  1. HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) has pleasure announcing a small summer release composed of some 46 "NEW" and "UPGRADED" files for the B727, B737, BAC ONE-ELEVEN, CV990, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, HS121 TRIDENT MD-80/90 virtual flight line .... and for the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN, DH106 COMET, HS121 TRIDENT, and VC10/C1K panels also .... all offered by HJG and for both FS2004 and FSX.

    This's HJG's 3rd release for the 2023 year.

    Textures subjects featured within this release relate to aircraft and operators from Central America, China, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ireland, Lebanon, Malta, Macedonia, Mexico, Pakistan, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, along with "the good old US-of-A" too, and Zaire .... covering the mid 1960's through present day period .... and among which both PAX, freight, demonstrator, military, corporate VIP, and fire fighting tanker operators are each represented in both definitive period as well as hybrid liveries.

    Upgraded files within this release relate the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN, DH COMET, HS TRIDENT, and VC10 panels (hosted by HJG) .... each of which now feature George CARTY's "functional" WX Radar Set .... among all other fixes applied to these simulations by HJG (since 2021) in order to improve their performance and promote "proper FSX portability" whilst not departing from DM's own concept in regard to how he intended these panels to look and function.

    This latest selection of offerings for FS2004 and FSX, along with a whole lot more too, is all currently and "FREELY" available for download from HJG at the following website address ....

    "HJG SPRING/MAY 2023 NEW & UPGRADED FILE RELEASES".

    HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) has pleasure announcing another release composed of some 80"NEW" and "UPGRADED" files for the ARJ/BAe 146, B707, B717-200, B727, B737, BAC ONE-ELEVEN, CV990, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, MD-80/90 virtual flight line offered by HJG and for both FS2004 and FSX.

    This's HJG's 2nd release for the 2023 year.

    Textures subjects featured within this release relate to aircraft and operators from Africa, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, the Caribbean/Central America (both Honduras and Nicaragua), France (and Corsica), Indonesia, Japan, Spain, the UK and Ireland, and "the good old US-of-A" too .... covering the very early 1960's through present day period .... and among which both PAX, freight, developmental, and military/government VIP operators are represented .... and which also include upgrades of some 20X classic DC-8 liveries from the 1960's and 70's, an "extremely rare" flight-testing CV990-A from the early 1960's; Some "equally rare" US-operated and hybrid liveried DC-9-10's from the late 1960's; A WHAT IF" B727-200 ADV livery which "very nearly" came into RW existence during the late 1970's; A number of (possibly) almost forgotten US operated BAC ONE-ELEVEN's from the 1980's as well as a number of 1960's/70's/80's/and 90's era UK registered aircraft too (all reconditioned textures); Along with a B737-400C currently operated by a US federal security agency too.

    And last but by no means least of all .... 

    The recently re-released HJG DC-8 project has now evolved into "V6.1" and "V6.2" 3D models .... in order to resolve a couple of reported and "EXTREMELY MINOR" animation related issues. All HJG supplied DC-8-10 through -43F 3D models are now "V6.2" offerings .... whilst all HJG supplied DC-8-51 through -73F 3D models remain "V6.1" offerings.   

    This particular reflection of both time and aviation history, for FS, and a whole lot more too is all "FREELY" available for download from HJG at the following website address ....

    "HJG 23RD ANNIVERSARY BIRTHDAY MEGA-RELEASE".

    HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) has pleasure announcing a mega-release in celebration of its 23rd anniversary/birthday bash.

    This's also HJG's first release for the 2023 year.

    This latest release is composed of some 270 "NEW" and "UPGRADED" textures for the ARJ/BAe 146, B707, B717-200, B720, B727, B737, BAC ONE-ELEVEN, C-135 SERIES, CV990, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, L-1011 TRISTAR, MD-80/90 virtual flight line currently offered by HJG and for both FS2004 and FSX.

    If previous HJG's releases have previously earned a reputation for being reflective of both time and aviation history, then, this latest release must go down in group history as being "a particularly colourful league of nations" in respect of its geographic/regional aircraft representation .... featuring some of the greatest as well as least known among the worlds oldest/most classic and newest civil and military operators, supported by liveries ranging from the mid-1960's until to the present day .... among which a number of celebratory and historic hybrid, split identity, and even fictional retro liveries are also included .... along with "A WHOLE LOT MORE".

    For further information concerning HJG's latest and 23rd anniversary birthday bash offerings please refer to the following-linked forum announcement ....

  5. Again I don't want to bother Bob/AVSIM Admin with another HJG specific PR whilst this one from May is still prominently visible (any problems Bob just drop me a PM) ;)

    Just want to advise though .... the HJG website was updated again yesterday with another 66X new files covering the B727-100/200, B737-300/400/500, BAC ONE-ELEVEN 400/500 (DMFS), DC-9-10/40/50, DC-10-10CF/F (MD-10F), HS121 TRIDENT 1/2E (DMFS), L-1011 TRISTAR 1, and MD-82. All freely available .... as per the following linked announcement ....

    https://tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/10216/hjg-website-update-november-2022


  6. I don't want to bother the AVSIM Admin team with yet another HJG PR whilst this last one, from 3 months ago, is still conspicuous (no desire to monopolize the visable commmunity news space more than necessary) .... but for whatever it's worth HJG have, today, just released another 76X new textures for the B727, B737, BAC ONE-ELEVEN, BAe 146, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, DH COMET, L-1011 TRISTAR, and MD-90 models it hosts ....

  7. Mercure is payware level

    Glad you're obviously enjoying the MERCURE 100 .... it is indeed very technically inclined simulation of a unique/rare airliner.

    2 separate versions of it are offered .... one specifically for FS9 use only .... and the other for specifically FSX use only.

     

     by swap 2 dlls it works perfectly in P3Dv4

    P3DV4 portability (I won't say compatibility) is "a surprise" because AFAIK such was "unintended" .... so I reserve my commentary in regard to P3D and more-so since HJG can't provide P3D support.

     

    HJG Mercure

    Important to credit this MERCURE 100 simulation to "Mario NORIEGA" .... and not HJG :)

    HJG did assist Mario with some elements of this/his simulation (namely FDE, sound, and WX Radar), but, it's otherwise "entirely Mario's simulation" .... and which HJG hosts for him and by consent 😉

  8. They also work with FS2002.
     
    That's "not" entirely correct.
     
    Some HJG simulations may (possibly) still work in FS2002, but, others (be their panels/gauges/modules and/or textures) "most certainly won't".
     
    Just to clarify these FS related compatibilities ....
     
    HJG simulations are FS2004 "native" with most also now being FSX "portable" .... as per the following-linked list ....
     
     
    In any case HJG "does not" now provide FS2002 support.
     
    I was also recently informed "some of" (not all of) the HJG simulations may in fact be P3D "V3" (only .... definitely not V4 or later though) portable too, but, not yet having seen evidence of, or being able to properly assess this "for myself", I say such "WITH RESERVATION".

  9. For those interested ....
     
    HJG have just (today/as of a few minutes ago) added another 12X textures to their December/Christmas 2019 release .... featuring an assortment of "new" B707, B727, DC-8, DC-9, and MD-80 textures which didn't make the groups large release of "DECEMBER 14TH".
     
    For further information refer to the following HJG website announcement ....

  10. Time and opportunity have been in HJG's favor lately .... and it's for this reason the group's been able to add the following additional textures for its "NEW" B737-300/400/500 project since it was recently realeased for Christmas .... 


    B737-300

    - ADAM AIR 2007
    - CANADIAN NOTHY (CFK logo jet hybrid) 2015
    - DELTA AIR LINES 1987


    B737-500 

    - SKYSERVICE 2017
    - TURKISH AIRLINES 2002


    For more informationm concerning these latest and additional texture releases .... and groups "NEW" HJG B737-300/400/500 project generally .... along with its "NEW" and recently released MERCURE 100 project (by NOrIEGA DESIGNS) also .... kindly refer to the following HJG forum linked announcement/s

  11. HJG are predominantly an FS2004 based website though most of it's products (barring a few) are FSX portable, but, it does not design for the P3D platform. In the case of these new B733/4/5 models they are indeed FSX portable but their forward air stairs animation (based on the FS2004 CONCORDE visor commands .... which are different in FSX) will not work in FSX. This (and a great deal more) is actually covered within the groups forum based online manual for these new B733/4/5 simulations ;)
