At first glance, it looks to be the JC (Jet City) 717.
Your right it does look like the Jet City 717.

Kudos to HJG for another great release....given how much fun I've had with their DC-8's, I'm looking forward to what they come up with for the 717 panel.

Just use the HJG DC-9-30 panel, Gauges, and 9-30 sounds and your good! The 717-200 is the third generation Dc-9. :(

I made some alterations and minor changes; rebuilt wing surfaces, a few odd parts here and there reshaped, some gaps filled and polygons cleaned up, but it is based upon the old JCA model. Then again, that model was based on an old FS98 rebuild of an old FS5 AFX file. I'll be darned but did I just state that I have been working on DC-9 models of some form or another for FS for almost 15 years? And to think I'm not even that old yet!

Ahhh....NOW the truth comes out! It isn't the Boeing 717 that is vintage......it's the flightsim MODEL of the 717 (DC-9) and/or the developer!

Wait... the physical model has elements dating back to FS5? From the front page I thought it looked pretty good!

It is very good! It's an enhancement of the JCA B712 model which was probably already the best one available...Also very interested in the panel they will put together - I'm currently running a heavily modified version of the VANS AirCo panel but there are some issues and mistakes still that are beyond my level of XML coding/hacking...Geoff
