Just Flight DC-8 50-70 series released!

What a beauty...luckily I am old enough to have whitnessed her gracing the skies...

Hooray - the 50 series - my favourite '8 ever.

A good day indeed, as I know there are fans of the CFM -70. I think the latter's hideous, but, hey - to each their own, and kudos to JF for rounding out the family so nicely. The '8 is a pretty varied set of aircraft subtypes, so good on them for covering the majority of the versions. Just because I'll only fly the one I like doesn't diminish my respect for them doing them all, because I'm sure others will really dig those others, and therein lies the beauty of this sim - variety.

Will pick up when I'm back in town ....

Nice! I'm just coming back from a hiatus with simming and I might need to get this one as it should work fine with P3D2 too (at least the earlier version from JF does).

That smoke coming from the engines is awesome, definitely looks that some kerosene is really burning inside! It's something you don't much see with modern jets. Too clean :mixed-smiley-010:
 
no new UPS??? :banghead: bummer...the EC-24 was one I hoped for so I will be getting this one as Special ops isn't done often enough.


edit: Purchased about to fly..thanks to my points it only cost me 16.74! sweet!
 
Off to collect mine right now!
:triumphant::triumphant::triumphant:
I could care less for the recycled military projects, a classic Aluminum Tube excites me.
And I recall being stuck almost at the rear end of a 63 in turbulent weather, now THAT was exciting!
 
ok well.....very nice plane...a bit heavy on frame for me but very nice. the one plane I was hoping for the EC-24 is outstanding except for one ting....its not painted correctly. the whole upper fuse and tail should be white, not overall gull gray. Other than that....beautiful. Hopefully we can get a minor paint fox for that. If this is painted correctly it might be that the shine of the model is a bit highly and it is causing the reflection to blend the colors??

Glad you guys like it. I've had the fortune to be one of the team members bringing this to you. It's been a difficult birth to say the least.

Thanks John!

How does the systems/functionality compare with the latest/updated version of the 10-40 set?

Looks white to me. From the JF web page.

Ok...one other question...is there a texture configuration tool? I notice in the aircraft file there are different res texture files and also aircraft.cfg files.
