I'm going to use this thread as a way to submit the bugs more clearly to JustFlight support form, without making a mess of the message, so I'm just going to link this forum post to them.

This one has issues with the window lights reflecting/showing on the wings and the weird engine lighting too


Light and a small texturing problem on the belly of the plane, this is a DHL texture(red and white) from the original DC-8 50 and 70 series.


Light reflections missing on this small part of the wing of other Dc-8 models


Seems to be an error on the model of the DC-8-50 to 70 series, with the flaps going through the model  a little


Another angle of the same issue above


Same issue on the 50's series


And on the 60's series

Sad thing is this is just lazy workmanship, and I consider this spitting in the face of the DC-8.

Can someone from Just flight tell me if I should send another e-mail for support telling that I've updated this thread, or just a small bump with the new pictures is enough?

OCD flare ups here! haha



Rivets are missing on the engine pylon


Weird light/reflection/specular mapping



They(left wing) seem weirdly misaligned compared to the right wing

In the KLM DC-8-6x (don't remember exactly) the stretched one, the flaps textures are missing and the model is showing the flaps all black without the flap textures. Easy fix copy the flap textures from another repaint and paste it in that KLM texture folder, but would be nice to include this fix in the next patch.

I've done several flights now with various DC-8 models and I'm often having fun. However, I sincerely hope that the following issues can be sorted out to turn this DC-8 with potential into a great add-on:

- Fuel tanks and management: IMHO at the moment it is weird: e.g. the left FSX-fuel tank is engine No 2 main and the order bears no logic. So I often lose an engine due to lack of fuel. Therefore I can't use it on longer flights.
- Engine start up should work without CTRL Shift F4.
- GPS sometimes black: CTRL E is the remedy which should not be. (Battery is on)
-Visual: I love the engines on the 61 and older. However, the engines on the 62 and 63 are not as convincingly done; maybe it's just the textures? They don't look finished.
 
Thanks for listening to us and improving her.

The Engine of the -50's series, needs a bit of an update. I don't if it should be model only or texture only, or even both.
But it needs this extra "depth" or "depression" or angled on the reverses.



You can see what i mean over here

another example:


It also needs the extra ventilation or whatever is called port in front of the engine. I noticed that the model seems to be modelled correctly, but the Delta texture I'm currently being fixated on seems to be missing.




Another example



The OAT Gauge is showing the wrong information



Different shades of grey on the wings

Man,I am really bored with this DC-8. I bought it and i need to help the developers to set the correct parameters on the aircraft? So, lets explain. Tip 1. Man, no one auto-pilot over the world looses the HDG management when descending.Tip 2. Altitude reminders is set by 100ft at once and not 1 by 1 as we can find at this DC-8. Your support dont answer. Just automatic messages. Your Facebook page is announcing and selling this kind of Project?

Like with the Viscount the DC-8 should never have been launched!! It is not just a matter of re funding the client - it's the principle of sub standard products and support service.
