"ORIENTATION NOTES"


"WELCOME" everyone .... to "PART 1" our last website update for the 2020 year.

"PART 2" .... the final installment .... will follow this release separately and ASAP

2020's been "a hell of a year/something of a roller coaster ride" for most of us .... and to the extent that many will probably be pleased to see the tail end of it as we place our hope/s in the future, for a prompt and successful, recovery during 2021.

Despite a year of commercial and economic turbulence we've still managed to deliver some 586X files (or will have by the time "PART 2" of our end of year release becomes available) for your "FREE" FS enjoyment, as well as answering your queries and resolving your issues too .... and which has been "our pleasure"

We do like to "TRY" and help people enjoy/get the best out of everything of what we produce and offer.

As we begin closing-off 2020 .... here's what we're pleased to offer as "PART 1" of our end of year release/s ....

- "NEW" B707 Aircraft Base Packs.
- "NEW C-135 Aircraft Base Packs.
- "NEW" B707 Panel Gauges/Core Files.
- "NEW" customized B707/C-135 sound packs .... separate FS2004 and FS9 specific versions.
- Minor but "essential" revisions to 5X (only) of our B707 panels.

To further clarify the content and precise implications of these latest releases here's a few virtual NOTAMS concerning what's included, so, pay close attention to the following details please ....


1.
All "UPDATED" B707 base packs are now "V7.1".

All "UPDATED" C-135 base packs are now "V6.1".

Each of these "UPDATED" aircraft base packs contain FDE revisions (by Mike MONCE and myself) which resolve a number of long standing performance related issues associated with these simulations. Some of these base packs also contain additional model files too in support of new texture requirements .... whilst 7X "NEW" aircraft base pack have also been released in order to better support textures for the aircraft subjects we currently represent or may release in the future.

PLEASE NOTE: All original B707/C-135 SERIES aircraft base packs must now be "DELETED" and replaced with these "UPDATED" file versions. All textures associated with the original base pack files can still be used with these latest aircraft base packs (without any problem/s at all) .... along with their supporting FLIGHTSIM.XX/CFG based texture data too. These "UPDATED" and "NEW" aircraft base packs "MUST" be used in conjunction with the "UPDATED" B707 Panels Gauges/Core Files package .... and each of the "NEW" B707/C-135 Sound Packs too .... in order for everything to work well.

2.
The "NEW" B707 Panels Gauges/Core Files package is "V1.7".

This "NEW" package contains panel gauges revisions (by George CARTY) which improve a number of features associated with our B707 panels (engine startups in particular are now slightly slower as well as being a lot smoother too .... provided the engines are started correctly of course). Also included within this B707 Panels Gauges/Core Files update is revised panel audio too (separate from the new sound pack offerings) .... resulting in better/more authentic ground-to-aircraft support audio during engine startup procedures.

PLEASE NOTE: The original B707 Panels Gauges/Core files package must now be deleted and "REPLACED" with both the Panel Gauges and Sounds content of this "NEW" file version. This updated B707 Panels Gauges/Core files package "MUST" also be used in conjunction with both the "UPDATED" B707/C-135 Aircraft Base Packs and each of the "NEW" B707/C-135 Sound Packs.

3.
Each of the "NEW" B707/C-135 Sound Packs (by Benoit PLAMONDON) have been produced especially for the HJG B367-80, B707, B720, and C-135 simulations .... each have been "customized/fine tuned" in accordance with the "UPDATED" B707 V7.1 and C-135 V6.1 FDE files.

11X "FS2004" specific sound packs have been provided.

11X "FSX" specific sound packs have also been provided.

PLEASE NOTE: All original HJG supplied B367-80, B707, B720, and C-135 Sound Packs must now be deleted and "REPLACED" with these "NEW" audio files. "DO NOT" use FSX specific sound packs in FS2004 .... and .... "DO NOT use the FS2004 specific sound packs in FSX. Each of these superb new B707/C-135 Sound Packs "MUST" be used in conjunction with both the "UPDATED" B707 V1.7 and C-135 V1.6 Aircraft Base Packs along with HJG B707 panels and their "UPDATED" V1.7 Panels Gauges/Core Files package in order for everything to work correctly/as intended.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: As these "NEW" sound packs are customized for use with HJG B707/C-135 FDE data they may not function as well with non-HJG B707 supplied simulations .... they will continue work, but, likely not with the intended/desired audio playback fidelity.

4.
The "UPDATED" B707-138B 1965, B707-320B/C 1970, B707-323B/C 1970, B707-700, and E-3D CFM-56 Panels are now each "V2"

It is "STRONGLY RECOMMENDED" that original versions of "just these 5 panels only" be deleted and "REPLACED" with these updated versions.

PLEASE NOTE: Only the 5X above-mentioned panels should be replaced .... "no other currently supplied HJG B707/C-135 Panel needs replacement". The "UPDATED" B707-138B V2 Panel features corrected V-REF data for T/O .... whilst Each of the other 4X "UPDATED" panels feature main panel-to-external environment view perspective adjustments that aid RWY visibility during approaches to landing. All HJG supplied B707/C-135 panels must be used in conjunction with the "UPDATED" B707/C-135 Aircraft Base Packs, "UPDATED" B707 Panels Gauges/Core Files .... and each of the "NEW" B707/C-135 Sound Packs also.

5.
In support of our updated B367-80/B707/B720/and C-135 projects and for the very first time we are also offering manual for these simulations. These have been posted on our "BOEING SUPPORT" forum page as per the following titles and their respective links ....

B707 - Installation & Handling Notes
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9861/b707-installation-handling-notes

C-135 (series) - Installation & Handling Notes
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9860/135-series-installation-handling-notes

Everything one needs to know in order to be able to enjoy or otherwise get the very best out of these simulations is covered within this documentation, so, we encourage familiarization with it and regardless of one's level of FS knowledge and experience. "SECTIONS 1/7/8/9" .... at the very least .... of this documentation should be considered "essential reading/information".

PLEASE NOTE: The above-mentioned/linked support/reference documentation is a constant WIP. Both manuals will be updated accordingly .... "as we perceive any need to do so" .... and as is the case in regard to the manuals for HJG simulations.

6.
Peter LIDDELL has compiled another of his excellent aviation trivia quizes. This particular quiz focuses on "airlines in the movies". It is open to all current HJG forum members .... whom are not HJG group members .... and may be accessed per the following link ....

tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9863/holiday-2020-hjg-trivia

The prize for the first correct entry will be early access/pre-release supply of "a number of HJG textures" to be advised by us an then selected by the winner. It is a modest prize only .... we appreciate that .... BUT .... we stress this, and all HJG competitions too, are about "FUN ONLY" ..... HOWEVER .... if anyone is able, or willing to, sponsor "a more substantial sort of prize", then, please contact Peter LIDDELL per either HJG forum PM, or, the address featured within the quiz. In the meantime .... have "FUN"


IN SUMMARY ...

This is a B367-80/B707/B720 and C-135 Aircraft Base Pack, Panel gauges/core files, and Sound Pack update (aside from the "recommended" replacement of just 5X only panels). All of these files work together, in relation to each other, therefore each of these ingredients are essential in order for these simulations to be able to "function properly" .... as we intend.

File removal and re-installation is a very simple and non-time consuming process .... so please .... and for the sake of your own enjoyment too .... "DO NOT" take short cuts in regard to the recommended installation/re-installation steps for any of these files or confusion and problems may result .... to the extent of possibly denying one the privilege of enjoying the benefits these "NEW/UPDATED and "GREATLY IMPROVED" simulations and which can only then result in disappointment .... so why in hell risk that ?

Therefore do it all once, do it all right, and do it all well too .... aided by the installation instructions we provide within each of our files .... if not on the basis of what we also advise on our forum too


As always .... the following information is intended to aid/orient those either new to, or whom are still becoming accustomed with, the way in which everything's presented on the HJG website ....

This installment completes "PART 1" of HJG's December/Christmas 2020 releases .... which we hope everyone will enjoy.

Once again ...."PART 2" follows as an extension to these notices.

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: A 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 queries or problems .... but .... all technical queries must be posted on the appropriate "AIRCRAFT TYPE SUPPORT" forum pages and "not in response to this announcement" (notice concerning any broken file links may be posted in response to this website update announcement though).

PLEASE NOTE: There's no point, or sense, in seeking technical assistance for HJG files outside this forum. The only reason we state this is due to evidence of incorrect advice we've noted posted on other forums in the past .... and which is obviously of concern to us given the length this group "tries to go" in order to assist peoples enjoyment of what we offer. People can do what they wish .... of course .... BUT .... people do also need to remember the knowledge base which understands and has brought each of these simulations into existence, and is best able to provide support for these files, can only be found "HERE" .... at HJG.

Any files recently previewed but not included among these latest releases will feature within a future website update.

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 will always 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. "THANK YOU" .... to those whom have taken the time to donate something in the past .... and "THANKS" in advance to those whom propose doing so in the future

Any files recently previewed but not included among these latest releases will feature within a future website update ... .understand please that this's been a fairly large and comprehensive release and there's only "so much" we can accommodate accordingly.

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: A 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 queries or problems .... but .... all technical queries must be posted on the appropriate "AIRCRAFT TYPE SUPPORT" forum pages and "not in response to this announcement" (notice concerning any broken file links may be posted in response to this website update announcement though).

PLEASE NOTE: There's no point, or sense, in seeking technical assistance for HJG files outside this forum. The only reason we state this is due to evidence of incorrect advice we've noted posted on other forums in the past .... and which is obviously of concern to us given the length this group "tries to go" in order to assist peoples enjoyment of what we offer. People can do what they wish .... of course .... BUT .... people do also need to remember the knowledge base which understands and has brought each of these simulations into existence, and is best able to provide support for these files, can only be found "HERE" .... at HJG.


AND LAST BUT BY NO MEANS LEAST OF ALL ....


HJG takes this opportunity to thank our host Pete DALY/SIMVIATION.COM, and our community too, for their much appreciated support and encouragement throughout this difficult 2020 year.

We wish everyone "the best Christmas and transition into the 2021 FS year possible" (given what many of us have gone through this year) .... with hopes and best wishes for everyone's future comfort and security.

We extend our sincere sympathies to those who's lives, careers, families, and professions have been adversely impacted by the COVID crisis during this unfortunate 2020 year .... HJG's thoughts "REMAIN" with each one of you

Be aware that HJG is (officially) now in recess .... and will be until the end of January/Early February.

Technical support will continue to be provided throughout this period though, but, expect delayed responses from us during this festive and new year season .... after all we need, and do believe we've earned, a decent break too

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 will always 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. "THANK YOU" .... to those whom have taken the time to donate something in the past .... and "THANKS" in advance to those whom propose doing so in the future

YAAAY! Thank you to the entire HJG team who’ve spent countless hours this year. Thank you!!

[mzoe]

Gracias and thank you!

What a wonderful surprise. But -- now I will have some work to do changing all those files step by step.

Again, thank you for all this efforts completing such a great update!

"THANKS" .... to those whom have taken a moment to express their appreciation .... because it "IS" appreciated by us

I will have some work to do changing all those files

"YES" .... for those whom had our original (now old) version B367-80, B707, B720, and C-135 simulations installed it "does/will require "a bit of work/effort" in order to reinstall these reworked simulations. That's unavoidable .... but at the same time .... it's also for the "BETTER" too .... since there's "no way in hell" some of these simulations can now fly as poorly as some did previously (that was simply a result of the extent of our FDE knowledge and ability between 2002 2006 an the opportunity to improve these has never really been available until recently) .... provided they're now flown "strictly in accordance with our recommendations" of course. If the latter's not done .... then .... despite how much better these simulations "ARE" now performing there "IS" still potential for one to "get into trouble" .... if one becomes lapse or otherwise careless.

In addition to the new manuals for both our B707 and C-135 series simulations (again SECTION 1/7/8/9 of both of these should be considered essential reading/reference) .... a lot of information, outlining what we did per this "FDE salvage", and why, is also related within my fairly comprehensive reports/presentations within the following-linked thread ....


tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9822/b707-720-modifications


In particular my 2 postings of "NOVEMBER 3RD", and those of both "NOVEMBER 5TH" and "8TH", within the above-linked thread can, and perhaps should be, referred to accordingly .... and I may, yet, add a wee bit more too subject to time being available within which to do so.

So .... there's a lot of information there now .... given how much better/more thoroughly we now know, and understand, each of these B707/C135 simulations .... all of which is "intended" to try'n assist peoples enjoyment of them

Dear HGJ team, this was a lovely Xmas present -- thank you so much! I have started working through my existing 707 fleet. The FDE feels so much better, and I even have the impression that my existing 320C in South African Airlines livery looks less blurry. Is that possible!? Switching to the FDE of the 320C freighter version I may have encountered an issue. This is not surprising given the amount of detail work involved Since the freighter now has its own dedicated aircraft config, sim and model files, it therefore needs its own folder. Is this correct? The sim and model names need to be changed in the config file. The 320C freighter uses B707-320.air, which is the same name as the 707-320 pax model (not the B or C). I'm afraid this might cause a clash, or am I seeing this all wrong? Best wishes, Albert.

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

"THANKS" Albert .... and glad you're enjoying them

I'd prefer to have answered your technical query on our "BOEING SUPPORT" forum page, but, we'll let that ride on this occasion .... since it "IS" Christmas

In response to your query ....

The model content of both the -320C and -320C FREIGHTER base packs is "slightly different".

The AIR.FILE data for both is "precisely the same" (as should be the case) .... both AIR.FILE's being named "B707-320C".

The CFG data for both versions does "DIFFER" considerably though .... the standard -320C features a PAX specific W&B section .... whereas that for the -320C FREIGHTER features a cargo specific W&B section .... otherwise these CFG's are precisely the same for both -320C versions

Both -320C aircraft base packs should be installed "separately" .... as supplied.

Therefore .... install textures for PAX operators into the standard -320C base pack .... and put textures for cargo operators into the -320C FREIGHTER base pack.

To be able to do this "with ease" refer to our following-linked/forum based B707 TEXTURE INVENTORY ....

tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/7341/hjg-b707-texture-inventory

.... scroll down to the B707-320C section/s .... and one will note these textures are now listed as separate "B707-320C" and "B707-320C FREIGHTER" groups .... to aid these textures being added to their intended aircraft base packs.

To aid separating and easily identifying what's PAX and Cargo configured when displayed within the FS Aircraft Selection Menu .... as stated within our new and following-linked B707 manual ....

tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9861/b707-installation-handling-notes

.... and for the "FREIGHTERS" only .... I recommend editing the UI TYPE data line to read precisely as follows ....

UI TYPE= B707-320C (freighter)

see "SECTION 1.12/EASIER IDENTIFICATION - MSFS AIRCRAFT SELECTION MENU" of the above-linked manual.

This action will then force FS to display these subjects as B707-320C and B707=320C FREIGHTER.

I've just downloaded and checked the content of each of the 2 new B707-320C aircraft base packs and I confirm both contain the "correct data".

Don't confuse the FDE for the B707-320 and B707-320(F) as being appliable to the -320C though because it's "NOT".

The B707-320 represents the first/earliest member of the -300 family .... it's the JT4A turbo-jet powered version (not the later JT3D fan-jet powered version ) and features both lower a MGW and lower engine thrust than later -300 series versions since it's an "entirely different bird .... and it even performs slightly differently too.

Should you need further assistance with this query, then, can I ask you to post on the "BOEING SUPPORT" forum page

I even have the impression that my existing 320C in South African Airlines livery looks less blurry. Is that possible!?

"NO" .... simply because no modifications have been applied to any of the supporting textures .... and no modifications have been applied to any of the 3D models and that might impact the textures either.

This upgrade is strictly "an FDE salvage/enhancement only".

Blurry textures can be an issue (for some only) among our earliest released B707 textures. This can easily be resolved though by using the DXT BMP utility and converting all fuselage, elevator, tail, and wing related texture BMP's (primarily) from their original DXT3 format to an "EXTENDED 32.888 NO MIPS" texture format.
