Title: New airplanes: Douglas set
Post by: Zeno on December 08, 2010, 07:07:02 PM
I've been cooking some new airplanes for a couple of days. These airplanes are the most famous Douglas aircraft, which were missing in my airplane set. This Douglas mini-set set will be composed by the DC-5, DC-6, DC-8, DC-9, MD-11, MD-80 and MD-90 models, with several subseries.

Now I've finished the first one, which is the DC-8, in two variants: the DC-8-30 and the DC-8-60, low and high capacity versions of this airplane. As usual, you can find some history, real data and other stuff at  my blog (http://simutrans-creations.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-airplane-douglas-dc-8.html), as well as the link to the download site. I hope you like them :)

Great airplanes Zeno. Can't see any exterior differences between them, there's any or it's just the specs that are different.
Someone just talked about DC-80 today with me, that's a cool coincidence.

Well, the -60 has a stretched body. It should be 3 or 4 pixels longer, besides the different livery, of course.

Dear Zeno:
I have downloaded via your blog your latest nice additions, i.e. the Renfe items, the  2 Douglas planes and the tanker wagons in various colors. I have downloaded them to my Pak128 as I have always been able to do successfully before, but these extract with an Internet Explorer icon instead of the usual pak-icon, and as a consequence they do show up in my Pak128, but no matter what I try they are not visible in the vehicle depots when I load my latest savegame. I have even tried making new depots, thinking perhaps they would only show up in those, but still without results. What am I doing wrong, or should the 7z zips be extracted in a special way oir with a special program? Or perhaps this is no longer possible in 102.2.2 (which I am using). Don Quixote.

I will check the files later, but they should be 7z files, wich require 7zip software to ne opened, afaik.

These are 7z files like all the previous files that I have published. They should be opened using 7-zip free software, which you can get at www.7-zip.org. I'm sorry I don't know if they can be opened with any other software.




Edit:

I've just added the DC-9 in three different variants, each with a different livery. The smallest is the DC-9-10, for 90 psg; it follows the DC-9-30, for 115 psg; the biggest of the three is the DC-9-50, wich can carry up to 135 passengers. They are painted in the following liveries: Delta Airlines the -10, Aserca Airlines the -30 and Delta (North West) the -50.

You can read a few lines about them at my blog (http://simutrans-creations.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-airplane-douglas-dc-9.html) as usual, as well as see a couple of images and a link to the download page.
