hello guys,

i still don't know wether i want to buy this plane or not, i was wondering one thing tho, are the autopilots controls working with default FS bindings?
for exemple altitute inc/dec, speed inc/dec com1 whole/fract etc .... it's working perfectly on the 737, a310 and bae 146 so i guess it should also work.

thank you

No the default key bindings don’t necessarily all work. There is the maddog app which allows you to assign some commands to keyboard/controller shortcuts outside of msfs.

oh that's nice, i'm using my HOTAS hat switches for basic stuff like SPD HDG ALT and COM1, and i don't really want to buy yet another 3rd party app just for 4 bindings.

that's good to know, thank you

IIRC this was only for P3D and doesn't work in MSFS. Has that changed? I use AAO to bind AP knobs to my hardware.

That’s true, I’m not sure I use spad.next.

I read in a comment on Facebook than one can apparently use the old but excellent TSS sound set for the FSX/P3D version of the Maddog also with the one for MSFS. Is that true? Has annyone tested that?

Sort of, not directly though... You can paste the TSS soundset to the MD80's sound folder & update layout.json, but you will also need to edit both Leonardo's sound.xml and/or the sound.cfg to remove conflicting sound effects.  I have been using a legacy/FSX sound pack of my own creation, derived from the TSS pack and some FSX freeware packs from Avsim.  FTSim's sound pack on Patreon is also an option.  It's decent but not quite to my taste.  FTSim develops with WWise so there are many benefits, i.e.cabin sounds and sound scaling with the cockpit window open.

You can delete it from the exe.xml in the MSFS folder and start it manually (mdclient.exe) when you need it.

nice! thank you very much

What does the MD Client do exactly?

[Muds 31]

it's a little client runing along the sim to bypass fs limitations, like importing simbriefs profiles directly, acars and more....

What Muds said. It's the reason why you can now directly download Simbrief flightplans and receive ACARS messages (ATIS, Weather, CPDLC etc.) within the FMS and/or EFB. It's basically the same the Fenix does.
