FSX-MS maddog md-80

[Saucey12 38]

this really isnt a freeware but i couldn't find the payware forum if it exist.  Does anyone here have the Maddog md-80 purchase?  I had it years ago with fs9 and it worked pretty well.  Very detailed and realistic.  Has anyone here downloaded and run it on fsxse on Win10?  I am curious before I purchase this thing and try to run it.  Because this addon is over ten years old and i dont know how many fixes it may require to run it.

Thought someone would respond by now but it is still available for FS9 and FSX.  FS Crew supports it too.

I'll move this to the FSX Forum and perhaps you will get a response from actual users.

Best regards,

Jim

Hej Saucey

I bought it last week. Let me draw up a list of things that come to my mind:

Pro:

• VC quality is fairly good if you install the improved textures.
• the plane is fairly complex, you can manage fuel system settings, it has AP and A/T, so it gives you quite many things to do in-flight
• it is FPS friendly

Con:

• flies on rails
• some FMC functions are missing, i cannot create user waypoints for instance
• cockpit lighting is poor. you inly have a master switch which turns on the thunderstorm lights, instrument dials or panels cannot be adjusted/lit separately

I hope this helps
