Awralls - later models will be along too. Can't give an exact time just yet though.

It does look really great.   I just really hope that whoever did the flight dynamics for the L-1011 isn't doing them for the DC-8.

That's great news. Thanks.

Just to let you know the In Deevlopment page for the DC-8 on our website is now working properly so all screenshots can be viewed on there as well as on our FB page.

C'mon JF! Let's do this!  B)

Skully, it's imminent I can assure you.  :)

Thanks Scott! 

I can foresee myself logging some serious hours on this bird.  B)

 

Thank you and your team for bringing us this classic!

Looking great, but i'll wait for user reviews. Sincerely hope i won't have to buy it for $6 like i did with the TriStar.

 

Good luck, a DC-8 has been awaited for long, i guess we all hope this is it.

Tempted by this. Flew in a DC-8 (Series 63) from Rome to Heathrow when I was a schoolboy.

 

Did the DC-8 have the clattering trim wheel like in the 737-200 and 727? If so I hope JF have modelled it with realistic sounds.

Same here-  Summer of 1971 New Orleans to LAX round trip- Delta DC-8 Super 62

I've bought several Just Flight airplanes - and never been happy.  The Cool Sky DC-9 is the best 1960s jet out there...by a very wide margin.

When FSX first came out, Dreamfleet were talking about doing a complete DC-8 just like their top 5 addon for FS9 ever released, the 727. Too bad they never followed through.

Thanks.  We'll release a few small videos over the next few days on the Facebook page for you to take a look. 

 

We think it's great and extra effort and time have been spent adding detail and features to move it up a notch. That said I'm sure we'll not please everyone. Let's wait and see...

Off topic but can you provide an update on the progress of the 1.5v of the 747 classic?

Good evening

 

I can't at the moment but I'll ask the question and get back to you tomorrow if that's ok.

 

Really sorry for the delay on this one, it's kind of out of our hands with only so much pressure we can apply. Let me ask though.
