ABOUT THIS WEBSITE UPDATE

Thank you for all your attentions there Dan .... we're all very much obliged !

Welcome everyone .... to another HJG website update full of classic jetliner nostalgia.

The following notes are intended to clarify details relating what's offered within our latest website update ....

1. A new B727 panel Guages/Core Files package was released on "July 2nd" (uploaded on "July 15th) to fix an FSX (only) related issue concerning disappearing radio stack frequencies. This replacement data contains a new "RP727_2.GAU" file. The last modified date for this replacement file reads "Sunday June 28th 2009 09:41:32 p.m". FSX users affected by this issue, and whom haven't already replaced this gauge file to correct this particular problem, should do so immediately.

PLEASE NOTE .... only the original RP727_2.GAU file needs being replaced. All other original B727 panels Gauges/Core Files data is fine. PLEASE NOTE ALSO .... FS2004 users shouldn't concern themselves with this advisory. FS2004 is not affected by this particular issue.

Remember .... both FS2004 and FSX users installing these B727 Panels for the very first time must perform a complete installation of the entire Guages/Core Files package provided. This should be done strictly in accordance with our recommended installation instructions included within each file downloaded !

2. Our new B707-320B SCD subject (CATHAY PACIFIC 1977) is located on the "B707-320B ADVC" downloads page. This subject features a working forward fuselage maindeck cargo door. This cargo door animation works as per that of our B707-320C (and all our other freight door equipped B707/720 aircraft too) .... using the EXTEND CONCORDE VISOR FULLY and RETRACT CONCORDE VISOR FULLY keyboard commands (per SHIFT+F6 and SHIFT+F7 commands respectively) which must be manually assigned/activated within the FS OPTIONS/CONTROLS/ASSIGNMENTS keyboard command options menu before this animation can function.

3. We're indebted to Allied Flight Group for authorizing HJG to host their superb simulation of the classic/historic French SE-210 SUD CARAVELLE jetliner .... thanks Esa, Haakon, and Benoit !

All CARAVELLE aircraft subjects are located on the new "SE-210 CARAVELLE" downloads page of the HJG website. This new addition to the HJG inventory features each of the following CARAVELLE Aircraft Base Pack versions ....

CARAVELLE 1/1A
CARAVELLE 3 (early)
CARAVELLE 3 (late)
CARAVELLE 6N (early)
CARAVELLE 6N (late)
CARAVELLE 6R

The CARAVELLE 1/1A model is a brand new/debut release by AFG/Esa KHAILANEN .... thanks Esa for taking on this particular important and historical bird !

We appreciate our reference to both "EARLY" and "LATE" CARAVELLE versions (above) isn't official nomenclature for these aircraft. We do this to imply both early and late aircraft production versions. As these aircraft represent different MGTOW capabilities (simulated within the FDE) separate Aircraft Base Packs are necessary .... and hence our need to differentiate accordingly. Our CARAVELLE aircraft texture inventory is therefore separated into "EARLY" and "LATE" aircraft versions and is clearly labeled accordingly.

PLEASE NOTE .... despite our CARAVELLE 3 and CARAVELLE 6N Aircraft Base Packs being labeled "EARLY" and "LATE" versions, the UI IDENTIFIER within ADD TO AIRCRAFT/CFG data contained within texture downloads relating to each of these these subjects remains labeled "SE-210 CARAVELLE 3" or "SE 210 CARAVELLE 6N" respectively .... forcing FS to display both variations of these aircraft under these same CARAVELLE 3 and 6N categories within the MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu. Should you desire FS to display these aircraft as separate categories (according to stated HJG "EARLY and "LATE" conventions) then this may easily be accomplished as follows ....

A. Open the AIRCRAFT.CFG file for each CARAVELLE sub type.

B. Identify the following data line within each CFG add-on texture which will appear as follows ....

ui_type= Caravelle 3

or

ui_type= Caravelle 6N

C. Simply edit these UI_TYPE= data lines with the titles "EARLY" or "LATE" so as to then read as follows ....

ui_type= Caravelle 3 (early)

ui_type= Caravelle 3 (late)

ui_type= Caravelle 6N (early)

ui_type= Caravelle 6N (late)

D. Save this edit.

This will then force these aircraft/textures to appear within the FS Aircraft Selection Menu under separate "EARLY" and "LATE" aircraft type categories.

Several variations of CARAVELLE panels have been provided .... featuring different airline/operator configurations. Each panel features the latest updates by Benoit GUARANT. It is important to use the correct aircraft panels for each aircraft type or inaccurate performances will result. PLEASE NOTE .... any of the 6 provided CARAVELLE 3 panel configurations may be used with any CARAVELLE 3 type Aircraft Base Pack and textures. The single CARAVELLE 6N panel should only be used with CARAVELLE 6N type Aircraft Base Packs and textures. And either of the 2 CARAVELLE 6R panels may used with any CARAVELLE 6R type Aircraft Base Pack or textures.

The ADD TO AIRCRAFT files accompanying texture downloads additionally feature a particular panel recommendation for use with each aircraft texture. Should anyone still be uncertain regarding which panel should be used with any particular CARAVELLE aircraft type then kindly refer to the "CARAVELLE WHAT PANEL & WHICH PLANE" posting which appears on the "CARAVELLE SUPPORT" forum page.

All CARAVELLE panels should be installed inside the FSFSCONV folder of MSFS .... as recommended per accompanying installation instructions. However .... these panels may, if you prefer, also be installed directly within their corresponding aircraft type folders and the PANEL= data lines of each AIRCRAFT.CFG file then appropriately edited in accordance with each specific aircraft panel folder name .... the choice is yours !

2 CARAVELLE soundpacks have been added to a new "SUD EST/AEROSPATIALE" sounds page which has been added to our downloads page. These soundpacks are as follows ....

[/b]RR AVON TURBOJET (no reverse) .... for CARAVELLE 1/1A, 3, and 6N aircraft and which does not .... intentionally .... feature reverse thrust WAV

RR AVON TURBOJET .... for CARAVELLE 6R aircraft (only) and which does features reverse thrust WAV[/b]

For best audio results use correct soundpack for each CARAVELLE aircraft version. Should anyone be uncertain regarding which soundpack should be used with any particular CARAVELLE aircraft type then kindly refer to the "CARAVELLE WHAT SOUND & WHICH PLANE" posting which appears on the "CARAVELLE SUPPORT" forum page.

"CARAVELLE PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING" notes have also been posted on the "CARAVELLE SUPPORT" forum page. These notes explain more fully/clearly the brief presented above .... and many other details too in relation to file installation and aircraft performance. These notes will be constantly revised in the future. A basic CARAVELLE FLYING GUIDE has also been posted here as an extension to these notes.

4. DC8-61CF subjects (TRANS INTERNATIONAL 1968 and 1973) are located on the "DC8-61F" downloads page. DC8-63CF subjects (ATLANTIS 1970, SEABOARD WORLD 1974, and TRANS INTERNATIONAL 1970 and 1976) are located on the "DC8-63F" downloads page. Both of these subjects feature animated/working forward fuselage maindeck cargo doors.

5. Just another reminder for fans of our new DC9 flightline. PLEASE NOTE .... we don't, as yet, have any DC9 type panels to offer .... BUT .... we do have a new DC9 panel project which is currently under development. Release of this completed project is still a while away yet. A little about this project may be viewed per the following posting which appears on the "PREVIEWS" page of the HJG forum ....

Another fine example of the great work and effort by the HJG Team. Great work guys.

Under.....NEW PANELS & GAUGES/CORE FILES.....I see:

.....CARAVELLE 6R (United Air Lines configuration).....

However, I don't see a texture for that aircraft in UAL livery. Is one of those in the works as well?

[ravilamir]

Hi!

First, thanks Mark and all for bringing these fine Caravelle to a new audience!

Skyking
These aircraft have been available already for sometime at AVSIM and Flightsim.

Hey Sherlock, there's also a Sterling conf. so you never know, do you?

Is there a problem with the 727-200 Tunisair?

I keep getting "The requested URL /hjg/aircraft/boeing/b727-200/bb727-200_tunisair_1993_2h3_ts-jhn.zip was not found on this server."

So...does that mean it's in the works or that I have good eyes?

[christrott]

I can't speak as to whether there's reworks in progress, but the original base packs -
