Looks horrible, will not buy 😉

Geezus...

HURRY UP Leonardo!

Sorry for my ignorance on this, but I have only just taken proper notice of this project.

Can someone tell me what models might be involved?  Is it just the basic MD-80, or all of the sub variants well?

 

@Steve Dra is it possible to show VC screenshots? Are you limited in what you can show?

Good news then !

Please, let us see it fly 😀

Fly the Maddog X MSFS version 1.0 will include:

- MD82 with -217A engines, PAX Cabin 162Y and Honeywell FMS for NAV/VNAV/ACARS;
- Flight model and engines performances tested and matched against real aircraft performance tables;
- All systems/avionics/tests etc, fully implemented as in the P3D version, including failures/INOPs feature, fully dimmable integral and flood lightning, working TCAS and EGPWS terrain mode;
- New FMS Services page for controlling DOORS/STAIR, External power, fuel loading, etc.;
- Fully integrated with MSFS ecosystem (jetway, catering, baggage loader, etc...);
- Integration with PFPX/SimBrief via Load Manager and retrieval of OFP data via the ACARS system;
- Livery manager, and aircraft settings configurable for different aircrafts;
- Livery-based cockpit color (pink, blue or grey) and main panel variations (including placards and speed bugs);
- Can be installed in the same machine with Fly the Maddog X for P3D;

Configurable options from Load Manager: 

- Panel state when starting simulation (Cold & Dark, Ready at Gate, Ready for Takeoff...);
- Weight & Balance and route planner;
- Load Manager units (Kg/mbar or Lbs/InHg);

Aircraft options:

- Cockpit units (Kg/mbar or Lbs/InHg);
- PFD flight director style (cross bar or single cue), rising runway, ND wind arrow, groundspeed and aircraft map symbol, HDG UP or TRK UP option;
- PFD wired to opposite NAV;
- Armed altitude as FL and AutoArm altitude option;
- Gear waring inhibit above 1500ft AGL;
- Always play aural when autopilot disconnects;
- Auto brake system;
- Three VOR instrument versions: VOR/ADF/DME, VOR/ADF and VOR only;
- Two altimeter versions: DUAL/SINGLE knob;
- Optional TAS/SAT indicator;
- Flat or Cone tail;

Simulator options:

- Enable failures;
- Autopilot disconnect when flight controls moved;
- Automatic update of aircraft weight and cg;
- Automatic fuel loading;
- Enable PM calls;
- Sync CM1/CM2;
- FSUIPC compatibility mode;
- Maximum luminosity of all cockpit lights and instruments (flood, integral, LED, LCD and CRT);
- Failures probability, separated for LIGHT, MEDIUM and DANGEROUS;
- INOP systems according to MEL;

NOTE: All settings (including panel states) can be changed while the sim is running and they are applied immediately without need to restart the flight.

NOTE: on initial release the wx radar will be not functional due to lack of wx interface in current MSFS SDK. Wx radar functionality will be implemented free of charge as soon as the SDK will expose the necessary interface.

Can’t wait for this! And Asobo…. please get onto it with this whole weather api / interface stuff, it’s actually one of the most important features in a flight sim.. wasn’t an issue with a lot GAs coming out but now the big boys are coming in…. And we need that weather radar!

Not specifically limited to what I can show (except things we are still testing), and I can't answer any questions like "Is the xyz fully functional and shows the abc options when x is pressed?"  

I don't have time for a lot of screenshots as multiple projects are keeping me very busy, so please don't ask for too many as it does take time to shoot them and process them for publishing.  Here are a few of the cockpit and some externals I took at the same time (in the same session). 

And PLEASE, if you quote my posts....REMOVE THE PICS before you post or else everyone will have to scroll thru the pics over and over!!

She's gorgeous Steve! She looks better than ever before. Really cannot wait to haul some fictional freight around Alaska for Everts Air in the Maddog...

That doesn’t have to be a bad thing!👍

take my money. the rotate MD80 was my favorite in xp11 and now this will be for sure!! cant wait

Hello

I'am totally new to flight simulation. I wanted to know if the Maddog has autothrottle like Airbus or Boeing or it looks like the CRJ ?

it does. I would say its similar to a 737-300 tech wise but a bit more complicated. 

This is a brilliant guide to the P3D Mad Dog https://www.mudspike.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/P3D-Leonardo-MD-82-Guide.pdf

Should be largely applicable to the MSFS variant 🙂
