Hello and Merry Christmas. I got the flythemaddogx MD-82 for Christmas and I have just one question. Is it supposed to go that slow? I saw an MD-80 on flightaware from Des Moines to Dallas flying at 467 miles per hour at 31,000 feet. I am at 30,000 feet headed from Columbia, SC to Dallas and my plane is only going 347 miles per hour. Is there any way to make it go a realistic MD80 speed? Maybe something with the pitot heat?

347 is the fastest I can go without overspeeding. The flaps are fully up as well. I have my speed set to 300 on the knob

Now as I type this, the plane is slowly decreasing in speed and pitching upwards. Am I doing something wrong there?

And now the engines just shut themselves down for no reason

And now I just lost control and slammed into the ground

So I start FSX back up and the plane just starts going crazy. Is it supposed to load cold and dark or default like PMDG?

Let’s start with the basics.  Look in the mirror and see if u are wearing a tinfoil hat.  Report back

What is that supposed to mean?

 

The best recommendation I can give is to check out a good tutorial and start from the basics. It's hard to resist the temptation and just dive right it but I will say the Maddog is a bit daunting and requires a little study. I would also check out the flythemaddogx support forums as well as Chuck's Guides he has an awesome guide that includes a tutorial I believe.

I watched the tutorial videos from LeonardoSH. I did everything right twice. On approach into Dallas, the engines shut down and the displays went dark.

I will check out Chucks Guides though. Thanks

Sorry couldn’t resist.  There are also some very good tutorials on YouTube.

Verify that u don’t have any failures set to trigger

Do you mean in the load manager? I turned off all failures just now

Did you check fuel temps?
