[fltsim.0] title=Douglas DC8-61 Val-U-Prop sim=Valu8 model= panel= sound= texture= checklists= description=This Douglas "Stretch" 8 was found parked in an aircraft graveyard in Arizona, where it had been mothballed in 1983. Val-U-Prop executives thought it the pick of the bunch - actually it was the only one - and bought it for a song. After sandblasting bird manure from the interior and removing numerous snakes, the VP crew installed seats, sealed cracks in the fuselage and spray-painted the exterior. It received its airworthiness certificate from the FAA after the usual bribe, and now serves Val-U-Prop on its long routes - like Paoli, Indiana to Fort Wayne. atc_flight_number=354 ui_manufacturer=Douglas ui_type=DC-8 ui_variation=Val-U-Prop atc_heavy=0 atc_id=N58008F [forcefeedback] gear_bump_nose_magnitude=6000 gear_bump_nose_direction=18000 gear_bump_nose_duration=250000 gear_bump_left_magnitude=6000 gear_bump_left_direction=35500 gear_bump_left_duration=250000 gear_bump_right_magnitude=6000 gear_bump_right_direction=00500 gear_bump_right_duration=250000 ground_bumps_magnitude1=3250 ground_bumps_angle1=8900 ground_bumps_intercept1=5.0 ground_bumps_slope1=0.48 ground_bumps_magnitude2=750 ground_bumps_angle2=9100 ground_bumps_intercept2=0.075 ground_bumps_slope2=1.0 crash_magnitude1=10000 crash_direction1=01000 crash_magnitude2=10000 crash_direction2=9000 crash_period2=75000 crash_duration2=2500000 [fltsim.1] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [fltsim.2] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [fltsim.3] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [fltsim.4] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [fltsim.5] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [fltsim.6] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [fltsim.7] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [fltsim.8] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [fltsim.9] title= sim= panel= sound= texture= model= [General] performance=Length: 187ft 5in\nWing span: 148ft 5 in\nWeight: MTOW:350,000 lb\nPower: (4) 19,000lb P&WJT3D-7 Turbofans\nDesigners: Kim Simmelink \/ Dee Waldron\ntonymadge@yahoo.com\nConversion to DC8 -
