I have a dream... After the DC6B, PMDG is thinking, as a secret project n°2, about one beautiful and great airliner never made in FS - other than freeware 2D panels - that still flies today: a Douglas DC8!

 

Some dreams do come true...

Yup, a Greasy 8 or maybe even a Convair would be great to see, although I appreciate that modeling a Convair would be a tricky proposition.

I second!

 

I like your signature (and your various others), especially the Convair 880 part..

Please, guys, stop talking about jets already ! It's not right !

 

It's proplover time here for Pete's sake ! Can't you see we have difficult times enough already what with no more news about the status of the project !?.... :Nail Biting:

 

Thank you !

 

cheers,

jan

 

( btw, i wouldn't mind a PMDG DC-8 neither... :P )

Okay, just think calm thoughts and imagine the sound of propellers shedding big chunks of ice into the side of your fuselage and denting the crap out of it LOL

Whoaa!!!! I've had some sim experience on these thanks to the California Classics crew. Lot's of stuff to look at, a bit slower pace, but sim heaven nonethelesss. I particularly like speed and engine management aspect, hard to beat! Many thanks for making this one, this is an amazing addition! Just out of curiosity, what kind of engine management/diagnostics systems will you model?

 

Did a polar flight a while ago with a -7. Had to use some celestial nav (yes they have it for FS) so had to add some not-so-familiar instruments. One of my favourite flights yet. No GPS, INS or anything like that, just map, pencil and stopwatch. Took a couple of weeks of research to set up the flight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can 't wait for this one :yahoo:

Please tell me where to find the aircraft and celestial nav gauges I see in these screenshots.

Please tell me where to find the aircraft and celestial nav gauges I see in these screenshots.

You can find all here at AVSIM. I made a tutorial (here at AVSIM somewhere) where you can find everything you need, except for a few gauges particular for the flight (Russian a/c gauges). I would visit first http://www.calclassic.com/ forums and get acquainted with how to fly the props as they are flown a bit differently (Read the FSAviator archives). They also have updated links for the airplane packages. Hope this helps.

Thanks.

A2A's Wings of Silver Stratocruiser with Captain of the Ship (accusim) is the best

I absolutely second that :Peace:

is there any news on this beauty?

Time for a juicy rumor. Not sure if it's true, but here we go.

 

PMDG makes the model, textures, VC and A2A brings their unmatched technical achievments to make this aircraft Accusimable. So you initially buy the product from PMDG and then if you choose, you buy the accusim module from A2A.
