HJG Christmas 2016 Website Update

HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) have announced their December/Christmas website update .... the groups 11th during this 2016 year.

Featured within this update is Benoit PLAMONDON´s newest audio project .... composed of 22 "EXTREMLY HIGH QUALITY" DC-8 soundpacks .... recreating the voice of the DC-8 through all of its various marques .... b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l-y recapturing the clssic startup "howl" and unsupressed "roar" of the earliest P&W turbojet powered DC-8´s, the unique "scream" of the first RR fanjet powered DC-8-40´s and loud "rasp" of the later P&W fanjet pòwered DC-8-50´s and -60´s, along with the unmistakeable modern turbine "growl" of the CFM re-engined SUPER 70´s DC-8´s also .... each meticulously fine-tuned so as to positively assault ones senses and to the extent that the only missing ingredients are the smell of jet fuel and the feel of warm engine jet blast air

Here are some audio-visual presentations of these superb new soundpacks :-

Each of these new soundpacks have been released as separate FS2004 and FSX specific audio .... the FSX version of these new soundpacks taking advantage of the superior audio engine provided within this particular FS version.

Also accompanying this HJG DC-8 audio upgrade is an enhanced "DC-8 PANEL GAUGES/CORE FILES" package .... "VERSION 1.5" .... for use with HJG´s entire range of 15 DC-8 panels. Both this enhanced file, the panels, along with each of these new soundpacks too, are designed to interact with one-another so as to generate a truly impressive, as well as very authentic, DC-8 audio experience .... the like of which has not previously been developed for FS and will possibly remain unsurpassed for quite some time to come.

AND THAT´S NOT ALL ....

Just added to HJG´s already extensive, and constantly explanding, flightline are new textures .... featuring both the late 1980´s and current identity of a Canadian PAX/freight operator for the B727-200, -200 ADV, and -200 ADV WL .... DC-8-50 liveries for 2 long-gone Canadian tourist charter operators of the late 1980´s/early 1990´s .... and a selection of colour schemes representing Eastern European, Italian, Spanish, and Nordic operators of MD-80/90 aircraft covering the late 1990´s era until relatively recent times.
