Lockheed L 1649A Starliner

The commuter plane of the 50's

This plane was used as either a cargo or passenger plane, this is a passenger variant painted in the Lufthansa livery.

I tired to make this plane as 1 to 1 as I could with exceptions of sw limitations. this plane has an altitude hold on board, radar (tho probably not period correct to have onboard radar) and basic instruments that come in a 50's era plane. Top speed is about 150kph (I may try and tweak this). Range I would say is around 58km give or take. the plane has a full interior, and some cargo access doors. The aircraft does have heaters for Artic trips.

Note: Brakes are automaticly on so when you flip the switch on the brakes are off
Another Note on the controls I do not use default controls cause who uses arrow keys, I generally use shft and
ctrl as pitch up and down, ws doesn't do anything q and e are my yaw controls. note war thunder key bindings.

Hope you enjoy,

All feed back is welcomed on how to make it better,
I will see if I can boost its power though I do think its
a prop issue but I don't want to deviate its look for
performance as much as I would like to.

Updates: I have updated this around october 21. planes top speed is officially 160 kph-ish, I've tweaked as much as I can, engine cooling seems to have been solved for the most part. I plane on building modular engines on it when I get/feel the time to update it more. I have updated the cockpit design, I have also located the engine buttons to the center they are push button starts, so hold until engine has started.

I will be updating this to use modular engines. I just haven't gotten around to that.

Thanks for all the feedback and help, and once again thank you sky for making this more known. Might do another lockheed build in the future, also hope to collab with sky on a build seeing I am not compitent enough in logic systems, though he is busy.
