Why??
Another duplication...........
one can say that about a spitfire or mustang or whatever
because they can and the guy behind this has been working on this alone for a very long time and its only the 50s series which is extremely well done and frame friendly
im sure i will get a PM from a admin again over protected species

As far as I can tell by the screenshots, in eye candy department it is head and shoulders above AH creation.

Hardly Matt!
I'm sure it's good and the hours have been put in with heart, just as long as it's not a bloody 'Study Sim' it will be a purchase once the $$$$ are sensible, EU34.00 is just not on.
I always get annoyed with a duplication (Spitfires and Mustangs and Messerschmitts ad infinitum) when significant aircraft are overlooked (Convair 340-440 series for example) for whatever reason.
One of the missing links in the tube liner series remains the DC9 in all it's flavors, FSX versions are dated and not happy in P3D4, and that is a very important aircraft line.

For the time being this baby needs P3Dv4.2 to work correctly. If you're on P3Dv4.0 still, like i was, you'll get a flickering white wall in the VC for one thing. It is said in the AS forum "there are that many click spots in the VC, it's only v4.2 that can handle them. It is also said that a patch might be due to handle this problem.
In any case, i got the flickering white wall, updated the P3Dv4 client from v4.0 to v4.2 which got rid of that flickering thing.
Btw, as far as duplication is concerned, it might well have been that the dev of the Aerosoft DC-8 started work on it much earlier than AH. No doubt put a tremendous amount of work and love into it and no doubt had reached 'V1' when AH put their DC-8 rendition into the air. If you've come that far you just don't trash all the hard work that, by now, has become 'your baby'. Nobody throws their baby onto the scrapheap.
cheers,
