Sound is just perfect...have a few years as a Cabin Superviser on this plane and the sound in cockpit brought me some good memories...

I'm glad you brought that up.. I had the impression that the engine sounds in the cockpit were somewhat loud.. Was it really that noisy??
 
Now here's a mildly interesting statistic: at Flightsim.com my post about this offer drew 2 replies and no purchasers; here there were 21 and quite a few.

More than 20 years ago, but yesterday when installed and run I instantly remember the sound. In and out, think it's what I recall although now I'm just a little deaf....Engines were Rolls-Royce think the ones modelled and yes, I would bet this sound it's the real thing, authentic. Used to seat behind Captain's seat and yeswhen you aply take-off power you got the same sound. Miss that kick in the back, that plane accelerates like a rocket...lots of power.
 
Does the Just Flight version have a quick start or do you need to follow a start up check list?

I purchased it but have not installed it. Price was to good to pass up.

Just like most other planes, if your default flight is saved with the engine(s) running then any plane you load (with the exception of those few deliberately made to come in cold and dark) will come in with the engine(s) running.

CTRL-E works, but the startup sequence is real simple anyway- battery on, APU on, push each engine starter switch and you're running. She does seem a little overpowered but another post noted she was a powerful bird so who am I to say. Seen comments elsewhere that say the EPR values are way off. For $8 I can live with it. Am thinking about trying a VC merge with one of the HJG models, but that may be beyond my ability.

Argh, this came through when I was flying home from vacation and I missed it by 90 minutes. :(

Soo bummed. Loved flying in Delta L1011s to visit my dad when I was a kid.

Wish it had been a 36 hour sale!
 
Also got the Tristar - always wanted a long range 500 version - and got a paint pack all in for about $7. Now if I only had computer to run FSX!
 
Does anyone know how to get the much vaunted Direct Lift Control system to work on this? I've set the flaps to 42, as per the real thing, but there is no appreciable change in handling. I.e., the yoke still controls pitch, not the spoiler deployment/lift coefficient.
