Im not bashing "people" as you said, I dont recall having mentioned any human being. I was bashing the DC8

And all we do is talking wishes, out of pure likeness and love affair, not tech specs. A plane wins our heart when it brings the most remarking memories, which normally come from childhood, thus the reference.

I was as a kid very negative towards the DC8. Because it had nothing I could see it better or at par with the 707, they were both for the same routes and range. And it also came late, after the 707, ...

So look, there is an Iphone from Apple doing this and this features...
and another brand releases a model that is smaller, does less, with less quality and lower performance...what should I think?

And yes, it had a tiny fuselage and tiny original engines...which were later "corrected" with different versions (manufacturers love to put different codes and version number), but...its the same plane.

However, being a classic jet fan as I am, compared to today models I love them all and would be one of the first to buy a good DC8 if available. :)

Edit> This is a hobby, so our preferences are like soccer team preferences, we like it because we like it, thats all, and defend colors or models, but with no scientific criteria. We are not working for any company, we are not buying a DC8 for real...its just fun. I love the tail antena of the 707, and dont like the two cooling entrance nozzles the DC8 has in the nose, and so forth...


I would love to see a DC8, I have been looking for years an addon, its probably the classic that has been completely forgotten in the sim. Dont take me wrong, today I love it, but I wanted to share my mean child feelings that I carried for many years.

Perhaps the 747 is more apropriate because of its fame and success, while the DC8 is too close to the 707, but if one is made, I'll go for it, as Im wainting for the Lockheed Tristar also.
