December 3, 20241 yr Hi all, now I worked a bit again to get this Aerosoft DC-8 running and it's not easy to handle. But I found the reason for the bad fps in the cockpit, it was simply a pair of landing lights. If these are off it has full frames all the time. Of course no autothrottle and the old fashioned autopilot. I didn't modify anything except that I installed a GPS 530 because I don't want this CIVA Ins. I don't fly it for weeks and than I have forgotten it all. So the GPS can connect to the autopilot and it can follow the flightplan. This flight was from the north of Great Britain at Inverness to Southampton about 560 nm and I let it fly in real time, worked without any trouble. Sim is P3dv4.5, the aircraft so far does not work in V6, very bad fps. Thank you very much for viewing!

December 8, 20241 yr Lovely pics of the DC-8-50, Andreas... Is it the Aerosoft one in P3D...? That's the only DC8 payware I recall from FSX...I do see the INS CDUs in the cockpit...
December 8, 20241 yr Superb classic plane, Andi !! I hope some one will have the courage to develop this plane for the modern FS. I couldn't port it, it didn't work. Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
December 8, 20241 yr Author Thank you Bernd! And I believew that you couldn't port it, I'm glad if it works in P3dv4...🙂 PC: Ryzen 7 3700x AM4, 16 GB RAM, RTX 3060 12GB, Storage SSD 3TB, HDD 8TB, USB 8TB, 2 Screens, Win10-64 SIMs: FSX SE, P3d 3.4/4.5/6.1, Xplane 10/11/12, MSFS 2020/24, Aerofly FS 4
