The Connie is almost $50 US now, and the PMDG DC6 which is a finished product that flies great is only $9 more. What are the going to price the Connie at when it is finished, more than the DC6. Good luck with that. 

The Connie fly's really well once you get used to the systems, it just needs some fine tuning, if all the updates come about it should be quite an immersive aircraft, whether or not people will pay the price is another matter, it will depend on the finished product.

Where's Chock? I need him to review it! (Please). Seems expensive for a beta. Too expensive unless I learn otherwise?

I was able to load it. And I'm sorry for those who bought it ( like myself). Not even close to DC-6 or PMDG level. I feel like I'm in some kind of alpha stage of development. You may love Connie and convince yourself otherwise but its not few fixes away.

I must say graphic was much better than I expected that is the only positive thing I can say! Sorry

OK, after talking to developers I decided to keep it. While I still think Connies is far raw and not worth at the moment. Developer open mindless, wiliness to listen and admit pitfalls give me hope for improvements and fixes

Looks pretty bad in this review, but then I am spoiled by the DC6  .

I think that is a good honest review of the Connie, I went out on a limb and bought it, the price is I believe high for an unfinished product, but I wanted this particular aircraft, the A2A version does not look like it is coming to MSFS, so this looks like the only option.  There is now smoke when you start up the engines, looks good, you have to download a file from Redwings website. I also have the DC6 which we all know is a great product.

The price will go up as they update it, the price charged at this moment is for early release, if you buy it now you will not be charged for future updates. This is the update schedule https://redwing-copter.com/aircraft-l1049/

True and it makes some sense as long as they start reasonably.  And there is some hypocrisy on my part since I have purchased both the HPG H145 and the Milvis PC-6 Porter, both of which are early access products.  But HPG also released the freeware and fully functional H135 before offering the H145, which proved - to me - that they have the chops to make a truly exceptional product, and the continuous and rapid updates are absolutely confirming that.  And the Porter is (perhaps deeply?) discounted at an extremely reasonable 29 bones while also being a completely finished, standalone product save for some extra trimmings like floats and a steam gauge option. As a result both are in my short list of favorite aircraft to fly.

Yes it looks really poor.

Developers: This is an early release for people keen to get it early and comes at a discount, you will be entitled to the final version eventually at no extra cost, but be aware the current release is not finished.  If your after a complete product hold off and buy it later at the full price later. Only buy this if you are happy with an early release/beta version of the product.

Main Forums:  Ripoff - it is not finished.

At 21:21 we see the early version (749) landing on an extremely short RWY and the announcer says it can even back itself up into a hangar.

 

I think I salved my prior loading problem. If departure airport time zone after civil sunset or simply put at dark Connie would not load ! It only load during departure day time. I have already notified developer.

You can try it yourself and tell me if I'm wrong!

Load during the day and switch to night LOL

I did encounter 1 major bug, if you enable your supercharge, there is a chance your fps will drops to 2fps or just freeze MSFS. Just be aware.
