September 12, 201015 yr Historic Jetliners Group (HJG) has released the Boeing 717. Has custom sounds and a bunch of liveries. They are working on a panel but it's not done yet.http://www.simviation.com/hjg/main.htm
September 12, 201015 yr Hi, Are they using the Cantu model from the old SGA group or do they develop their own ??? I like the way the old SGA one flies - I just never had a decent panel for it... I'll be looking for this plane...Thanks,Scott

September 12, 201015 yr Aww geez I just got FSX up and running on the new rig and I've been putting off installing FS9 so that I could have some time to enjoy simply flying, but now there's no way I can resist I've got to get this 717 and their DC-9's. What else do they have in the works?

September 15, 201015 yr Just as a forum member with no sense of gratitude might as well not even post ?Ha! Fair enough indeed. I just didn't really understand what we're supposed to do with this aircraft. Is it for AI? Not familiar with HJG... yet

Man, I'm getting older faster than I thought!OK, let's see.....the 717 is the Boeing name for the McDonnell-Douglas MD-95. Entered Service in 1999.In the current American Airlines fleet, they have 165 MD-82s and 86 MD-83s. MD-82 entered service in 1981.MD-83 entered service in 1985.Although the 717 is 11 service years old, it's a heckofa lot younger than 250+ MD-80 series "retro" aircraft that American is still flying.But on further thought.....I AM getting old. Time for serious sack time!gwillmot
