Hooray - the 50 series - my favourite '8 ever.
A good day indeed, as I know there are fans of the CFM -70. I think the latter's hideous, but, hey - to each their own, and kudos to JF for rounding out the family so nicely. The '8 is a pretty varied set of aircraft subtypes, so good on them for covering the majority of the versions. Just because I'll only fly the one I like doesn't diminish my respect for them doing them all, because I'm sure others will really dig those others, and therein lies the beauty of this sim - variety.
Will pick up when I'm back in town ....

I'm younger but I've watched UPS DC8's fly out of MSP from post road, oh the days!Quote:

That smoke coming from the engines is awesome, definitely looks that some kerosene is really burning inside! It's something you don't much see with modern jets. Too clean :mixed-smiley-010:
no new UPS??? :banghead: bummer...the EC-24 was one I hoped for so I will be getting this one as Special ops isn't done often enough.
edit: Purchased about to fly..thanks to my points it only cost me 16.74! sweet!
Off to collect mine right now!

I could care less for the recycled military projects, a classic Aluminum Tube excites me.
And I recall being stuck almost at the rear end of a 63 in turbulent weather, now THAT was exciting!
ok well.....very nice plane...a bit heavy on frame for me but very nice. the one plane I was hoping for the EC-24 is outstanding except for one ting....its not painted correctly. the whole upper fuse and tail should be white, not overall gull gray. Other than that....beautiful. Hopefully we can get a minor paint fox for that. If this is painted correctly it might be that the shine of the model is a bit highly and it is causing the reflection to blend the colors??

Glad you guys like it. I've had the fortune to be one of the team members bringing this to you. It's been a difficult birth to say the least.

Cheers.
Looks white to me. From the JF web page.
It is Gull Grey and White.

How did you get the shiny glare off the plane? I have tried in numerous lighting and can't get this look.Quote:

Yes, there is a configuration tool for textures.Quote:

ok...I didn't buy the earlier models but I did buy this one. Is the tool free? How do I get the tool?
Edit on previous post:
Discount is only available until 1st Sept to those who bought previous model from justflight.
How's the Autopilot on this version? I bought the previous version not long ago and the A/P was significantly unstable & unpredictable(I ended up adding another 2D A/P to fix it) and I'm just wondering if there was an improvement in this version? Looking at the new versions, it seems there are both a basic digital A/P on the brow as well as an FMC. Any feedback will be appreciated.
Should be available after install from start program/justflight etcQuote:

Maybe we were on the same one...united from sea to JFK on the heels of a hurricane. Only time I ever felt airsickness!Quote:
