"ORIENTATION NOTES"

Welcome to "PART 2" .... and the conclusion of HJG's December/Christmas 2021 website update.

For the benefit of those unaware .... "PART 1" of this release can (again) be viewed per the the following link ....
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/10056/website-update-december-20th-2021

Unlike "PART 1" the content of this/"PART 2" release requires some explanation/s .... all of which are very simple to comprehend.

The entire content of this/"PART 2" relates to the HJG hosted DMFS files as follows ....


1. We've introduced "NEW" aircraft type specific base packs for TRIDENT 1C, TRIDENT 1E, TRIDENT SUPER 3B, and SUPER VC10 1154 (combi) .... each of which are supported by their own accompanying textures and customized FDE (which may be further customized later). Given the varying weight and engine thrust assignments each of these simulations does performs differently from their counterparts .... so long as one flies each simulation properly to start with of course


2. Thanks to Mike MONCE, we've developed and are offering separate "NEW" FDE packages for TRIDENT 2E, TRIDENT 3B, VC10 1101, VC10 1103 (combi), SUPER VC10 1151, and VC10/C1K .... to replace the original aircraft base pack contained FDE for each of these DMFS simulations. Similar FDE updates are "are" nearing completion for each of the BAC ONE-ELEVEN's and COMET's too, but, won't be available until later. These FDE updates are composed of separate FS2004 and FSX specific AIRCRAFT.CFG files only .... there's no need to change any of the AIR.FILE's.

PLEASE NOTE: These FDE updates are intended for use with "those simulations mentioned here-in only" .... not any of their other aircraft sub version counterparts.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: The new TRIDENT 1C, TRIDENT 1E, and TRIDENT SUPER 3B base packs already contain FDE's updated to the same standard.

PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: Each of these FDE update packages are located with aircraft type sections on their respective downloads pages and are "clearly hilited by yellow banners" .... one can't miss them


3. For a long time the original DMFS panels each contained a number of gauge compilation errors/limitations (causing issues in regard to APU and/or engine start-ups for the BAC ONE-ELEVEN's, COMET's, and TRIDENT's in particular) .... but .... thanks to George CARTY we've been able to successfully "FIX/REPAIR" these issues .... whilst also making each of the HJG hosted DMFS panels both FS2004 native and FSX portable.

PLEASE NOTE: All HJG hosted DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN, COMET, and TRIDENT panels remain both 2D and VC types .... whilst those for both the VC10 and VC10/C1K remain 2D type panels only .... all as originally compiled.

PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: The appearance/presentation and functionality of each of these "FIXED/REPAIRED" panels remains totally unchanged .... except for the fact that each now works better than previously.


4. Thanks to Benoit PLAMONDON we also have pleasure offering "NEW" engine type/aircraft type and FDE customized hi-fidelity sound packs for the entire HJG hosted DMFS flight line. All of these sound packs are based on authentic/actual R/W recordings .... in respect of both their interior and exterior audio elements and are also far superior to Benoit's much earlier released audio for these simulations. These sound packs are offered as separate FS2004 and FSX specific audio compilations .... and in addition to the original (FS2004 exclusive) DMFS audio which also remain accessible here too.


This concludes all necessary explanation/s of the "PART 2" content of this HJG December/Christmas 2021 website update .... which we hope will provide hours of FS enjoyment for many and especially in conjunction with each of these fine DMFS simulations.


2021's has been another "challenging" year for many of us. Given continuing global circumstances we've all been affected/disadvantaged .... to some extent .... hopefully not too adversely though, but, we extend our sincere sympathies to those whom have been seriously impacted. Despite this having been yet another year of upheaval and uncertainty .... HJG's still managed to deliver some 440X "NEW" and "UPDATED" files for your "FREE" FS enjoyment, as well as having answered, and hopefully resolved, your issues too .... all of which have been "our pleasure" since we "DO" like to "TRY" (at least) to help people enjoy and get the very best out of everything we produce and/or offer. In addition to this we've also managed to rescue the DMFS flight line (at very short notice) .... so .... despite certain trials and impositions throughout 2021 I guess it's not been too bad an FS year, but, we implore people to stay "SAFE", be "STRONG", and above all remain "POSITIVE" too

Refresh your internet browser (use SHIFT + F5 keyboard commands) "prior to" viewing and trying to accessing the latest offerings on each of the HJG DOWNLOADS pages.

Be aware all files offered by HJG are both FS2004 native and FSX portable .... "except where otherwise stated". PLEASE NOTE: An updated statement outlining precisely what is, and isn't, FSX compatible "IS" posted on our forum as follows ....
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/8910/fsx-compatible-portable

Contact us in the event of any download queries or problems .... but .... all technical queries must be posted on the appropriate "AIRCRAFT TYPE SUPPORT" forum pages and "not in response to this website update announcement". Notice concerning broken file links may be posted in response to this announcement though.

PLEASE NOTE: HJG does not provide technical support via its Face Book page.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: There's no point, or sense, in seeking technical assistance for HJG files outside this forum.

A "DONATE" tab is now a permanent feature on the HJG Home page. This´s common practice now among most major FS websites. It´s intended to facilitate donations to SIMVIATION.COM .... HJG's service provider. PLEASE NOTE: HJG is, and always will, remain a 100% "FREEWARE" FS website. Donations are "purely voluntary" on the part of each individual .... but .... are "VERY MUCH APPRECIATED". Every contribution helps maintain the service that allows HJG's vast and constantly expanding inventory to exist for everyone's enjoyment.

Another fabulous Christmas present from the amazing hard working team at HJG. 🎅🏻 🤶🏻

Thank you so much.

[alex94]

Thank you HJG team, absolutely wonderful prezzie just before xmas

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

By the nature of its content .... these latest releases have taken "quite a bit of time and energy" to assemble.

Those whom have taken time to express appreciation, per responses to both PART 1 and Part 2 of this release, "THANK YOU" for doing so .... because it "IS" appreciated


Just some important service notes/details I want to stress in relation to the "DMFS panel fixes" ....


1."Previously" (not now though) the BAC ONE-ELEVEN startup procedures didn't work in FSX .... and didn't work properly in FS9 either (auto-start in particular in the case of FS9). Both manual and auto startup procedures "ARE" functioning properly now though .... in both FS interior and exterior view/s. BUT PLEASE NOTE .... when starting the engines the APU "must always" be started first .... or the engine simply will not start. The manual procedure for this is very simple .... as outlined per SECTION 4.00 of our now expanded/updated forum based online manual for these simulations. The FS auto-start procedure is also very simple .... as presented per SECTION 4.00-A of this manual .... and, unlike was originally the, this procedure will now auto-start the APU, then the engines, and then auto-shutdown the APU afterward. The startup procedures otherwise remain in accordance with the recommended DMFS procedures .... as is the case with all other functionalities associated with these 2D and VC panels.

BAC ONE-ELEVEN MANUAL
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9973/bac-eleven-manual


2. Similar applies to the TRIDENT panels too. "Previously" (again not now though) the TRIDENT startup procedures were also handicapped .... in that the APU Starter Switch was stuck .... and resulted in APU startup issues with both FSX and FS9). Both the APU and engine startup procedures "ARE" now functioning properly though .... using either manual or FS engine auto-start procedures and in both FS interior and exterior view/s. BUT AGAIN PLEASE NOTE .... in the case od manual engine startup the APU "must always" be started first (or the engines will not start) .... then the engines .... AND JUST AS IMPORTANTLY .... the engines "must always" be started in the order of #3, #1, and #2 .... precisely as outlined per SECTIONS 4.00, 4.00-A, 4.00B, and 4.00C of our now expanded/updated forum based online manual. Unlike was the case originally, this procedure will also auto-start the APU, then the engines (in the same order), and then auto-shutdown the APU afterward. Be aware though that the TRIDENT 3B and SUPER 3B Booster engine (only used for TO and initial climb segment and until clean) can only be started "MANUALLY" .... as is also related within both manuals. Again the startup procedures are otherwise remain in accordance with the recommended DMFS procedures .... as is also the case with all other functionalities associated with these 2D and VC panels also.

HS121 TRIDENT MANUAL
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9975/hs121-trident-manual


3. "Previously" (not now either though) there were issues associated with manual engine startup (only) for the COMET's. This too has been fixed .... the DMFS recommended procedures now work properly in both FSX and FS9 .... both manual and auto options .... and in both interior and exterior view/s also .... just as is outlined per SECTIONS 4.00 and 4.00-A of our expanded/updated forum based online manual (the COMET engines can be started in any particular order and GPU assistance has never been simulated). When shutting the engines down though .... and using either the manual or FS engine auto-shutdown procedures .... the 2 "RELIGHT" switches must be selected "OFF" .... or it will not be possible to shutdown the engines at all. Once again the startup/shutdown procedures for the COMET otherwise remain in accordance with the recommended DMFS procedures .... as is also the case with all other functionalities associated with these 2D and VC panels as well.

DH106 COMET MANUAL
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9974/dh106-comet-manual


Full flying guides and references will be added to both the BAC ONE-ELEVEN and COMET manuals later (as per those already provided for the TRIDENT, VC10, and C1K manuals .... per SECTIONS 5.00 and 6.00 within these manuals). Time simply didn't permit my be able to complete this clarified information prior to this release .... despite the fact information currently contained within each of these manuals is otherwise "basically" sufficient.


Again .... I'd like to thank George CARTY for repairing these panels for FSX and FS9 use, and for successfully adding the cosmetic features to each that have now been applied .... and all in a manner that hasn't changed the appearance or functionality of any of these panels. We hope these fixes, and improvements, will add to peoples enjoyment of these panels/simulations.

All queries relating to these panels and simulations are to be posted on the "DAVID MALTBY FLIGHT SIM SUPPORT" page of this forum .... "not in response to these release announcements" please

First of all: You guys are fantastic and did a great job. Many Thank Yous to the HJG-team!

Now my question: Are the Comets and One Elevens also updated like the Tridents and VC10s or are they still coming? Just asking, because I fly mostly the One Eleven and sometimes the Comet of the birds from Mr. Maltby in my FS9 and judging from the equally fantastic work you awsome guys did with the Vistaliners 727 (still waiting for the 'HJG-treatment' of the 100-series to be on the same level as the 200) and Tristar, it's better to wait until the updated Base Packs are out, then I can enjoy all DM-jetliners in the full.

Klaus

PS: I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2022.

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

Danke Klaus .... und frohe Weihnachten

Let me clarify for you

The BAC ONE-ELEVEN, COMET, TRIDENT, VC10, and VC10/C1K panels have each been updated/"FIXED". All previously known problems have been repaired so these panels can now be enjoyed in both FSX and FS9 .... and each also have some simple but nice cosmetic features added that were previously lacking. As I keep saying (because it's true) .... the look and functionality of each of these panels has not changed. It's just that everything now works/runs "BETTER" .... in both FS2004 and FSX.

"NEW AND FIRST TIME RELEASE" aircraft base packs and textures have been released by us for the TRIDENT 1C, TRIDENT 1E, TRIDENT SUPER 3B, and SUPER VC10 1154 only .... these already contain our own new FDE edits.

The FDE (both CFG and AIR data) within each of DM's BAC ONE-ELEVEN, DH106 COMET, HS TRIDENT 2E and -3B, VC10, and VC10/CqK base pack/texture combo files remain his "original data" .... unchanged.

New FSX and FS9 specific FDE files (AIRCRAFT.CFG data only .... AIR.FILE replacements aren't necessary) have been released by us for the TRIDENT 2E and -3B, and both VC10 and VC10/C1K only at this stage. These new FDE's are separate file packages (for each of these 2 aircraft type groups) and these are hilited "IN YELLLOW" below the original DMFS aircraft base pack/texture combo packages for these simulations. The idea is .... our new FDE should be added to each of these DMFS base packs to replace the original data.

For personal reasons I wasn't able to complete similar FDE edits for the BAC ONE-ELEVEN's and COMET's (they "ARE" in need of it .... otherwise I wouldn't be contemplating it) in time for this release .... so they'll have to come later.

As for the B727-100 model replacements .... we'll get there eventually, but, it requires "A HELL OF A LOT OF WORK AND INTERNAL ORGANIZING" in order to accommodate them .... and I have to "pick my battles" at the moment

In the case of the TRISTAR's .... nothing further is planned at this stage .... or ever was.

In regard to anything/everything else .... WELL .... all we can currently do is release what we're currently able to release

Thanks Mark for the reply. I won't push you or anybody else from the HJG-team. I was just asking since English isn't my native language and sometimes (very rarely in fact) I have my problems understanding texts written in English.

Keep up the fantastic work. The entire HJG-team (this includes the original creators of some of the birds offered here like the ones from Mr. Maltby) is so awsome!

Super update guys, thank you all for the hard work! The issue with engine & APU start up on some of the David Maltby models was the only fault I could find on David's superb packages, which prevented Benoit's soundpacks from working properly during the engine start process. Now that is fixed, and the new sounds are amazing! :-)

Out of curiosity, why are there new FDEs for some of the original David Maltby models? Were there issues/inaccuracies with the original FDEs?

Thanks again for the new presents!

As you say .... those startup issues are "ALL FIXED" now (thanks to our very own George CARTY) .... and for both FS9 and FSX.

why are there new FDEs for some of the original David Maltby models?

There are/will be FDE edits for all of the ONE-ELEVEN's and COMET's too. Due to the imposition of R/W matters prior to Christmas I couldn't complete these others in time for this release .... and didn't want to hurry them.

For the same reason I wasn't able to complete the fuller/expanded versions of our own form based/online manuals for the ONE-ELEVEN'S and COMET's either .... despite the fact what's presented by us "is" mostly adequate .... but .... will be better still once I've had time to complete everything "to the standard I want to see presented here"

Were there issues/inaccuracies with the original FDEs?

"Per what's been released so far" there are a number of "corrections" to either better represent/differentiate "each series" from another among aircraft family groups .... and/or .... to further improve some aspects of their flight and handling performance/s which we (from our experience) identified would further benefit these already great DMFS simulations. Trust us .... these edits "are" necessary .... and "do" make a difference .... provided each simulation's flown properly/correctly to start with of course

Got it Mark, thanks for the explanation! The new packages are indeed a pleasure to fly now!
