Maddog update February 14

I went ahead and paid the $7.50 CDN so I could access the FTSim sounds.  The Maddog sounds are fantastic and really improve the aircraft.  I downloaded sound packs for a number of other aircraft so I’m at around $1 per sound pack if I only stay signed up for the one month.  Not sure what I’ll do there, depends on frequency of updates I guess.

I’m not sure how to figure out which aircraft sound packs are available at the less expensive FTSim tier and whether that one includes the Maddog or not.

Overall I agree we shouldn’t need sound packs for such an expensive aircraft but given the choice between stubbornly using the default sounds or paying a small amount of money for the benefit of a great sound experience I’ll choose the latter.

Its been a while since I flew the Maddog but I couldn’t get the GPU to connect…pressing the GPU button on the EFB didn’t do anything. 

I was generally rusty and need a repeat flight tonight to get back in the saddle!

If you have GSX (which you apparently do), you have to call the GPU via GSX. The Maddog is now fully GSX integrated, meaning you refuel, board etc. Via the GSX menu (and the Maddog accordingly „fills up“)

Are spoilers working okay for everyone?  I set a spoilers axis and the MD spoilers arm goes kid of crazy when I move the axis control, but always jumps back to zero. I can't drag the spoilers arm with a mouse either. Or arm them.

Okay... thanks for checking. It's obviously me, but I can fathom why.  I've opened at topic at Leaonardo.

With its ugly textures, its ugly sound, way too complicated FPL import and calculations, this is unfortunately not an addon for 2022/23.

Too sad, the developers haven't achieved the jump over to this new simulator.

And currently I do not get more then 22 FPS (needless to say I have 40 FPS with Fenix, PMDG etc)

 

So, will land her and retire her until the next update probably, but I have no hopes any more 😒

 

Thanks to @Fiorentoni I gave her a second chance.
This time everything worked as it should: SimBrief import went easily with one click (was not possible before) in all aspects, FPS are also better now ... not good looking at the low poly VC, but acceptable.

EFB is not like from Fenix, looks also outdated, but it works.

 

So, I stand corrected, definitv flyable and I tend to say also enjoyable now 😉

Still not worth 85€, but I have paid them already long ago 😉

Yeah I think we can agree on all of that 😉 There's a free texture mod on flightsim.to that drastically improves the texture resolution in the cockpit with no big impact on FPS. This brings the cockpit much closer to MSFS  high-fidelity standards: https://de.flightsim.to/file/32666/fly-the-maddog-x-cockpit-overhaul-hires

Agree. I could make the jump for a price between 50-60€ but not a 85€.

I was waiting for a sale during Black Friday or Xmas at the end of 2022 but it never came.

Disregard, found my answer. 

@Wise87 May I ask what the answer was? Does that sound pack work with the latest update?
