Pacific East Air

Ahoy there guys!

Now that I finally had time to get around to Brian's 1983 project, I am very much enjoying the AI DC-8s. Thank you for the great aircraft!

I would like to make a request for an airline I find very interesting; Pacific East Air. Mostly did SFO\LAX to Hawaii scheduled flights as 1-stop services from the East Coast, but also did plenty of charters as well. The DC-8-62, which wore a special livery, is completed but the DC-8-61 and DC-8-63CF are still incomplete. It would be very cool to see these 2!

Thank you very much,

I kind of doubt we'll be seeing any further expansion of our current "AI DC-8 flight line".

The AI DC-8's we presently were all released based on the "UI" liveries we'd accumulated for these by around 2016.

The "UI PEA DC-8-61CF and -63CF subjects" we currently offer are much more recent additions to our UI DC-8 flight line .... having been released just 11 months ago.

My understanding is that our "UI DC-8's" can also, or should be able to be, used successfully as "AI traffic" too (similar may apply to our B707's as well).

Whilst this might have promoted problems in regard to FPS fluidity in the past/some 20 years ago .... PC's today are "far more powerful" and should be able to cope with any such imposition.

As I said .... I very much doubt there'll be any further expansion of our "AI DC-8 flight line".

A similar B707 AI flight line that was supposedly being developed seems not to have ever eventuated .... and I also doubt we'll be seeing any other "AI related developments" here anyway.

Try using our "UI PEA DC-8-61CF and -63CF subjects" as "AI traffic" as suggested .... and see how you get along.

Best I can recommend under prevailing circumstances.

Further to my earlier/above commentary and suggestion that our UI DC-8's may be used as AI traffic.

The following audio-visual (featuring our UTA, LAP, and CP AIR DC-8-63's .... made by Benoit during development of his sound packs for the HJG DC-8's) was produced compiled "before" we have had any AI DC-8s to offer ....

.... so .... it tends to confirm what I've suggested is indeed practical.

Again the following audio visual (also made by Benoit but more recently and for the same reason .... featuring SURINAM and SCANAIR Dc-8-63's working out together at various point throughout its duration) tends to further confirm this and as does the each following videos in regard to our other DC-8's as well and which have never been AI customized ....

AND .... here's yet another one of Benoit's audio-visuals which also (again at various point throughout its duration) tends to confirm the same suggestion in regard to the DC-10's we offer as well and none of which have been AI customized either ....
