FSX/P3D Continental Convair CV-440

FSX/P3D Continental Convair CV-440. Part of the CalClassic Archive Project. Belatedly intended to compete with the Vickers Viscount, the CV-440 Metropolitan made its airline debut with Continental in March 1956. With a significant maximum weight increase this allowed the CV-440 to make full use of 145 Octane AVGAS in R-2800 engines configured as CB-17s. Weather radar in an extended nose became optional. The earlier, less than fully successful and noisy, twin exhaust thrust augmentation system gave way to a much quieter single wide exhaust. Of the 199 built just over 150 went to airlines. Military and naval designations were C-131D/E/F and R4Y-2. One hundred civilian and military CV-340s were then upgraded to a similar standard. This is the FSX/P3D CV-440 Base Pack, add other liveries to this package.  Requires the FSX/P3D CV-340 Base Pack for panel and sounds. By Greg Pepper, Tom Gibson, Wayne Tudor, and FSAviator
