	I have a great suggestion for a future Captain Sim product: The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar! The workhorse for many airlines, such as Delta, operating globally and domestically. It was used by the big names like Delta, TWA, and British Airways. Your competitor that startswith a P and ends with a G with an MD in the middle has their MD-11, so why not have your own trijet Captain Sim/ it fits the bill of Captain Sim's classic jetliners.

	That would be pretty cool. I'd like to see CS do some jetliners from companies besides Boeing (I love the current ones, I just want variety ).

	Like the DC-8, Convair 880. The Convair 880 was one of the fastest jets of all time, going faster than even today's most modern airliners. I think its pretty good looking too. It looks fast. Was America's third (and coolest) jetliner. Coollest for its day, doesn't equal the 747.

	Interesting engines. What's the purpose behind the corrugation?

	That makes sense (the sound suppressor). The Boeing 747-8 has a wavy nacelle, and I think that's for sound.

	But what airline could you be with a DC-8? There's a charter airline near me that uses them, But still?

	Let's see since us Captain Sim customers like recreating the good old days... You can have the two biggest users of the DC-8 that are teh two biggest airlines now, United and Delta Air Lines, you can have Iberia, UPS, KLM, Alitalia, Lufthansa, Canadian Pacific....

	I think L1011 would be easier than the DC 8 because the DC 8 had so many wing modifications. I magine how many expansion packs Captain Sim would have to release! tHE l1011 would be easier.

	I don't know... Besides the DC-8 could be easily streched and later teh same fuselage used for a possible DC-9. However I'd like an L-1011 too.

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC-8 if you read the variants section, it shows how many wing and engine changes there were. Too hard. Yes it could be stretched for DC-9 use but the only problem is that the MD-80 has already had loads of publishers make their own rendition, the DC-9 by Skysim, 717 by Perfect Flight(no offense, but room for big improvement) and MD-95. There isn't much choice as the Boeing narrowbodies.

	Well the original DC-9 would be a shrink of the DC-8. Plus, you don't have to make ALL DC-8 variants...
