  • WingFlex!
  • Air Transport International ATI livery
  • Working doors and cargo door
  • Smooth Airbrakes

Notes

Max operational throttle is 75%, use 100% for short takeoffs or emergencies. Takeoff speed is around 330km/h, max tested speed is around 900km/h, and stall speed around 166km/h with trim. It tends to roll on the left a little bit but it shouldn't bother that much.

Quite thankful I went ahead with the Freighter version, that meant there would be no window duties, not only exhausting, but can consume a lot of parts that could have been used on other things, and now with no windows, I could not only do an interior, but also detailed cockpit and livery.

There are substantial changes from the DC-8-32 Project, primarily the revised Cockpit and nose Assembly using lesser and more detailed parts, a plane Interior for the cargo bay, working doors from the 737-200C project, and detailed instrumentation from all of the previous projects I built.

This plane is long overdue, its construction was started right after the DC-8-32 is published, and ended a week later, but I am glad I overdelayed the DC-8-71F project because it wouldn't have benefitted from revised funky trees, and improved construction methods, in fact, I am considering re-publishing the DC-8-32 with a revised nose but with rules so unclear, and every step risking a perma-ban for most mundane of reasons, its safest to leave it alone.

This plane was supposed to take the next publish bracket after the 747-8i and 787-9, a weekend bracket (Fri/Sat|Ven/Sam) however due to miscommunication that led to internet problems, the 747-8i and 787-9 had to take the next publish bracket (26th-27th June) and have the DC-8-71F ATI moved to a weekday bracket (Mon/Wed/Thu|Lun/Mar/Jeu) to make way for the 747 and 787.

I really should get a move on on my clientwork queue list. Its getting very crowded.

    Now this, this, is astonishing! It’s amazing quality, as so are your other aircraft! It’s what I’ve dreamt for a while, a DC-8F, a classic. I love the ATI livery!
    Seeing how good you are at liveries, is there any chance you can also handle these two requests?
    1. A DHL livery for this wonderful thing!
    2. Any chance you could build a BAe ATP-F CARGO in the West Atlantic livery, or any aircraft in the west Atlantic fleet.

    19?! Naw. It’s so real. Idk, maybe I’m overestimating how much upvotes. But I don’t know about 19... considering how hard you work on these.@jelybaca

    @Panizon Well I didn't expect a lot of people to take note of this particular DC-8 since not a lot of people know the DC-8-71F exists let alone the Airliner Air Transport International, accounting for all factors, I have calculated 19 upvotes would be the peak. And yet every dang time, my calculations are wrong.

    I would expect it to have 90-100 upvotes. Just because of how dang realistic it is. Or is that just me? @jelybaca

    No no no no I am with you, the first DC-8 I built was mediocre according to my standards, and I thought to myself: "This could be wayyy better," Thank you for noticing though. @SouthTunnel2

    Also, not gonna lie, this looks like a HUGE improvement from your previous dc8. Don’t get me wrong, the old one still looks good!

    @HYpe1554 your simpleplanes is probably out of date, as the gears I use utilise a new FT function only available on the latest update.

    @jelybaca Please try input: Brake*(1-LandingGear) for the spoilers, and in fact the nose needs only two panels at the “cheek” area. BTW, you still built the best DC-8 I see in here.

    @N661US Ah I see, I do apologise for lashing at you. But I do want to see your rendering of the DC-8-70, with how you know these things with the airbrakes, and sections, I bet it'd better than this.

    @jelybaca I think I need to clarify I'm totally not nitpicking, and I fully recognize your technique and effort through your previous builds. This is only a suggestion and answering with a "do it yourself" attitude may seem somewhat inappropriate.
