Exquisite.

A little disappointed they aren't doing a DC-9-50 since this is the only type still flown by a major airline in the states (delta). Still looks awesome though

[Jacoba 56]

I'm glad to see them doing an old school airliner...

 

The everything must have an FMC/GPS/Space Shuttle-level automation crowds won't like it... gotta actually fly this baby!

That one is my favourite.

Hi all,

 

Hope you enjoy this one when it comes out (even I don't know when lol),

True it is old school, been fun (and a long time) texturing inside,

Handy if you know how to use the old school computer (Yes it's a big round slide ruler),

but not needed as there is a lot in here to help you see ... http://www.coolsky.no/

 

An understanding of basic navigation will come in handy,

as quite rightly stated no FMC, but if you can fly, you can fly right?

many different ways to lock down where you are, the built in navigation simulator can help you there,

or break out the charts rulers and compass to go strike those arcs from DME stations,

and plot those angles from the ADF.

 

I find good old ebay has been a great source for nav charts, flight computers, and books,

all cheaper than your average flight store (and no i don't have a shop on ebay to promote lol).

 

Regarding graphics, are they the best? not for me to decide,

that's up to you.

One thing i can say after working through the beta test boards is the detail and thought

that has gone into the systems is extensive, including real dc9-30 pilots in there,

so I figure they must know their stuff!

 

I'm a propellor head myself, so to work on a Jet is something new for me,

and this might break me into them a bit more,

my only succesess with anything that didnt have a propellor are the 727,

I must be getting old lol, not into the new fangled FMC's yet,

I'll omit what happened on my first try in an ATR72 with one lol.

 

anyways,

 

stay and fly safe,

hope you enjoy this one when it's released.

Looking forward to it....the texture work looks to be outstanding; looking forward to that vc in 1080p:) Thanks for putting all of the hours and hard work in coolsky and mcphat!!

[Paul J 349]

Hi Sara!

 

Question: Seeing as how Avsim member Stevejp has fixed almost all of the "bad things" with DX10s Shaders, and it's now my platform - and I suspect, judging from the growing forum here - I have a need to know...

 

Is it DX10 compatible?

 

Many Thanks

 

pj

[Sara Louise Capon 21]

Good news Paul,

 

yes it is, been testing the VC there myself, infact, it's best viewed in DX10 ,

The VC is Bump and Spec mapped on all surfaces.

and thankyou.

[Paul J 349]

Well, you have a customer, then! A replacement for the Maddog is due....

[Skysurfer7 34]

From Coolsky's facebook: The DC-9 Classic has officially gone RTM!

 

RTM (Release To Marketing) means the final set of files have been sent off to Flight1, who is the distributor for the DC-9 Classic. It is now up to Flight1 to bring the product to the market and start selling it.
