I've been getting a lot of enquiries about these ever since we first announced/previewed the fact that they were on the way 
The CARAVELLE 10R (10B1R) I'm talking about
This aircraft represents the latest in the AFG line of classic French CARAVELLE jetlines which, thanks to Esa & Ari KAIHLANEN, Hakon SOREIDE, and Benoit GAURANT we're incredibly fortunate enough to be able to host here.
Why the delay .... some folk might and did ask
WELL .... we ran into an unanticipated engine gauge problem early last year which caused high N1 and low N2 readings
.... only above 25,000 FT though 
We therefore resolved to try to fix this issue rather than release a panel with a problem.
Apart from this one issue .... the CARAVELLE 10R (10B1R) models, textures, and both P&W JT8D soundpacks have all been ready and on "STANDBY" .... BUT .... not for much longer .... because the panel/gauge issue has now been"COMPLETELY FIXED" and is performing beautifully now .... SO .... this new CARAVELLE 10R (10B1R) project will be released as part of the next HJG website update !
Here are the first 8 introductory textures .... each of these are by Benoit GAURANT and which will accompany this new release ....
AERO LLOYD CARAVELLE 10R D-AAST (1986)
AIR AFRIQUE CARAVELLE 10R TU-TXQ (1977)
CTA CARAVELLE 10R HB-ICQ (1985)
ISTANBUL AIRLINES CARAVELLE 10R TU-ABA (1992)
STERLING AIRWAYS CARAVELLE 10R OY-SAY (1970)
TRANSWEDE CARAVELLE 10R SE-DEB (1987)
UTA CARAVELLE 10R F-BNRB (1968)
LAS CARAVELLE 10R (freighter) HK-3932X (2000)
AND .... here's the new panel which has been customized for these virtual CARAVELLE 10R (10B1) aircraft .... also by Benoit GAURANT ....

I want to thank Esa & Ari KAIHLANEN .... and .... Benoit GAURANT .... for the effort they have each applied to trouble-shoot and resolve the panel/engine gauges issue .... thanks guys !
I also want to thank both Mike MONCE and George CARTY too .... for their imput in relation to fine tuning the FDE for these aircraft (both PAX and freighter versions .... 2 seperate base packs for each) .... thanks guys !
AND .... I additionally want to thank my "AEROMUSICA" audio colleague Benoit PLAMONDON .... for his invaluable assistance, as always, in respect of the fine tuning our 2 new P&W JT8D fanjet soundpacks to the CARAVELLE FDE .... thanks Benoit !
