Thanks Scott! 

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

 

Thank you and your team for bringing us this classic!

 

If you're interested we've posted the first of a few small preview clips of the DC-8 up on our Facebook page this evening, ahead of the imminent release.

Looks and sounds incredible Scott!

Thank you.

 

A second preview video was posted a little earlier too if you've not seen it already.

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.

 

Do you, or anyone, have some scenery recommendations for Africa ? I dont need to be pointed to South Africa, nor the up north since they are easy to be found, but somewhere in the center ?

Id look into scenery creator from flight 1 it allows you to make your own scenery from inside FSX

A little known fact is the DC-8 is one of only 3 airliners to ever go supersonic on purpose. The others were concord and the TU-144. They did it in a dive but it reached mach 1.01 and held together

A Texas International DC-9-10 also went supersonic in 73' but you'll find no record of it.. for obvious reasons..

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

 

Hi there

 

I said I'd enquire about this for you and I have. Reckon it's going to be ready for release in November. Probably back end of November but the finishing line is in sight I can assure you.  Look out for more definitive news on our website/Newsletter etc and I'll do my best to remember to come back here and let you know as soon as I get a date for this.

Well there's Orientalsim Nairobi which is okay in my opinion, you can get it from Simmarket. 

 

Other than that there's not much quality scenery available, one developer is apparently planning to do airports in Comoros islands.

 

Maybe if I find good enough data I might do some African airport in the future. 

If the cockpit night lighting is good, I may pick this one up. By good, I mean that you can have backlit gauges without the overhead lights. If cockpit lighting has only two options - on and off - it is a no go for me.

I agree I hate when devs do that I'd rather not have the dome lights in that case.

I'm very interested in this one.  Selling point for me is going to be accurate flying characteristics.

Looking forward to this release, thank you!
