- CASABLANCA AIR FRANCE ELECTRA MOVIE STAR -
l1042cas.zip
LOCKHEED ELECTRA L-10A - Air France livery like in the movie CASABLANCA
registration F-AMPJ.
We know Air France never used the Electra, but in the legendary movie CASABLANCA with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman the Electra had a fascinating movie part in the
outfit of Air France.
Many thanks to Rich Boehringer for the idea of resurrecting the Casablanca Electra.
FOR FS2004 - UPDATED VERSION 2
Made with FSDS 2.40
Including 2D PANEL & WEIGHT TOOL
This is an update (version 2) of the FSDS2/FS2004 Electra L-10 from FS-Design Berlin
with improved shiny effects and some bug fixes.
All former FS04 textures (AP.7a - AP 7k) can be used with this model. But please note then you have to change the aircraft.cfg entries of the former livery/texture variations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3D and 2D model design and textures:
Arik Hohmeyer
2D panel design:
Arik Hohmeyer
(some gauges are also designed by Arik Hohmeyer)
Technical and organizational support:
Chris Grabow
FDE (flight dynamic) based on Dave Eckert & Nick Botamer,
updated and revised for FS2004:
Wolfram Beckert
Special thanks to:
- Dale DeLuca for data support, 1. pilot image and beta testing,
- Wolfram Beckert for the new flight dynamic and beta testing,
- Steve Good for 2. pilot image,
- Dave Eckert & Nick Botamer whose flightdynamic was a fantastic base for
our flightmodel,
- Ulf Nordin from FS Lulea-Kallax who provided us with a lot of webspace.
This model is dedicated to the wonderful Ingrid Bergman.
1. Unpack/extract the contents of the main zip-file into FS2004's Aircraft folder.
2. Unzip the contents of VC_Gauges.zip to the \Gauges directory of FS2004. You don't
need to install the VC Gauges newly if you have installed the NWA Electra before.
Sound:
Unfortunately, we don't know any original Electra sound. But Dale DeLuca - who still has flown the Electra - recommends the P-40 sound by Mike Hambly. In this way Dale remembers the powerful sound of the Electra. This sound was recently offered in the T-6 Texan file (t6v2.zip).

WEIGHT TOOL
With Weight Tool you can edit/change the aircraft weights (passangers & baggage) of your Electra.
How to use:
- Weight Tool is started by double-clicks of the Weight Tool.exe which is in the main
folder of the Electra. If you want to use Weight Tool you had to start it before
starting Flightsimulator. The passengers and pilots have to be loaded and unloaded on
the airplane graphic with the Mouse.

In the summer of 1932 Robert Gross determined that the reborn Lockheed should start fresh with the very latest type of aircraft. Initially, it was to embody the usual low-drag and single engine design, but other development dictated major changes.
In February 1933 Boeing launched it's revolutionary model 247 which was the first low-drag twin engine all metal transport. Seating 10 passengers in comfort, it was 50 MPH faster than any other airliner in service. Five months later Douglas introduced their DC-1 which was even faster and had more payload than the Boeing. The impact of these two, and later the improved DC-2 compelled Lockheed to rethink their new plane and design a twin engine transport that would surpass it's competitors. It was decided that the model 10 was laid out as a twin engine, all metal, ten passenger plane, with a crew of two and a toilet compartment. Baggage could be loaded into the nose, and sometimes also into the rear fuselage. There were also small baggage areas in the tops of each wing. It had an all metal stressed skin fuselage, motor driven retractable landing gear, and retractable flaps, something that the Boeing did not have. It was also faster than the Boeing, and competitive with the DC-2.
The first Model 10 Electra was tested by Marshall Headle at Mines Field, Los Angeles on February 23, 1934. Northwest Airways and Pan American placed the first orders and it first went into service with Northwest in June 1934, and within twelve months they operated a fleet of thirteen aircraft.
Eventually four main versions of the Electra were produced. L 10-A with Pratt and Whitney Wasp Junior R-985SB/SB-3 engines. The model B with Wright Whirlwind R-975-E3s, the Model C with Wasp SC-1s, and the Model E with Wasp R 1340 S3H-1 engines.
The Electra was an immediate success. At it's introduction it was one of the fastest airliners available and orders flowed in from all over the world, with eventual sales to 23 airlines in 13 countries. The total number of Model 10A was 107 the model B was 19, the model C was 8, and the Model E was 15. In all, 115 went to airlines, 7 to the US Government, 2 to the Argentine Government, and 25 to private customers.
First operators were in USA: Northwest Airlines, Pacific/ Pan Alaska Airways, Northeast Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Eastern Air Lines, Mid-Continent Airlines, National Airways; in Canada: TCA, Canadian Airways; in Southamerica: Compania Mexicana de Aviacion, Compania Cubana de Aviacion, Linea Aeropostal Venezolana, Panair do Brasil, LAN Chile, VARIG, KLM Westindies; in Australia & Pacific: MacRobertson-Miller Aviation (MMA), Guinea Airways, Union Airways; in Europe: British Airways, LOT, LARES, Aeroput.
The last Airline to purchase the Electra was LAN Chile, in July 1941.
During WW II. many Electras were confiscated and used by UAAC and RAF. Some of the 10 Polish LOT Electras got into German hand and were used in different transportation units of the German Luftwaffe.
Several Electras achieved fame. The first round-trip of the Atlantic by an airline was by an Eastern Airlines L-10 A in May 1937, carrying first film of the Hindenburg disaster, and returning to the US with films of the coronation of King George VI. ... and of course it was a Lockheed Electra L 10 E that Amelia chose for her ill fated around the world flight in 1937.
[Contrary to other statements the British Prime Minister Chamberlain wasn't flown to Munich in September 1938 to meet with Adolf Hitler in a British Airways L-10-A but in a L-14 (G-AFGN)].
The Electra was finally replaced by the success of the Douglas DC-3 in airline service, but many Electras were used by companies as executive aircraft, and it was still in service as late as 1965 in regular service by Provincetown Boston Airline on the route between Boston and the island community on the tip of Cape Cod.
As of August 1998 there are three model 10-A's still airworthy, and one Model E. It is owned by Ms. Linda Finch in San Antonio Texas, and she flew her Electra on a successful recreation of Amelia Earharts around the world flight.
