A2A Captain of the Ship 049 Constellation 12-Minute Promo

Here is a 12-minute look at the Captain of the Ship Constellation developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D

[@bachian]

Throwing money on screen and waiting for this beauty to be in my hangar.

[@Nidsleyalbino]

E eu vou ver a live dele! Será imperdível!

[@StevetheHunter560]

A2A is the best developing company out there!

[@Kev376]

@@UlrikBrun-ir7mh A2A are gods at what they do, PMDG is very detailed as well, and running just the 777 was hard with all the systems to do in 32 bit. I bet when they (PMDG) make their next aircraft they will be able to model flight characteristics better with the infinite ram they have access to now in 64 bit.

[@SebastianWoodard]

@@UlrikBrun-ir7mh I mean, VRS is acrtually pretty good as is PMDG. They could do some thing better, yes.

[@FunManRJ96]

This gives me motivation to get my flight sim computer back up and working properly

[@ShockwaveProd]

You know you want too!

[@paulhutton2511]

I love these videos about the Connie. This one is particularly good and you can hear your love aviation and the Constellation in your voice. I was Crew Chief of the RC-121D Super Constellation, Tail # 03-0552 now on display at Tinker AFB from 1963 to 1965. I noticed in this video that the engine start procedure is a little off. Engine #3 was started first because it had 2 DC generators. The engine had to turn through a certain number of blades to check for liquid lock before the mag switch was turned on (by the co-pilot) and once the mag was on, the engineer would feed in mixture very slowly allowing the engine receive a richer and richer mixture of fuel and air until it started. Once the engine was running smoothly the engineer would go to "full rich" on the mixture control for that engine. Primer was only used in extremely cold weather the get the engine running.

[@andysim232]

i threw my money at the screen and it bounced off and scared the cat....

[@wraith444]

I love how you can always hear your passion for flight in your videos; They feel more like love letters to aviation than product showcases.

[@ShockwaveProd]

A project without passion isnt one we would ever produce. Glad you like the video and hope you enjoy the simulation upon release.

[@wraith444]

I have no doubt that I will! Right now the challenge for me is remembering to switch back and forth between the accusim planes I already own so I don't damage anything by leaving one un-flown for too long... I really need to learn the correct way to store a plane long-term so I can spend a couple months really putting some energy into learning the Comanche through and through and not leave the Cherokee to rot.

This is just amazing! I cant wait to perform those iconic flights the L049 did.

[@ballingerfrench6304]

Captain, how soon can you land? I can't tell. You can tell me. I'm a doctor. No. I mean I'm just not sure. Well, can't you take a guess? Well, not for another two hours. You can't take a guess for another two hours?

[@ShockwaveProd]

hehe classic

[@Squog]

Got to love A2A vids narrated by Scott - it's like an Apple commercial! Wish you guys would post more videos in between product marketing!

[@Benedettini93]

Holy crap, Just as if B377 wasn't legendary product enough (even 7-8 years old now!) , now Constellation! I am speechless. Direct buy for me!

[@westofwahpeton4692]

I have been cruising in the B-17 lately so can't wait to jump into this, looks beautiful.

[@tomasolivieri1615]

A2A Addons are getting better and better. Mr . Scott tou really amaze me with all the passion , you put in all of your Products, Please, give a round of applause to all the staff on A2A. You're making our flights as real as reality..!!!! Greeting from Venezuela...!!

[@Mustang242Sqn]

It's looking amazing, well done Scott on yet another fantastic and very professional video production! The hard work and dedication of all of the A2A crew is clear to see in everything you do.

[@neucoas]

This is one of the most immersive addons i have ever see. The video is a master-piece. Congratulations A2A you have done it again.

[@AShadowboxsFSX]

Absolutely incredible work as usual guys. Beautiful and well put together video too! Can't wait!

[@signmanbob3834]

Beautiful video and absolutely outstanding looking aircraft. The Constellation really sets the standard of beauty for airliners.

[@coma13794]

Have taken my kids several times to see the Connie at Greenwood Lake, so it was a pleasant surprise to see it here. Scott, the attention to detail and passion that comes across is fantastic. Change nothing and keep up the great work. Keith

[@rogerdodgeraviation]

I think this is the first video that ever made me feel proud to be a flight simulator pilot.

[@IPGVirtual]

I love the passion you have for this. One of the last software developers to have that. Thank you for the hard work. Much support.

[@PeterMatthess]

Kick back and relax this winter's eve to the dulcet tones of the one and only Scott Gentile! :D FANTASTIC video sirs. Can't wait for release

[@gunningamerz]

Love it!! Can't wait to fly it. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@TheSkyLoungeTV]

Fantastic work once again team, you've perfectly portrayed the "Class" that aviation holds in its history. We can't wait!

[@KarlH1980]

A great choice to model! We have a Connie here in KC. Just love her lines. I've heard a lot of good things about how this all works together with the 377 for years. I'm looking forward to the next incarnation of the modeling of the flight engineer tasks.

[@mach037]

Only improvement needed is that during the gear retraction cycle the right main gear drops back down about 3/4 before coming up at the end of the cycle. This happened on every Connie takeoff I watched, and I watched hundreds. But I'm going to buy this anyway.

[@UkraineStar77]

My jaw is literally on the floor! A2A raising the bar once again.

[@stump182]

What a great video and a fine tribute to all the hard working pilots and crews.

[@Arixodia]

I'm usually into my modern military hardware for flight simming but you've 100% sold me on this aircraft. I can feel the passion that went in0to this project and I look forward to taking the Connie up!

[@maty1229]

Love that you guys picked the 049, always had a more classic feel to it. Look forward to buying.

[@ShockwaveProd]

Yes, the shape of the original is undeniable

[@SorcererDavesFlyingCircus]

It would've been enough for you guys to simply create a detailed simulation of the aircraft, but what I love is that you've clearly gone the extra mile to also try and capture the experience of what it must have been like to captain these aircraft back in the day. Superb stuff - both the history buff and the flight simmer in me are scrambling for their wallets! ;)

[@ShockwaveProd]

The Captain of the Ship technology has a bit of a cult following with our B377 Captain of the Ship simulation, it moves forward and to a new aircraft with our 049 Constellation simulation.

[@jeffreybryner1196]

Very well composed promo video. Looking forward to purchasing the Connie.

[@Barfra1995]

I don't usually feel attracted to the vintage airliners. I'm more of a glass cockpit guy, but this video made me fall in love with this aircraft. I'm seriously considering to buy it. Great job with the video!

[@petrwitt4585]

Simply WOW!!! A2A team proved once again, they are the best! Bravo and thanks for your Connie!

[@airportsmanchester]

As always WOW can't wait to put this in my A2A hanger with all the others

[@prinzeugen5048]

both are beautiful - the plane and the video

[@photo_rohan]

Probably the best simulation addon to date. Absolutely incredible!

[@Lattenknaller04]

This is not just a Software, it´s a Love Declaration! Thank you Scott !

[@TomsPlanes]

Amazing stuff guys, can't wait for this one. And just in time for the holidays :) -Tom

[@alexpaumen3937]

The Constellation is one of the most prestigious models I have in FSX. At first I was wondering why the engines weren't wanting to cooperate but I found on the day this comment was posted in fact that the carburetor vapor return was on I tried that and now the engines run as smooth as butter. Well done on this product. I hope you make a B-29 and DC-7/6 in the future. Happy flying.

[@podcastbunker]

Simply incredible

[@thedeathman97]

I was really Crying, i didn't flow, even see it. But you transmit your nostalgy for this Aircraft...

[@JonnyMainframe]

Alison has a nice singing voice! Can we expect an extended version with more of that song :-)

[@moiscotv]

i know, that song was fantastic

[@henrytischbein155]

What’s it called

[@MoisesSimana]

This video actually made me smile. Merry Christmas.

[@ShockwaveProd]

And Merry Christmas to you, have a great festive season and New Year

[@Tpkse11]

A2A Simulations you are Awesome!!! You keep our dream alive. Thank you

[@WilcoGroothand]

simply stunning aircraft. Have only one thing to say... WOW

[@Van-Hammer]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@md11x6]

Amazing vid of an incredible product. Great job!

[@arkady86]

Here we go again, Scott can build a guy's hype like no other person in the business... Damn it Scott, this baby looks gorgeous, just like every plane you guys have worked on before!

[@rononyango1848]

Great work at A2A simulations long live A2A :-)

[@elmar001]

This is the first FS addon that is genuinely scaring the shit out of me - and that is a good thing!

[@getreadyto7579]

Absolutely amazing!

[@zackdl]

This will be outstanding I can tell. I'll need to build up quite a few hours before i'll feel comfortable flying with passengers though. There's a lot to learn! :)

[@jonmabec]

Beautiful!

[@usflyer2008]

Love A2A planes. Don't have this one yet, but their Comanche and Cherokee planes are two of my favorites. I keep my fingers crossed for a twin-comanche or an Aerostar one of these days lol

[@TheSurvivorHero]

absolutely gorgeous !

[@elmin2323]

Wow nice didn't expect this!

[@Cervezabaer]

I am really looking forward to this beauty!

[@matheuspolato3599]

In my opinion, you're the best at creating fsx airplanes, I really love your job. Congratulations and God bless you 😉✌🏻️

[@dzenan9331]

A2A,amazing.Now I found how to fly on Flight Simulator X that Lockheed 049.I love it.

[@farisle6602]

Is it too much of a dream to see this beauty make an appearance in MSFS? Hope not.

[@saito125]

Mind blowing... bravo!

[@boomerdiorama]

What a classy Promo. So close to purchasing this ship. I have their Bonanza and it is incredible.

[@jwenting]

All engines working on landing, can't be a connie ;) Looking great.

[@abx.motors]

wow that looks amazing , good job as usual guys

[@CALEBMAESTRO]

The amount of care A2A puts into their aircraft never ceases to amaze me, especially given the limitations of the software they develop for. Take 9:57 for instance. You're not even there, but you can literally see and almost feel how heavy the controls are getting, and watch the plane buffet as it starts to stall. That's the level of detail they never cease to amaze me with.

[@BrunoSantos-zy2fu]

It's a incredible bird so beautiful!

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Whooaa... you guys are getting pretty slick with your videos. lol Gorgeous :D

[@codybaba1015]

Looks great!

[@TacticalOni]

Scott, you can describe paint drying and I'd be enraptured. Looking forward to giving her a spin!

[@isuckatsoldering6554]

You are the kings. Of both payware and presentation. You can own this market if you make your own simulator one day. -Said the guy who has no understanding of this market.

[@miked5562]

Dominance established. Bravo, A2A!

[@Nidsleyalbino]

Incredible!

[@richardchafey6048]

Another awesome aircraft. Congrats A2A

[@alexdimartino4192]

Wow! I'm a professional producer (TV and Commercials) and I'm seriously impressed by the level of this promo! It's perfect mostly in its narrative, then the edit flow is graceful, the text authoritative but gentle and competent, the voice over assertive and a dreamer ;-) very nice, congratulations. I'm not a usual commentator or easily impressed. Now, let's face the hard reality. I can't go back to MSFS/Prepar3d. I'm on X-Plane for some years now, and once you are there you can't go back to FSX, or similar. You must tell me that you are planning to publish this beauty for X-Plane, please? Please, follow PMDG example publishing the glorious DC6. Again, congratulation for the model and for the promo!

[@Abe_Hiroshi]

I saw this posted, and rushed to the store to buy, but alas : ( not yet...

[@ShockwaveProd]

Coming soon!

[@kennethmoureau5123]

Lol! EXACTLY what I did! I didn't even watch the video before looking :)

[@Oliver_JW]

The Hurricane fighter next? Please? The Spitfire is so lonely!

[@ShockwaveProd]

Sorry, no plans for a Hurricane at the moment

[@Oliver_JW]

:(

[@williambernard343]

This was by far my favorite aircraft to fly in p3d before my pc shat the bed. Such a rewarding experience flying this gem. Pilot Edge made it 10 x more fun vor hoping!

[@carlashby6174]

Fantastic

[@antares4s]

Very nice presentation. It was much harder back in the day to fly an airplane not like to days big jets where everything is computerized. Watch some of the old Army Training films here and get an idea of all that you had to do.

[@skyhawkpilot3608]

Amazing

[@myZisfantastic]

Scott could sell ice to an eskimo! By the way I love this graceful bird and I hope one day the Strat will come to P3D!

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

LOL If it comes to MSFS...take my money now! One of the most beautiful airplanes ever built.

[@janbadia8598]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. THANKS

[@henne7415]

absolute Unbelievable, amazing and awesome...

[@cray1996]

Really does look gorgeous, Not normally a fan of Airliners, but think shall be getting this. :D

[@ShockwaveProd]

Well its not your normal Airliner simulation, the career aspect is a real challenge. Piloting is one thing, being a historic 50/60's era Captain is another.

[@cray1996]

Sounds all good to me :D

[@shuklavinays]

YES..!! Finally...A wish come true :-)

[@Itsthenaynay]

superb

[@belarusaviation1222]

Very good video!!!

[@Rhinozherous]

OMG, I love it already!

[@Sky4Flyer]

Best planes for simulator ever/ Thank you A2A !

[@iflyc77]

Very impressive guys

[@JordanKingGaming]

The Connie! Can't wait!

[@Cessna152ful]

I CAN'T WAIT!

[@s3sellsword]

Looks great! also notice KPSP from ORBX. Great airport! :D

[@ShockwaveProd]

Yes, we chose this thanks to the community feedback on this thread: www.a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=56131

[@baytcelu]

Nice job. Will buy!

[@cyberdami]

Bravo A2A.... Bravo.....

[@Senor0Droolcup]

This is going to be great!!

[@ShockwaveProd]

Hope you like it upon release, its really a great change to the 377 Captain of the Ship

[@westofwahpeton4692]

Why do I just keep watching this?! I'm like a moth to the flame...

[@71stMastiff]

beautifull!!

[@bradsparks6008]

this guys voice is enough to make me buy a2a products

[@dro.1]

i really love a2a. THE BEST

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Oh Yeh! I'll be picking that baby up when its out for sure. :D Awesome plane.

[@cyberdami]

Just had to watch it again... My ultimate wish would be to have an A2A PBY Catalina ;)

[@user-ui5cr2yh6q]

You should get the Aerosoft PBY Catalina
