We’re there any enhancements/upgrades to the actual aircraft models by Nick for the hjg models? Only reason I ask is that I’ve noticed on the -50 there’s a model which has a lengthened engine nacelle to show the hushkitting, something that wasn’t available in the original models.
So did the -10, 20, 30 or 40 receive any other cosmetic upgrades

None of the DC-9 models offered here have been updated since they were first released .... around 2009 I think it was.
The models we currently offer are all further evolutions/updates of the JET CITY DC-9's.
JET CITY was Nick BOTAMER's personal project.
It was Nick whom produced the HJG DC-9 models .... none of which made it to Nick's own F/W FS website.
No further updates to any of these models are intended.
As previously posted our DC-9 model content is as follows ....
WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT EACH DC9 MODEL ?
Many of our DC9 aircraft base packs contain more than 1 model. We are occasionally asked about these.
Here is a list of all the DC9 models we currently offer and the differences between each.
PLEASE NOTE .... While not all DC9 series aircraft base packs use all model variations for constency the different aircraft series models all use the same naming conventions ....
Model.01
Base passenger model with forward passenger stairs.
Model.02
Base passenger model with forward and rear passenger stairs.
Model.03
Same as model.01 with additional satellite antenna on top of the fuselage.
Model.04
Same as model.02 with additional satellite antenna on top of the fuselage.
Model.05
Same as model.01 with extended engine nacelles housing hush kit modifications.
Model.06
Same as model.02 with extended engine nacelles housing hush kit modifications.
Model.07
Same as model.03 with extended engine nacelles housing hush kit modifications.
Model.08
Same as model.04 with extended engine nacelles housing hush kit modifications.
Model.09
Base cargo/combi model with forward stairs.
Model.10
Base cargo/combi model with forward and rear stairs.
Model.11
Same as model.09 with extended engine nacelles housing hush kit modifications.
Model.12
Same as model.10 with extended engine nacelles housing hush kit modifications.
Each DC9 comes with a number of operating doors. To open/close these doors use the following keyboard commands ....
For the main cabin door and lower deck cargo doors use:
Passenger Door (Shift+E+1)
For the galley service door use:
Cargo Door (Shift+E+2)
For the forward stairs use:
Concorde Visor Extend/Retract (not assigned by default) .... PLEASE NOTE: This animation does not work, and cannot be mafdde to work, in FSX
For the rear stairs use:
Tailhook (not assigned by default)
For the main deck cargo door use:
Wingfold (not assigned by default)

Remember the following advisory .... MEANING .... Only those models required for each aircraft pack are included within these. Nick BOTAMER is/was our DC-9/MD-80/-80 master .... and what we have is what he provided or otherwise deemed suitable .... so .... don't go putting the lot into any base pack otherwise you're going to risk ending up with a real dogs breakfast on your hands  Always stick to what we provide within each base pack .... or you could additionally run into problems with texture/model mapping in regard to specific aircraft configurations.

Any word as to why the -20 series has been removed?

Post by aerofoto - HJG Admin on Jul 4, 2019 23:39:17 GMT
Nothing's been removed ....
I checked the entire lot (DC-9-10 through -50 .... all base pack versions) just before last replying.
They're all there .... and accessible .... so far as I'm aware/can see (I presume you're referring to base packs).
Did you refresh "each of" the downloads pages "individually" and "prior to" trying to selecting anything ?

As I said .... the files are all there, and accessible.
As we're hosted freely on someone else's server the EZOIC adds are part of the deal .... if these present any issues (it shouldn't) then you may need to invest in an add-blocker.

Just reviewing everything once again .... and for a 3rd time today  .... I can confirm as follows .... All base packs are there and complete .... in so far as their content that's been supplied to us to date by Nick. It seems though that despite appearing within Nick's list .... we/HJG have never supplied MODELS.03, 07, and 08 for any Dc-9 versions .... or at least these have never been received by me to be able to distribute. The model content of each of our current DC-9 base packs there is, and should be, precisely as follows .... DC-9-10 JT8D-1 = Model.01, 02
DC-9-10 JT8D-5 = Model.01, 02
DC-9-10 JT8D-7 = Model.01, 02
DC-9-10F JT8D-7 = Model.10
DC-9-10F JT8D-9 = Model.10
DC-9-20 JT8D-9 = Model.02
DC-9-20 JT8D-11 = Model.02
DC-9-30 JT8D-7 = Model.01, 02, 04, 05, 06
DC-9-30 JT8D-9 = Model.01, 02, 04, 05, 06
DC-9-30 JT8D-11 = Model.01, 02, 04, 05, 06
DC-9-30 JT8D-15 = Model.01, 02, 04, 05, 06
DC-9-30 JT8D-17 = Model.01, 02, 04, 05, 06
DC-9-30 REFAN = Model.13
DC-9-30F JT8D-9 = Model.09, 10, 11, 12
DC-9-30F JT8D-11 = Model.09, 10, 11, 12
DC-9-40 JT8D-11 = Model.01, 02, 06
DC-9-40 JT8D-15 = Model.01, 02, 06
DC-9-50 JT8D-11 = Model.01, 02, 06
DC-9-50 JT8D-15 = Model.01, 02, 06 If Nick wishes to contact me in regard to the missing models we don't have then he's most welcome to do so .... privately  Mark C AKL/NZ |

Sorry mark, dont mean to put a dent in your time After speaking to Nick, he made 03,07 and 08 in the chance that their real life counterpart showed up, but they didnt so he never released those models as they werent correct to R/L. I hope this clears that up for you too |

"FORGIVEN" And that explanation (from Nick .... via yourself) does does now adequately resolve the minor discrepancy Mark C AKL/NZ |
