IDT DC-9

[Airfighter 150]

Dear friends,

 

Icarus Development Team is introducing our aircraft under development: Legendary IDT DC-9!

 

"The DC-9 is one of the most legendary airliners ever built. It was designed for frequent and short flights, for military and civil operations  Accommodating from 90 to 135 passengers, was the workhorse for many airlines worldwide".

 

 

Some of the features of the aircraft:

- Realistic flight model, accurate flight behaviour and systems according the original technical manuals

- Plug-in driven systems

- HD resolution realistic textures

- Full operational 3D cockpit

- Hundreds of animations 

- Many liveries

 

The first release will be about the DC-9-30 variant, since it's the most widely used. There will be feature upgrades that will include more variations (like the -40, used mostly by SAS), plus the military version (known as C-9).

 

 

Here are some first views of the aircraft:

This is one aircraft I'm excited about. I love the dc-9, so I'm looking forward to it.

 

Best wishes,

Beautiful models! I've always had a soft spot for the DC-9, because it was the first aircraft I ever flew on.

 

If I may, how detailed will the systems be?

[Airfighter 150]

Thanks Jon!

 

System-wise the aircraft will very detailed and simulated. Everything is going to be build as in aircraft's manual. We are targeting to an aircraft that could be flown with the use of real manuals/checklists. 

 

More things will be shown here as this project progress.

Fantastic project ! I'm definitely a fan of these old liners ! Even more if it's systems are well simulated. Keep up the great work !

Thanks Pascal!

 

Yes systems are going to be simulated as accurate as possible. For sure we are going to use plugin to expand X-Plane capabilities. The systems will be build with the logic of the original aircraft down to circuit breaker level. But still a very long road lays ahead. There are many more to come!
