I loved the ATI DC-8 and am sad they are gone. They were beautifully painted. Here is a pic of an ATI DC-8 that I once got a tour of.

 

Your virtual DC-8 looks lovely. Thanks for the photos!!

never saw a dc-8with such modern engines. I've read some of them are still used for cargo; judging from the engines, and lack of windows (just call me Sherlock, lol) that must be one. keeping the cg inside the envelope must be tricky on a bird that long. can u load it up different ways and feel a difference? love the paint on it, and nice shots!

The DC8-71, -72 and -73 are re-engine conversions of the -61, -62 and -63 respectively. They collectively were referred to as the "stretch 8s", much longer than the original -10 through -50 versions.

 

All of the DC8 series are available from HJG as freeware; panels are also available, but they have no VC.

 

I have both the "Baby 8" and "Stretch 8" packages from JustFlight, and in spite of several cockpit gauge bugs that are gradually being fixed with updates by JF, I like them. The VC is very nice and all the versions handle very well (my personal opinion).

 

Like PMDG payware, the JF models are not for the faint of heart; they are systems intensive so you cannot expect to just hop in and fly them. They have a very basic autopilot with no 2D flyout panel to make it easy to use (I added one), which is one of the continuing complaints in the JF Forum.
