December 22, 20169 yr Yeah! I am looking forward to the release of this so so badly. :-) I love DC-9s, MD80s, and I have all of the available add ons! But unfortunately, with the exception of the Sky Simulations DC-9, none of them made it to P3D. Same is true for the MD-11, which has these late McDonnell Douglas avionics and systems I really like and enjoy. And in some way, all these beautiful things now come together in this release! ;-)
December 22, 20169 yr Looks like a great aircraft to fly. As I only fly in Europe, does anybody know if there were/are any European based operators that used the 717? Blue1 used to fly them on behalf of SAS between Scandinavian countries and Finland, but they sold their entire fleet back in 2015...

December 22, 20169 yr Where can you purchase this plane? I know it will be midnight here in Denmark when it's released, but does TFDi have their own webshop or will it be 3rd party? Apologies, if this has been mentioned elsewhere... Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471

December 22, 20169 yr Other than the major operator Delta still using the 717s. Hawaiian uses it for island hopping. Should make for some fantastic short hops. If you want, I could make a tutorial of special approaches at Hawaiian Well, after doing them hundreds of times, not THAT special... but "scenic and interesting" "Channel 8L" HNL "LDA 26L with taxi time reducer 26R changeover" HNL "Harbor visual 8" HTO "wind farm visual 2" OGG they don't do this anymore: visual 3 LIH Also, "block time challenge" LIH-HNL.

December 22, 20169 yr I foresee one small problem. I have updated P3D to v3.4 HF2 and REX/Milviz has not updated their dll. to this version. From looking at their forum, it appears support will be limited due to holiday schedules. Even though P3D runs fine without this update, I suspect the WX radar in the 717 will not function for anyone with the same setup as mine (HF2 using REX/Milviz radar). Anyways will look forward to REX/Milviz update as soon as possible. :smile: Quote

So my WX is still working and no reason not to go ahead with a 717 purchase as soon as it comes out!

When you're flying 8 legs a day..... I'd certainly be interested. Love the HNL channel visual in the sim but never had any "real" insight into it.

December 22, 20169 yr Let me look into this for you. Thanks Angelo :smile: Just downloaded the NAVIGRAPH cycle - Dec 2016 for the TDFi. Can't wait to install it later :wink: Quote

The TERR Radar should still work regardless. If the update doesn't make release it will more than likely follow within 24 hours following.

As long as the TFDi gauge still functions without weather I am perfectly fine with that for now. Quote
