Fuel Panel

This was brought up along with a few other issues with the different versions.  Against my wishes the developers decided for simplicity sake to use a more generic layout for all the versions.  For what it's worth, I also lobbied hard for 71 and 72 series as well as freighter versions for all aircraft.

Oh, it's sure as hell the most decent DC-8 ever, but we still would like the most we can get.

Although there is always room for improvement and there is always a wish list, to be honest I think that what we have supplied in the DC-8 50-70 pack is actually pretty decent (actually  good in my opinion) and excellent value for money. That is the thing: You are working in a commercial environment and are advertising things, that are not present, even though I PAID for them. I again quote the product page: Special programming code has been used to re-create the complex fuel storage and delivery systems for each engine - the authenticity is such that you can follow the procedures laid down in official flight manuals for setting up the fuel panels and levers for different situations and, of course, the correct engine start sequence.  I tried using an original DC-8-63 manual and it would in no way work, as it was supposed to work. I even discovered, that no matter what the lever position is, fuel would be fed to the engines from the center tank with the corresponding lever in the off position (I contacted support about this). At this point, I have to say the behaviour of the developement team is very ignorant. Things that were already mentioned / criticized for the -10 to -40 series have not been improved for this model, which is sad

Jettrader. Please submit a tech support request ref the fuel flow issue. I will get the development team to look into it. We are very careful not to advertise something that is not correct (no good for anybody) so what we said should be happening. In the meantime if you are unhappy please contact us and request a refund. We do not want you or anybody unhappy with any of our products so if that is the case then we will offer you an exchange for another product or a refund - its your choice.
