Sky Simulations DC-9 on sale at JF

worst developer ever
In case you like older aircraft, Sky Simulation's DC-9 series is on sale at JustFlight. This is the first and only time that I've seen these models discounted and I long wanted a DC-9 in FSX, so I used the oportunity and bought them to save me the hassle of spending hundreds or thousands of hours on developing the models myself.

I'm doing an on-the-fly review at Avsim and I quite like the offering so far, although I haven't even flown it yet.

I bought it years ago , recently tried to add it to FSXSE and it doesn't install , won't recognize the key . And their support help didn't work . Can't recommend .
 
I left out the space when entering my first and last name in the installer and it worked perfectly. Maybe this does the trick?


Anyway, paints for v1 seem to work for v2 as well. Still missing a lot of operators though, seems I will have to put in a bit of paint work someday.
 
I owned the original version in FS9 and then not long ago finally bought the FSX v2 version. Systems wise it's pretty good but still quite dated in visual standards. I had bought the newer & much nicer Coolsky/Flight1 DC-9 but much to my dismay it would not install on my system so I deleted the installer and got a refund. So I guess for the foreseeable future, this DC-9 is the only game in town for me..
 
Looks like I need to invest a bit more work to get the aircraft up to (personal) spec. Some of the custom sounds don't work and there's no load/save functionality for any other than the standard switches.
Engine spool curves are also pretty much default.


Anyone want to return the favor with some paints?
 
While working on mods, I found out that the windscreen wiper system had straight been pulled from my Cv-580 conversion. They didn't even rename the variables. I know that I passed the source files around a bit and one of the recipients must've been one of the devs. Anyway that's one way to leave a lasting mark in the add-on world. :biggrin-new:
 
This one is a bit strange, none of the repaints on their web site supposedly for Version 2 are working on my rig.
Why do these Muppets think we need an installer to load up a new paint scheme.
Curiously, it feels (and looks) just like the FS9 version.
Rather annoying to put it mildly.
Bugger!!!!!!
:redfire:
 
The repaint installers install to "C:\Sims\..." by default. So let them install the paints there and then do the actual installation manually.
Running the pre-livery tool did nothing for me.


There's a paint for a USAF C-9B on Avsim: usafc9b.zip
