The developer is a good guy and will respond to questions and requests.
![]() Maybe not a biggie for the most, but I consider it to have a great impact on the immersion. The textures are fabulous though But not enough to convince me to buy their DC-8. This was discussed more than a year ago, so have Just Flight taken action and fixed their DC-8 for Prepar3D v4 under this period Another cone are the cockpit textures- have they been enhanced or even reworked for Prepar3D v4 I have only come across FSX videos showcasing the Just Flight model except for two which showcase the aircraft in Prepar3D. Sadly, the tutorial flight shows that the cockpit textures havent been improved. But the video is from 2017, so I am uncertain if the cockpit has remained unimproved since. Its not study level but it is very enjoyable and rewarding to fly. It has a functional CIVA INS for navigation that loses accuracy over time and needs updating via VOR-DME. It can be very challenging and overwhelming at first but its very satisfying when you master it. You can set engine EPR according to the tables in the manual and it will fly exactly as the table states. You can tell a lot of effort went into this and its basically a one person team who created it. I even was so disappointed that so many buttons are not working that I temporarily requested a refund. But I then gave the bird another chance and started to like it - so much, in fact, that it is currently probably my favourite aircraft model. The developer has found a very good balance: having too many click-spots reduces fps, so he picked all the switches that one would operate during a normal flight. For instance, I was particularly taken aback that cross-fuel levers didnt work, but that actually helped me to realize that I almost never used it in other airplanes. There are so many things to take care: CIVA-INS as mentioned above, fuel tank management, engine management, weight and balance, speed bugs. If you accept the challenge that the plane presents, you will have a very rewarding experience when you master it. Dc-8 P3Dv4 Blog Update The INSTo add to what JasonPC said, you also can (or need to) update the INS to re-calibrate on a long flight, or else it will lose its accuracy, just like the real one. ![]() I was going to say the EPR is perfect as to the real-world tables but he already said that:).
