couple of Connie 749 questions...

[ejoiner]

in the newly updated 749 short nose and the radar versions, My VC doesnt have seats... is that correct because it seems odd.

Also, is there going to be a converted military model?

Hi,

Try this one, the seats seem to be there now. Same link.

There may be a converted military model, but not until someone tells me they want it AND the specific model folder they would like converted. And then I may try.

I Tom, I would very much like to have a military model of the L-749 particularly of the VIP model used as Columbine, the Eisenhower AF1 bird.

I dont see a link above in your post?

I think he means the links he posted in the original thread. Indeed, when you open it, there's a new model file there dated 11 Jul - so I assume that's the one. Am at work now and can't confirm, but just assuming based on the dates.

Here's the post, with the link:

Hi,

Sure, since you asked so nicely.

Here is a package with both the TWA radar nose and EAL non-radar 749s in it.

Thanks DL. I did find it...

I just tested the new models and YES seats are there.

Hi,

I don't have those VIP liveries installed, so I still don't know which model you are interested in...

Tom, sorry for confusion, but the USAF connie above is for the MATS Connie 749, which would be great to have.

[Tom/CalClassic]

OK. I'll Try the usaf_a model instead, since it's the improved version. I checked and it looks OK in the MATS livery.

[ejoiner]

Perfect!! thanks Tom!

Hi,

I have updated the 749s to add a military version and fix the rudders, which were all rotating the wrong way. Same link.
