interesting... is this how its done in the real plane too? you move the throttle too far, and you get shut down on? lol

>interesting... is this how its done in the real plane too?>you move the throttle too far, and you get shut down on? lolBasically... yes.You just can't floor the throttles overheating the engines. If you do this, a security shut down kicks in, just like the real one.

>If you like Level-D and PMDG type of system modelling, you>will like this plane.On a side note, I can't wait until Airliner XP's Airbus is out so this phrase that is CONSTANTLY used is replaced with 'Well, it's not quite as good as Airliner XP but it's on par w/ PMDG and Level-D'.That is all.Thank you. :)

Of course for those who can't fly without a VC, it's not complete yet. And as much as I'm looking forward to what AirlinerXP will offer, right now it's just vapourware, eventhough I hope they can deliver quality in the end. But I'll wait and see, hype is one of those things I ceased to believe in a long time ago.On another note, what I really miss in the Maddog2006 is a FS2crew add-on. I hope Bryan is listening. :)

what kind of file do I have to save on FS BUILD to make my nav files compatible?

>interesting... is this how its done in the real plane too?>you move the throttle too far, and you get shut down on? lolYep love the system stuff on par with Level-d :-)First would skip this one because of the missing VC normally I only fly from the VC (that is a fully working one lol)Glad I was convinced to buy this one a great plane and great systems:Still missing the VC but that one will follow soon I hope :-)Cheers,Andr

>I couldn't resist and I bought it...NOOOO! I guess I'm too late, but there is a great MD80 series out there WITH a VC. It's the Ultimate Airliners Super80, available at Flight1. Here is the link to what it offers and some screenshots:http://s80.flight1.net/product.htmI considered the Maddog too, but the price was too stinkin' high (not that it isn't worth it) and it didn't have a VC. The Super80 is a lot cheaper and it does have a VC. Also, something I find very nifty, it comes with a tutorial checklist that guides you through the systems as you are looking at the panel in the sim. Very neat! Anyways, maybe its not to late for a refund? ... ;)

You can

>But both packages have their disadvantages too. Maddog 2006 is>a frame rate killer on my system (I

The only refund I have ever applied for was for the Super 80. That was at the start of the year and since then I have never looked back.I love the Maddog 2006 and would not look anywhere else for a short hop classic jet. The Maddog complements the system complexity of my other favourite aircraft the RFPB 747-200.As for the VC. I used to fly exclusively in the VC with all my other aircrafts (LDS, PMDG). However I am content with the 2D panels the Maddog offers and i do not believe this should be a reson to give it a miss.When the team does deliver the VC, you can rest assured it will be excellent with very high functionality just like the rest of the plane. Cheers

I hope it will be! its a very nice plane... I've been flying it alot, its just the no VC is really killin' me heh...

Try the brown cockpit patch, it solved the CTDs for me.
