DC-8-30 checklists?

[aeroart]

Hi,

I downloaded and installed the DC-8-30 last night, but can't find any documentation, particularly the checklist (speeds, etc.). Did I miss it in the package or is it available elsewhere.

By the way, very nice sim.

Thanks for your help - and the model!.

Apart from my DC8 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES posting (on the ABOUT HJG AIRCRAFT forum page) .... and my yet incomplete DC8 BASIC FLYING GUIDES .... there is no documentation available here.

I can refer you to the following items however ....

DC8 PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS document by Matt ZAGORAN .... available at FLIGHT SIM.COM per the following file name ....

dc8perf.zip

This contains actual AOM reference/performance data for DC8-20, -50, -61, and -62

Also ....

DC8 PERFORMANCE CHARTS document by Jim HALINDA .... available at FLIGHT SIM.COM per the following file name ....

dc8perfcharts.zip

This contains actual AIR CANADA AOM reference/performance data for DC8-40, -50,-61, and-63

ALSO ....

There are a selection of checklist documents by Werner SCHOTT and for the DC8 50, -62, -63, and -73 .... each document is a separate download. The -50, -63, and -73 checklists/documents are written specifically for the original versions of the HJG DC8 panels, but, the -62 document is intended for an entirely different DC8 panel .... none-the-less it should be a good basic reference should you desire to use it. These 3 separate checklist documents are also available at FLIGHTSIM.COM, but, I don't know the file names .... just search ....

Long time HJG associates will recall that we did once offer a basic a panel document, but, these DC8 panels have advanced considerably since that time .... and that information has since been superseded by my own DC* PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES data which I referred to at the start of this reply.

All of the material referred to above will provide you with "ALMOST EVERYTHING" you really need to know regarding these DC8 panels.

Thank you, Mark. I'll take a look those.

Regarding V-speeds, when flying the -30 I use the speeds for the -40 and they seem to work fine for me.
