Greetings IFC! I present you with another feature request! This time, for a beautiful aircraft and a beautiful livery! This being the Hawaiian Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10.
We wouldn’t have your precious A320neo or 737 MAX without planes like the DC-10 or 707. Think about it, technology advances with time. In the 70’s and 80’s the DC-10 was the newest and most modern plane in the skies, and made so many advancements that we take for granted on aircraft these days.
Just because it’s oh so unrealistic to have a plane that’s not from this decade (the DC-10 still flies by the way), doesn’t mean a plane or livery shouldn’t be added to IF. Heck, even though Hawaiian retired it’s DC-10’s, it would be more realistic to have that than to have a livery that belongs to an aircraft or airline that’s never flown (I can name several cases of this). So if you wanna lecture me about how new planes are good and old planes should be forgotten and thrown in a scrap pile, be my guest. Just keep your hate off this thread and put it somewhere else, because some of us actually like classic aircraft.
@Rolls said it well. A flight sim with only new aircraft is no fun. We need some variety when it comes to aircraft, and I don’t care how “unrealistic” it is.
