wait and see.
That said, this is definitely an early access product. Especially needs a lot of work in the aesthetic department which for me is a huge deal. Model, textures, and exterior sounds are subpar at the moment. Only buy now if you're a Connie superfan like myself. Otherwise, you might be better off waiting for the finished product.
Very impressive!
Textures could be improved, but this is not the last version, I believe.
Highly recommended!
Merci de me redonner de l'émotion pour cette avion.
