    Another 38 new HJG texture files have been released today ...as "part 2" of its recent "6th annoversary" web site update.

    These include...

    The late 1970's livery of a major Asian airline ...for both the B707-320B ADVC and B707-320C.

    Upgraded textures representing both 1970's and 1980's identities of a major Denver based US carrer; And the mid 1970's colours scheme for a no longer existent Canadian tourist/charter operator ...for the early production B727-100.

    And for the "Convertible" B727-100C/F/QC... the early 1970's livery of a shortlived US travel club/tourist charter airline: And the early 1970's identity of a major US supplimental carrier.

    The early 1990's colour scheme of a current Arizona based US scheduled operator .... for the early production B727-200.

    And for the "Advanced" B727-200... 3 variations of 1970's and 1980's liveries reprsenting a major Denver based US airline ...including the hybrid scheme applied to aircraft inhereted upon its 1987 merger with a uS budget airline; 3 variations of 1980's identity supported by European based aircraft operated by a major, but, no longer existent classic US carrier: The beige/brown/red/orange striped colours scheme of Newark based US low cost operator: And the colourful mid 1980's livery of a major Caribbean based airline.

    The mid 1960's identity of a US aeropace science agency ...for the CV990-A.

    And for the PAX configured DC9-10... 1965 House Colours for the first production aircraft: And the very "weathered" looking blue/white/ocher late 1990's identity of Kenya based carrier from Africa.

    Two 1990's era colours schemes for 2 different Italian registered aircraft ...for the "convertible" DC9-30CF/F/RC.

    And for the PAX configured DC9-30 ...3 variations of period liveries representing a major Indonesian operator and covering the 1970's/80's/and 90's. And both late 1960's and early 1970's identities for extremly rare aircraft operated by a major Korean airline.

    Three variations of historic colour schemes applied to a particular aircraft flown by a major Venezuelan carrier within the past decade ...for the "convertible" DC9-30CF/F/RC.

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

    Another selection of 9 fabulous new textures for HJG's recently released MD8X models are also now available ...for MD-81, -82, -83, -87, and -90-30 aircraft... and representing a multiplice of "rare, historic/nostalgic, or otherwise similarly attractive" liveries from Canada, the Caribbean, China, Italy, Venezuela and covering the 1980's/90's/and more recent times.

      Thanks for your acknowledgement once again Edmond.

      In relation to VC's though .... and as I replied to your comments of July 31st also ....


      Although we've well'n'truely entered an FS age where VC's are becomming both better as well as all more desirable too .... a small group like us/HJG simply doesn't have the resources necessary to produce and make a decent job of these.

      I'm sure most folk would agree that VC's, today, need to be of an exceptional quality in order to appeal, at all, but, just as importantly too, these also require much more reference data than most folk can probably appreciate .... not to mention the investment of time required in order to produce just 1 decent VC panel.

      With the exception of the FS FRANCE TEAM PM2 CONCORDE project which we/HJG host and which does have a VC .... in the absence of VC panels HJG has always focussed upon offering "very high quality" 2D panels for each of its aircraft types .... and each of these (with the exception of just 1 only aircraft type panel) feature equally "high quality" 360* (degree) interior/flightdeck side views etc.

      HJG offered 2D panels are also represented by more than just 1 panel configuration too .... since airliner flightdecks do vary according to aircraft type/series, production era, instrument standard, as well as engine type also (for example .... if you've ever seen 1 DC8 flightdeck then you've only ever seen 1 of a multitude of configurations that once existed for these particular aircraft) .... the major versions of which HJG always tries to represent as authentically as possible rather than offering just a single generic type of panel for each individual aircraft type/class.

      For the above reasons also .... VC's couldn't, really, be represented so easily by HJG .... at least not if "authenticity" is to prevail .... since doing so, as properly as our 2D panels, would require more than just 1 VC panel configuration being produced in interests of maintining the type authenticity we want to continue to try offer, but which again, simply isn't practical for the group.

      Thank you so much for your wonderful aircraft models. I've been flightsimming since 1998 and have most of the payware and freeware models available today, but out of all of those my favorite one is the DC-8 model from HJG. Its the one i have the most flying time on, it flies great, graet aerodinamics, excellent panel, great textures ,in other words, a true winner. Thank you again guys for yourr excellent work.....Nick Barros

      Can't thank you folks enough - your panels and aircraft helped me REALLY learn FS large jet operations. Panel design is excellent, graphics are wonderful, the flight models are challenging without being overwhelming. No complaints at all. Your 707 series is the best, I think I spend more of my time on those aircraft than any other civil aircraft in the sim. I've got lots of payware in my sim and seen a lot of products since I first got involved in this hobby back in the mid-90s or so - I can tell you your products are the best, and are very much appreciated indeed by a number of us out here. Thanks again!

      "THANKS" .... for your kind and "very positive" feedback folks.

      Reading it all "IS" most encouraging and "very much appreciated" too .... and it certainly helps justify the enormous amount of time our team apply to each simulation we offer in regard to our "trying to get it right/nice as possible".

      I really have to agree with Kindambo66, I too fly the DC 8-61 from HJG with the National Airlines paint. This download is just one of the many masterpieces from HJG. The panels are fine also with the variations. Thank you so very much HJG for making flight simming so fun and interesting.
