The McDonnell Douglas DC-8™ Series 10 - 40 was one of the first commercial jet airliners to ever enter service. The four-engine narrow-body airliner featured advanced aerodynamic and structural designs resulting in a very reliable, comfortable, and efficient aircraft.

The Just Flight DC-8™ Series 10 - 40 for FSX: Steam Edition is built from accurate factory-standard plans and all feature the characteristic ‘double bubble’ fuselage, nose ‘nostrils’, and multi-pane cockpit glazing that make this aircraft so distinctive.

Many unique animations are also built into each model including: retractable landing lights, opening pressure valve gate in the tail, rams and operating levers for the spoilers and flaps and, of course, the trim-adjustable flying horizontal/elevator tail assembly.


FEATURES

• Includes 6 different aircraft variant:, -10, -11, -21, -33, -41, and -43
  
• Includes 19 liveries with Air France and factory DC-8 scheme.
  
• Highly functional virtual cockpit with virtually all of the hundreds of switches, knobs and levers animated and functional. Many gauges are modelled in 3D for smooth operation.
  
• Engineer and Navigator panels are included. The engineer's panel features functioning engine, hydraulic, electrical and fuel systems.
  
• Full cockpit lighting with atmospheric instrument backlighting.
  
• Avionics include full autopilot functionality from the operating period with NAV and ILS approaches, VOR and ADF receivers and displays, transponders, and a full communications suite.
  
• Many features have been added to help with ‘usability’ including switches to hide the control yokes and co-pilot seat for a better view of the instruments, and pre-set angled views for the overhead panel, throttle quadrant and radios.
  
• Numerous warning annunciators will illuminate on fault detection and a fully functional engine fire warning and protection/extinguishing system are built into the cockpit. If you get an engine fire warning, pull the fire handle and the fire will be extinguished.
  
• Electrics have been authentically modelled to enable correct engine starts with ignition lock-out and over-ride functions for each engine starter.
  
• Special programming has been used to re-create the complex fuel storage and delivery systems for each engine.
  
• Specular map to give realistic light effects on the aircraft surfaces.
  
• Bump mapping to give a more realistic 3D effect to aircraft liveries.
  
• Realistic wing flex on all variants.
  
• Custom coding ensures that the systems are faithfully reproduced in this simulation, including unique features such as spoiler ‘lock-out’ when gear is retracted.
  
• Animated main-gear bogies which will rotate to reduce stress on the tyres and wheels in tight turns.
  
• Special slats in the leading edges of the wings open ahead of the main flaps and the full slotted-flap system is faithfully reproduced in these models.
  
• Numerous authentic animations are included such as retractable landing lights, opening pressure valve gate in the tail, rams and operating levers for spoilers, trim-adjustable flying horizontal/elevator tail assembly.
  
• The landing gear is modelled and animated with all the correct struts and springs and even detailed brake lines and wheel cylinders.
  
• Flight files for the project developed by real world DC-8 engineer and tested by DC-8 pilots
  
• Special effects have been created to reproduce the incredible smoke trails the early DC-8 jets produced – and the correct reverse thrust smoke has also been modelled.
  
• Professionally produced stereo sound set for all variants authentically matched to the different engine types.
  
• A comprehensive cockpit guide and flight tutorial is provided in illustrated PDF format.
