"FS2004 Avalon Air Transport Sikorsky VS-44. Sikorsky's last fixed-wing airplane, operated by Avalon Air Transport (later Catalina Airlines) 1957-67 on taxi runs between Long Beach and Catalina Island. Made over 8000 trips in 10 years, sometimes 12 in a day. Passenger capacity increased from 32 to 47 by removing galley and sleeper berths and decreasing fuel load. Flight deck greatly modified in order to reduce crew required from 5 to 2. FSDS2 model with virtual cockpit, passenger compartment. Improved flight dynamics. Some instruments and interior details based on photos taken at New England Air Museum. Custom XML gauges plus defaults from DC-3. Animated cowl flaps and hatches. A flying boat, not an amphibian. No landing gear, but beaching gear provided. Can be taxied in and out of water. By George Diemer."
