Forgot to mention , Air New Zealand is in the front off the group

I'm on the verge of buying this one. Always had a special place for the Douglas aircraft. Is it a stand alone package or an expansion on the JF DC-8-10 to 40 package?

You require the 10-40 series basepack - it an expansion, you also have two addon texture packages.

Yes requires the 10-40 installed , due the different models , includes cargo and most off the stretched variants.

It has both and course the early FMC and the different versions which many I'm not versed with.

Ive got the same problem i had with the first release ..... just the bloody wings and nothing else
Will see if JF have a fix for it .... bugger.

What did you do to fix it the last time for the earlier 10-40 install?

A thought, there is a pop up in "Click Start" - gives you a DC-8 Series 50-70 Performance Config , wonder if that may help for starters ?

Would anyone be able to post some screenies of the flight deck and the INS/Doppler/FMC units?
It sure has a nice looking exterior. The DC8 was a favourite as was the DC10 which I really like....really nice lines and quite advanced for it's time.

Bummer... Because I don't really care for the old DC-8. That's why I haven't got it, but I'm not willing to pay for a product I won't use. So maybe if it ever gets to a nice combodeal, I might think about it.

DC-8s I grew up with so its a memory thing , ... P-47 least in can say I jumped on the wing ... the AN-2 .. well have seen it in action at the 1994 Wanaka airshow, the Stratocruiser .. well that's were you learn engine management ... and the B-17 , I won a book of my choice HS school prize (they did not like my choice), I still have that book, ... one thing with the DC-8 , go's back to when in primary school, found the little model that the local and now well known Breakfast company's WEETBIX made and famous in New Zealand in the 1960s a little plastic DC-8 that come in the box .. now that was a combo package .. YOU had to hear my jet noise rendition

I won a book of my choice HS school prize (they did not like my choice),

In my last year in Primary, I did the same - my choice was 'Night Fighter' which is Jimmy Rawnsley's account of his time as radar operator to John Cunningham - and that was severely frowned upon by Ould Scotty. But she couldn't do a thing about it, because my Dad was the headmaster...

Damn good choice , tho I have not read the book , on prize winning a week later at Riccarton High School , the school assembly on what ever morning it was now , I handed the prize coupon back told the school not interested in there choice, they wanted me to read something stupid -

I wanted my AIRCAM AVIATION SERIES No.15 , today my Ianglish (thanks Charl) is not much better but I cannot get enough books on the subject .

There's plenty around over here (never knew there was a paperback edition), but I only found three on your side of the ditch...

I have a couple of paperbacks - with dustjackets! - published by Penguin in 1924, and a couple of others not much later.
But I agree, hard cover is your only man for proper books
