Update is out for the JF DC-8

Recommended Posts

Stuck this here in Hangar Chat because it's for P3D and FSX. Apparently they are gonna make it P3D V4 compatible at some point, but in the meantime, here's a list of the things which are fixed in the P3D V1-3/FSX version. Quite a lot of fixes and some new stuff too:

New features:

Autopilot re-coded for improved usability

Fuel system re-coded for improved usability (refer to manual for more information)

Manual PDF updated to reflect changes to software since release

Alan, I have this, but are you sure it is FSX/P3D compatible as I received a Support email from JF when I asked about P3Dv4, that it was an SP for FSX only. Would love to have it in my P3Dv4 hangar.
