July 26, 201312 yr Finally a DC-8... But WHY from JF <_< JF releases enhanced versions of default aircraft with plastic graphics, i'm afraid this DC-8 won't be even near spectacular.

July 26, 201312 yr Finally a DC-8... But WHY from JF <_< JF releases enhanced versions of default aircraft with plastic graphics, i'm afraid this DC-8 won't be even near spectacular. That may be true of some JF releases, but it's a wide generalisation. Their 146 is, for example, superb and nothing like your blanket description. The L-1011 was indeed poor (IMHO) and did fit your description! But if we beat up developers before they've even so much as released a screenshot - well, it's not really fair is it, and we become like spoilt kids, screaming for a certain aircraft, then crying "but I wanted it by a different developer!" even when what we asked for, is announced. Just my 2c/p :wink:

September 13, 201312 yr I see what you're doing there, JF. Include the turbojet and the Conway variant as a teaser and keep the JT3D variant for add-on purposes. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
September 13, 201312 yr Justflight- We need more pics! The last time I was anticipating a release this much was for the RealAir Duke.
September 13, 201312 yr Commercial Member Skully - and we want to oblige with the new pics.

September 13, 201312 yr Commercial Member Wow, this bird looks just awesome... I will be definitely getting it. With CS 707, this and JF Tristar I think I will expand my virtual airline operations somewhere in Africa where you could expect to see some older equipment still in use.
September 13, 201312 yr Wow! I have to say, those vc pics look great to me...Pleased that it looks like 3d gauges, this is so important for steam gauge aircraft. Really looks pretty amazing...I'm a bit surprised and impressed...justflight appears to be stepping up its game. Any word on the systems? Hope hope hope that there is a good fde as well!

September 13, 201312 yr Commercial Member Timeline approximately... : ) Approximately... October. It's been kept under wraps for quite some time so we are quite near the finish line now.
September 13, 201312 yr Scott, will the series be expanded up to the -73s or is the -40s as far as it's going to go? I think much of the interest in the DC-8 will stem from their use in the last couple of decades as predominantly cargo aircraft, and these are usually with the -60 and -70 series. I'm not complaining, you understand, but seeing as this is such a rate beast in FS, it would be a shame not to see it fully covered. Andy
