  1. Stuttering with the QW BAe 146 is apparently a known/acknowledged but still unresolved issue as follows (think this's the same product) .... https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/justflight-146-professional-v1-10-xbox-sx-performance-issues/613404/3 https://community.justflight.com/topic/5566/146-v1-10-xboxsx-performance-issues https://community.justflight.com/topic/3334/stutter-with-the-bae-146
  2. "HJG FIRST FILES FOR 2024" HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) have pleasure announcing its first release/s for this 2024 FS year .... a total of some 102 "NEW" and "UPGRADED" files for both FS2004 and FSX. This latest release is composed of both "NEW" and "UPGRADED" texture files for the HJG offered B727's, B737's, BAe 146's, C-135's, DC-9's, and MD-80's .... accumulatively representing another a colourful passage through time and aviation history .... featuring both classic and modern definitive, hybrid and celebratory/promotional, and military uniformed liveries from the 1960's, 70's, 80's, and 90's era until the present day .... covering both PAX, freight, and VIP configured aircraft utilized by both civil and military operators from Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Ireland, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, New Caledonia, Nigeria, Paraguay, Peru, Romania, South Africa, UK, and the USA & Hawaii .... and among which a couple of late 1990's era "WHAT IF" aircraft/liveries (that "very nearly", but "eventually didn't", evolve into civil aviation reality due to sudden circumstantial changes within the US corporate aviation world) are also included. Bound to be something of interest here for most whom enjoy recreating aviation history within FS2004 and FSX. In the meantime work also advances on other HJG projects slotted for 2024 release. For further information concerning these latest HJG offerings refer to the groups following forum announcement ..... "HJG New Files Releases - February 2024" https://tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/10501/files-releases-february-12th-2024 All this .... and a great deal more .... is available for "FREE" download from the HJG website located at the following address ....

  3. "HJG OCTOBER & DECEMBER/CHRISTMAS 2023 NEW RELEASES" With this announcement HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) have pleasure announcing both its December/Christmas 2023 release which is this year composed of some 150 "NEW" files .... along with its unannounced (externally) September/October 2023 release that was composed of some 126 "NEW" files .... each for both FS2004 and FSX. 2023's been HJG's "most productive year" since its foundation back in 2000 .... having released a total of some 744 "new" and "upgraded" files, per 6 separate releases, throughout the entirety this year alone. The bulk content of these latest 2 releases are "NEW" texture files for the HJG offered B727's, B737's, DC-9's, DC-10's, L-1011 TRISTAR's, MD-80's/90's .... which accumulatively resemble a colourful flight line of both classic and modern liveries that might otherwise best be described as "a league of nations" (in regard to civil aviation) from all 4 corners of the globe .... among which an abundance of charter and scheduled operators, freight carriers, and military service/transport aircraft are each represented .... featuring classic historic, definitive, hybrid, and celebratory liveries from the 1960's, 70's, 80's, 90's era until relatively recent times. The balance of content included within both of these releases is composed of "NEW" aircraft base packs and sound packs ....

  4. Using either the HJG FS2004 native DC-9 panels (plural) or the FSX native KW DC-9 panel (singular) both the flaps and landing gear can only function if the Hydraulics system is "engaged"/selected "ON " otherwise these items "will not work". This is how these simulations are intended/compiled to work. Similar might apply to the PT IL-62 as well but I can't advise in regard to this. In regard to the DC-9 panels the flaps and landing gear functionality in regard to the Hydraulics system is explained within HJG's forum based manual for these simulations. PLEASE NOTE THOUGH: HJG only provides support for the FS2004 native DC-9 panels it offers. It does not/cannot support the FSX native KW DC-9 panels although HJG's although HJG's manual should still be mostly useable with this particular panel too. MRC
  5. "HJG's 2ND SUMMERTIME RELEASE - JULY 2023 NEW FILE OFFERINGS". HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) has pleasure announcing its 2nd summertime release. This release is composed of some 30X "NEW" textures for the ARJ/BAe 146, B727, B737, BAC ONE-ELEVEN, DC-9, DC-10, L-1011 TRISTAR, and MD-80/90 virtual flight line currently offered by HJG and for both FS2004 and FSX. Textures subjects included within this particular release represent scheduled PAX/freight and discount/charter operators from Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Luxemburg, Mexico, Sicily, Spain, Surinam, Sweden, the UK, and the USA/Hawaiian Islands .... featuring both past and current definitive as well as hybrid liveries from the late 1960's, the 70's, 80's, and 90's eras, and throughout 2000's and until this present time too .... and among which the transitional liveries of a major UK operator between the late 60's and early 80's for BAC ONE-ELEVEN's, the latest B737-300 SCD acquisition by a prominent Canadian cargo operator, the aviation wing of a major cruise line, one of a dwindling number of B727-200F ADV freighters still operating within the USA today, a DC-9-40 operated by a short-lived Swedish startup carrier around the commencement of this millennium, along with a "concept livery" for what might have become a Russian operated L-1011-1 which might have come to fruition during the early 1970's had international politics not conspired to prevent it doing so. This's another small release by HJG standards but one typically composed of colour, variety .... and above all "HISTORY" too and which is precisely what the "H" in "HJG" stands for. This latest selection of FS2004 and FSX offerings, along with a whole lot more too, is currently and "FREELY" available for download from HJG at the following website address ....

  6. [quote]You can easily mix HJG early jets for the late '50s and early '60s along with the CalClassic propliners[/quote] Sure can .... and I whole-heartedly agree with "PRROGPHLYER" :) It makes for a great FS experience .... especially if simulating/replicating that late 1950's era when props began giving way to jet engines. In this respect I've always regarded both TGCC and HJG as being a sister sites Tom's scenery is great too .... in fact I used it to create "a period feel" in regard to the following historic flight re-enactment I undertook a few years back .... BOAC London/Johannesburg Route Re-Enactment 1953/4 https://tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/8576/boac-london-johannesburg-route-enactment Only thing I didn't employ though was AI traffic appropriate to the routing flown :( MRC
  7. Thanks for the kind sentiments guys. Much appreciated MRC
  8. "HJG SUMMER SURPRISES - NEW & UPGRADED FILE RELEASES" HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) has pleasure announcing its "Summertime Surprises" .... this being HJG's 3rd release for the 2023 year. This latest release features some 46X files (a small output by HJG standards but one containing some nice product) and which is composed of new textures for the B727, B737, BAC ONE-ELEVEN, CV990, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, HS TRIDENT, and MD-80/90 virtual flight line offered by HJG.... as well as the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN, DH COMET, HS TRIDENT, and VICKERS VC10 panels hosted by HJG .... and all of which is intended for both FS2004 and FSX use. Textures subjects featured within this release relate to aircraft and operators from Central America, China, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ireland, Lebanon, Malta, Macedonia, Mexico, Pakistan, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, along with "the good old US-of-A" too, and Zaire .... covering the mid 1960's through present day period .... and among which both PAX, freight, demonstrator, military, corporate VIP, and fire fighting tanker operators are each represented in both definitive period as well as hybrid liveries. Upgraded files within this release relate the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN, DH COMET, HS TRIDENT, and VC10 panels (hosted by HJG) .... each of which now feature George CARTY's "functional" WX Radar Set .... among all other fixes applied to these simulations by HJG (since 2021) in order to improve their performance and promote "proper FSX portability" whilst not departing from DM's own concept in regard to how he intended these panels to look and function. This latest selection of offerings for FS2004 and FSX, along with a whole lot more too, is all currently and "FREELY" available for download from HJG at the following website address ....

  9. [quote]As far as I know the default season ground textures are built into FSX and can only be changed by those who create different ground textures or scenery. "PHROGPHLYER" is absolutely correct.[/quote] The seasonal appearance (texture content) of all FS sceneries (that's FS98/2000/2003/2004/and FSX) is always as compiled. It can't be further manipulated to display more than is compiled .... unless the author/s of any scenery choose to or are otherwise persuaded to edit more into what's compiled than is actually first provided. MRC
  10. "PHROGPHLYER" .... thanks for going to the trouble of expressing those sentiments. It is "appreciated" :) Get back to us/me on the HJG forum should you need further support .... and I/we'll be glad to try'n help you out MRC
  11. Once again and For any FS2004 and FSX users whom may be interested .... "HJG SPRING/MAY 2023 NEW & UPGRADED FILE RELEASES". HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) has pleasure announcing its Spring releases .... these being HJG's 2nd release for the 2023 year. This latest release is composed of some 80X "NEW" and "UPGRADED" textures and 3D-models for the ARJ/BAe 146, B707, B727, B737, BAC ONE-ELEVEN, CV990, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, MD-80/90 virtual flight line currently offered by HJG and for both FS2004 and FSX. Textures subjects featured within this release relate to aircraft and operators from Africa, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, the Caribbean/Central America (both Honduras and Nicaragua), France (and Corsica), Indonesia, Japan, Spain, the UK and Ireland, and "the good old US-of-A" too .... covering the very early 1960's through present day period .... and among which both PAX, freight, flight testing, and military/government VIP operators are represented .... and which also include upgrades of some 20X classic DC-8 liveries from the 1960's and 70's, an "extremely rare" flight-testing CV990-A from the early 1960's; Some "equally rare" US-operated and hybrid liveried DC-9-10's from the late 1960's; A WHAT IF" B727-200 ADV livery which "very nearly" came into RW existence during the late 1970's; A number of (possibly) almost forgotten US operated BAC ONE-ELEVEN's from the 1980's as well as a number 1960's/70's/80's/and 90's operated UK registered aircraft too (all reconditioned textures); Along with a B737-400C currently operated by a US federal security agency too. And last but by by no means least of all .... The recently re-released HJG DC-8 project has now evolved into "V6.1" and "V6.2" 3D models .... in order to resolve a couple of reported and "EXTREMELY MINOR" animation related issues. All HJG supplied DC-8-10 through -43F 3D models are now "V6.2" offerings .... whilst all HJG supplied DC-8-51 through -73F 3D models remain "V6.1" offerings. This particular reflection of both time and aviation history, for FS, and a whole lot more too, is all currently, and [b]"FREELY"[/b], available for download from HJG at the following website address .... HJG Website Address https://simviation.com/hjg/ For further information concerning the content of this/HJG's latest releases please refer to the following-linked forum announcement ....

  12. In respect of the COMET III, IIIB, IV, IVB, IVC and other DMFS simulation (BAC ONE-ELEVEN, HD TRIDENT, and VC10/C1K) .... since obtaining authorization to hos these simulation (during 2021). HJG have not only reinstated all of DM's original textures, but, have also added many more of it's own too and that were not previously represented .... and is contemplating the release of many more textures in the near future as well. In addition to this .... HJG have since "fixed" all of the known previous issues associated with each the DMFS panels (mostly relating to engine startup and/or APU functionality) and made each properly properly FSX portable whilst retaining their FS2004 functionality too .... and whilst also adding a few more features to each that were never originally included but without altering DM's concept of how he wanted these panels to look and function. Some of the DMFS FDE's have also been further improved by HJG .... and both the TRIDENT and VC10 flight lines have been further slightly expanded as well. On the subject edits for the DMFS panels. HJG is currently outfitting each with a functional WX Radar ..... as is related within the following preview .... https://tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/10308/new-wx-radar-dmfs-panels PLEASE NOTE: The above referenced WX Radar featured panels are still undergoing re-release testing and are not yet publicly available. These are "older simulations" but the way each were originally compiled is "a credit to DM" and one of the factors that have resulted in their FS longevity to date .... and for those whom have elected to retain either FS2004 and/or FSX there's still "a lot of life left in these simulations yet". Within the boundaries of the 2 FS platforms for which these DMFS simulations are intended .... this's a length of string HJG can stretch to considerably greater length MRC
  13. One can put'em in P3D .... but .... just be aware certain animations likely won't work and which is why I prefer saying "not compatible". [quote]Any chance that HJG might update it to be compatible in P3D?[/quote] I wish it was as easy as that, but, unfortunately it's not ..... for a multitude of reasons ranging from the lack of source data to proprietary rights etc. HJG is, and will remain, an FS2004 and FSX show for the duration of its existence. MRC
  14. [quote]HJG and CalClassic are both available for P3D .... .... I too have Cal Classic installed in P3D but did not know that HJG could be adapted to P3D also. Is it a complicated procedure to bring HJG into P3D?[/quote] As a representative of HJG I need to say the (some of the) HJG supplied simulations might load into/display with P3D, but, they're actually not fully compatible (some model animations will not work or won't work properly) .... is the only "honest" statement and is what people need to be aware of. There's no resolution for this. HJG simulations were compatible with the very earliest of P3D versions (V1 and V2 I think), but, that compatibility was lost as P3D progressively advanced to later and its current version. I've already had this confirmed by another P3D user whom is a senior ADMIN at another FS service. HJG don't want anyone to be under any false impressions MRC
  15. For any FS2004 and FSX users whom may be interested .... "HJG 23rd Anniversary Birthday Mega-Release". HJG (Historic Jetliners Group) has pleasure announcing a mega-release in celebration of its 23rd anniversary/birthday. This's also HJG's first release for the 2023 year. This latest release is composed of some 270 "NEW" and "UPGRADED" textures for the ARJ/BAe 146, B707, B717-200, B720, B727, B737, BAC ONE-ELEVEN, C-135 SERIES, CV990, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, L-1011 TRISTAR, MD-80/90 virtual flight line currently offered by HJG and for both FS2004 and FSX. If previous HJG's releases have earned a reputation for being reflective of both time and aviation history, then, this latest release must go down in group history as being "a particularly colourful league of nations" in respect of its geographic/regional aircraft content .... featuring some of the greatest as well as least known among the worlds oldest/most classic and newest civil and military operators, supported by liveries ranging from the mid-1960's until to the present day .... among which a number of celebratory and historic hybrid, split identity, and even fictional retro liveries are also included .... along with "A WHOLE LOT MORE ". For further information concerning HJG's latest and 23rd anniversary birthday bash offerings please refer to the following-linked forum announcement ....
