Lockheed L-749 Constellation

4,053 prankstergangster360  2.5 years ago

This plane was one of the first models kits i had, it still hangs from the celing of my room to this day. I tried to make a replica of it in simpleplanes and it turned out to be this. I tried to make the cockpit look as authentic as possible, some parts may not be like the real Constellation. I also wanted to put some lighting on the plane, it has Taxi lights, position lights and collision lights (I do not know what all of them do exactly but i searched the positions of the lights and put them on this plane). The painting on this plane resembles the model i have in my room, a KLM version. This plane also has seperate engine control, but i do not know if the plane can fly on less than 4 engines because it is very heavy.

Controls:
- Engines (ag1, 2, 3, 4, from left to right respectively)
- Position lighting (ag5)
- Collision lighting (ag6)
- Taxi lighting (ag7)

    @RandomThingzYT mine says that as well yes, allthough a bit weathered because it is an old model.

    Not bad! However the plane was a bit chaotic to take off and this is my personal presence but having auto center off for the camera would be nice for future reference
