Thx @abrams_tank.

Do you know if the WR is a consequence of the SDK not being available yet, something that will be "fixed" and implemented in the future as ASOBO adds the necessary tools ?

Yes, the Maddog and many other high fidelity airliners won't have weather radar because the bitmap exposure for the weather radar is not available at the WASM level for the API.  To be accurate, from my understanding, the bitmap exposure for the weather radar is available for Javascript/HTML in the SDK. That's why there is a weather radar for various planes already in MSFS, but they are using the Javascript/HTML API to access the bitmaps for the weather radar.  But all these high fidelity airline developers such as PMDG, Leonardo, Fenix, etc, are using C++ and WASM.

My understanding is that the bitmaps for the weather radar API for WASM is coming in either SU 10 or SU 11.  I believe Fenix and PMDG said they plan to implement a weather radar once it becomes available in the SDK.  You need to check with Leonardo what their plans are when it's available.  I don't recall reading anything from Leonardo about what they plan when the bitmaps for weather radar API for WASM is implemented in the SDK, so best is to check with Leonardo directly.

Yes Leonardo said they will add it as soon as the SDK is ready for it. I don‘t find the post now, but they did say it a couple of months ago.

If any else is having issues getting the kgs to lbs in the aircraft and EFB or changing in aircraft settings via the load manager, here is how to get it to work.

Open the load manager, goto "Airline tab" (aircraft icon), make sure you select the correct aircraft tail number you are using.

Now in MSFS, choose that  same livery you are going to use. Go to "customization" tab, either type the same tail number or leave it blank. Load your aircraft into flight sim.

Now you can goto the load manager and change your any of the setting that you want and hit the sync button on top right. It changed everything for me except avatar.  The only thing I still can't do is change the avatar. For me there was some tail number that carried over from a C172 I had flown.

Great tutorial, thank you. Also: This will be the same for the PMDG 737. No one should use the tail number or the aircraft configuration wont work

For me details like those of sounds and textures, exterior views, and the like, occupy less than 10 % of my evaluation of a sim product. I could easily go with a 2D cockpit - actually would preffer to have that option in MFS aircraft - and rather look for detailled systems implementation, believable flight dynamics and good support from the developer.

If that is the case, you won't be disappointed. Systems and flight model are super good and really almost everything is simulated :). 

Just for some of us, the textures and sounds are the biggest criticism, definitely not MSFS standards, pure port from P3D with bit of textures high-scaling. But system wise, is top notch indeed.   

@jcomm I think you should check the photos, videos, and streams to see the textures for yourself.  IMO, I think the textures are about 7.5/10 to 8/10 for the Maddog, but everyone has their own subjective opinion about textures.  For me, a 5/10 rating for cockpit textures would be something like the Bredok 737 in MSFS: https://youtu.be/Giq5UzRe3Ns?t=18.  The Maddog textures are much better than the Bredok 737 textures, so that's why I give the Maddog a 7.5/10 to 8/10.  But still, the Maddog textures are not as good as the Fenix.

Anyways, the quality of textures is very subjective.  It differs from person to person.

Someone else has the issue that ingame ATC doesn't work with the Maddog?
(and yes, I know ingame ATC sucks 😉 )

Yes, it‘s a bug and I‘m sure it will be fixed in the first update (maybe this weekend already?)

I'm buying it !!!!

🙂

Thank you guys for your comments !!!  It's "Back to Leonardo times" for me now 🙂

Any word from the Developer that the Sounds, & possibly the perceived, [in some quarters], texture issues, will be addressed?

(Interesting that on .to, the most downloaded MD-82 livery has 936 occurrences & the BAE 146, 920]😀

It was a rush job to get it to market with no time for sound or texture work to fully bring it up to MSFS standard.  A USD50 plane at most.  I would buy it for that price but the most expensive plane in the sim it deserves great textures and sound. Systems 10/10, Textures 5/10, Sound 5/10, Price 5/10.

 

 

Where is the plane installed? I can't find it in my Community folder or any link to the files?

Mine actually is in the community folder. Folder is called "lsh-maddogx-aircraft"

Not yet, but I'm sure they will announce their plans very soon, after the dust of the "first wave" settles.
