An interesting French twin engined airliner.

I recently acquired a nice FS model of the Sud Ouest 30P "Bretagne" .
A plane I had not seen before but that caught my eye when browsing around some Flight Sim Sites.
It can be downloaded as "donation ware" from the site of J.R. Lucariny
(As you probably know he made some very nice aircraft for Flight Sim like the Lockheed L188 Electra II)

I of course had a look and found some info on the internet......
The "Bretagne" (developed from the smaller SO 30N "Bellatrix") could carry up to 40 passengers, had a range of 826 miles (1330 km) and a service ceiling of 21,325 ft (6500 m)
During the fifties a number of French orientated airlines operated the "Bretagne" on their specific routes - Air France, Air Maroc, Air Algerie, Aigle Azur (Indochine), Air Laos.
Later it was mainly the French Air Force and Aeronavale (Navy) that flew the type.

J.R. Lucariny's model carries the livery of Spanish "Iberia" but I just finished a repaint for it in the colors of Air Algerie.
Also added a bit of detail to the fuselage (seams, rivets, etc.)

Here are a few screen shots.
Enjoy,
Jaap

Looks interesting enough to DL .... if there is a VC.
The pax windows may be set just a tiny bit too high when compared to this picture here:

There also appear to have been an option for underwing auxilliary jets for extra power on TO.

Sorry guys, there's no VC
And there is just a simple fwd view 2D cockpit.
But I liked the model so much, being a rarely seen aircraft, I had to get it

Cheers,

I assume you can donate what you want, but the Donation page says "International Donations 20,00 dollars".

Hope this helps,

info page on Bretagne here:

Correct, it's up to you what you want to pay.
I paid 13,00 dollars, that's about 10 Euro.
You get a download link sent to you and you can get your aircraft.

Like to commission revised nacelles and prop hubs.

It would be nice to have it in Air Algerie repaint. What do you think?

And a 1940s-50s panel. (not the current one based on the FS9 default King Air, please)

Hi Jaap,
Thanks for uploading the Air Algerie textures to Flightsim.

[spraycan]

My pleasure Bernard.
Glad you're having fun with her

I have not found many other detailed civilian decorations - only French Air Force and Navy.
But those can be nice too of course
I could try the Air France livery later though.
Use the picture that 'circleman' found

Regards,
Jaap

Since J.R. Lucariny's website does not exist anymore it seems to be impossible to get his aircraft. I am especially looking for the Sud Ouest SO30 Bretagne he created some years ago. Does anybody know where I can get this aircraft? Any tip on how to get this wonderful airplane for FS2004 is highly appreciated.
