It comes with all required textures and materials, available in various formats for immediate download. Originally serviced by Eastern and United pre-WWII in 1939, the DC-4 faced maintenance complications and insufficient efficiency for commercial service. This led to a request for a simpler, smaller aircraft. However, the US's entry into WWII redirected production to military use, resulting in 1100 C-54s and R5Ds. Post-war, 79 DC-4s were produced for airlines while many military planes returned to civilian commercial use. Capable of carrying 40-80 passengers with a cruising speed of 227 mph, a range of 4250 miles, and a service ceiling of 22,300 feet, DC-4s remain in service as of 2014.
