Mike has made a wonderfull model of what I guess in real word was a wonderfull aircraft.Nevertheless it lacks the prop pitch reverser wich is in the real plane...
I notice this problem in others models of DC4,DC6,DC7 and Dove.I believe that
PPR is very important to step descent in planes with low ratio weight/wing area as the ones mentioned. Is possible any solution? Embarrassed

I am unaware that any of those great propliners you mentioned had a reverse function in real life.

He's right as far as I know (which is about nothing) none of the constellations at least had prop reversers on them.

I don't know about the others but the DH 104 Dove & Douglas DC-4 were not fitted with reversible props.

PS. The Super Constellation definitely was. http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19630528-1&lang=fr

This is perhaps best asked in the Aircraft Design forum - just in case anyone can come up with a mod for this appreciative & positive suggestion for one of Mike's great aircraft.

It will probably be overlooked here by anyone who may be able to help..

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

I asked a guy that at best has a fetish with connies, and he said, and i quote
"the 049 didn't, some of the 649's didn't, all the 749's did and all the 1049's did"

I have the Stone models Wink

and with the bit that i know about .air files and .cfgs i couldnt replicate it

What do I do you ask? I struggle! Then destroy! Then try to put back together what I just broke on accident.....&&&&&&&&&& The GMax effect The GMax effect
