Altough I am a registered flythemadog forum user I can't post there and I don't know why, and am aware that this question should be posted on their forum....

 

Anyway does someone know if a project for new "revisited" vc and external model is still active, in line with graphic "state of the art"?

 

I love this aircraft and it a shame that there isn't nowadays an updated version for a VC and external model. I think that most of the code for the systems is already compatible, perhaps with a few tips; so it would be enough to revisit the vc and maybe the external model. So....

 

Would you like an updated verison of this aircraft?

I've tried to get on their forums as well.  The only time I actually heard from someone is when I expressed interest in buying the game.

 

Unfortunately the stark reality is this:  I currently fly the MD 82/83.  The company has indicated they will be gone by 2017.  Leonardo did a good job with the model.  I fire it up whenever I have training in the near future. 

 

I don't think a developer is going to improve anything where the base product is going to be retired in the next few years.

Its a shame really great systems hopefully something happens and get its well deserved update in the future.

I agree. During my last training event I was asked, "If you loose all electrical power, how will you.........?" I answered, "By moving the handle." This is the only plane I know where there is a cable and pulley system to operate everything.
