DC-9 10

[Falcon]

I am in process of replacing the lost items in my recent reformat.
The DC-9 10 texture the blue goose Republic air lines show the aircraft config file as a DC-9 30 in lieu of the DC-9 14 the others show?

Curious.

If there is an error there it'll be "a typo" Denny

Depending upon which particular REPUBLIC/HERMAN texture is involved the "typo" could well have been there since as early 2011.

Need to know specifically "which particular texture" .... livery date and aircraft registration.

ok no big deal I figured it out I'll look it up and send it to you.

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

YEAH .... do that Denny (please .... both aircraft registration and livery date) because it saves me time .... and which is what I don't have a lot of at the moment.

What you report also ultimately aids the next person through my then being able to just "home in on the particular subject concerned" .... and fix it accordingly if necessary.

Mark, fist of all t he texture name is different on the add to than the actual texture name on the texture file.

I don't know how else to explain this. I got this under the DC-9-10 download page

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

Think I know precisely what's happened here

This's an error that's been there since 2011 .... undetected all this time

It may be a little more complex to fix immediately, but, is "perfectly fixable" .... by us

The "N8914E REPUBLIC 1982" livery currently on our DC-9-10 downloads page should, so far as I can historically determine, be for a DC-9-31 .... by virtue of the fact N8914E was indeed a -31

The currently downloadable N8914E REPUBLIC 1982 "livery version" would be correct/appropriate for DC-9-10(-14) "N8915E" though.

I've not yet checked (for myself) the content of the currently downloadable N8914E REPUBLIC 1982 (just no free time at the moment) .... to determine whether or not its textures are for a DC-9-10 or -30 model fit (there are significant differences between both), but, on the basis of what's evident on our DC-9-10 downloads page, and even without yet physically checking the content of this particular file, I suspect the file's wrong anyway.

We "will" fix this .... BUT .... I very much doubt we'll be able to do so before the New year .... and when we do "do so" it's likely going to require a texture/registration edit, repackage of the file, and re-imaging also in order to completely resolve this issues.

Again .... this "HAS TO" be done .... and we "WILL" do it .... but .... we can't do so at the moment

Actually this N8914E 1982 registration belongs to a DC-9-14 so here's a corrected version until an official update is done.

Actually "JETBLUE3000" is quite right.

Not sure how I stuffed that up but my searches this morning turned up a DC-9-31 for the N8914E registration .... unless I hit a wrong numerical key .... or .... was simply dog tired .... or .... a combination of both

Correct/full details for that particular aircraft subject are (confirmed) as follows ....


DC-9-14 N8914E
C/N # 45831
L/N # 76

- N8914E (fleet # 914) Eastern Air Lines 29.12.66
- N8914E (fleet # 155) Republic Airlines 21.12.79
- N8914E (fleet # 9155 )Northwest Airlines 01.10.86
- Withdrawn from serv1ce 02.12.04
- Stored at Marana, Arizona, USA.
- Scrapped.


CCNCLUSION .... livery/texture can remain "AS-IS" .... only its supporting FLTSIM.XX data needs to be changed/edited .

The fix is a lot easier .... but still .... unlikely to be able do anything about this until the new year.

Denny .... and anyone else contemplating this particular texture .... just edit this subjects supporting FLTSIM.XX data in accordance with "JETBLUE3000's" above specimen.

That'll do the trick in the meantime and until I can make a formal correction.

Thanks guys. I fixed it when I saw it on my download. I'm partial to the "Blue Goose" texture that was originally North Central Airlines until they merged with Ozark.
