                Pan American World Airways Boeing Stratocruiser for FS2000-- 1958 Light Blue color scheme

                                    A joint effort by Dave McQueen and Rui Cristina

                                                    November 4,  2000  





                   

 This is a new B377 simulation updated from the basic model released in April, 2000.  It is textured for night lighting. Windows are illuminated, and it has  transparent cockpit windows.   Thanks very much to Rob Bennis of the Netherlands for his "tutorial" assistance that provided me the incentive to tackle this complicated transparent window project-- 19 windows in 3 rows. Whew! Enjoy!

This aircraft simulation is the latest upgrade to the Stratocruiser series that Dave McQueen has been making since 1996. It is intended for use with Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2000. It has full moving parts   This aircraft simulation took many hundreds of hours of time at the keyboard to coordinate the present state of the project.  This sim was made with Abacus' AF99 Aircraft Factory program and Konstantin Kukushkins' Aircraft Animator program. Activating the "O" key will turn on the strobe lights on the wing and fuselage. 



A custom made panel with a rear cabin view by Stephan Grille and modified for use with FS2000 by Dave McQueen is available from Dave & Rui's website at:



                    http://flightsimmers.net/airport/airliners/





Instructions as to how to install the panel in your Stratocruiser folder are contained there as well, courtesy of Tom Gibson' Classic Airliners web site.



You can also find there a set of Stratocruiser sounds that was included with  Claudio Pedrazzini sounds. Thanks Claudio!!
