Not sure how long this airline will fly the Maddog, but for the moment it is the only chance for European flights. Regards Urmel It doesn't matter to me if the plane I want to fly is still in service or not. I love flying older aircraft of all kinds, from vintage and classic GA planes to vintage and classic airliners. They are all so unique and so much fun to fly and they are the most interesting planes to fly as well. When I'm flying my good old A2A Constellation or my B314 The Clipper, for example, I just pretend I'm flying back in the 1940's 😁

I went to their site and its actually down right now for some updates and Simmarket does not explicitly list what comes in the package. Could you or anyone else who is a Maddog Driver explain what reference material is included in the actual download? thx. It comes with à full set of manuals also with a QRH and a tutorial. All systems are explained. I am not in front of my simming computer for another months so i can not be specific on this I am sorry. Also forgot to mention this but the Maddog has an EFB which works quite well. On 2/17/2023 at 5:39 PM, Urmel81 said: I'm considering since years to purchase it.

Also again I'm sorry for the savage advertising, but my virtual airline has a huge "Classic" section with many Maddog flights that are digitalization of real world paper schedules. There are more coming and after this we will have a rather complete set of airlines (hint : major US operators on their way) So if you need ideas for flights there it is. https://ftg-va.org/ Guillaume YouTube Channel : The Flying Frog (P3D flying) My Flickr Gallery : clicky clicky CPU: Ryzen 5800X3D at 4.5 Ghz Motherboard: Gigabyte AORUS X470 Ultra Gaming RAM: 48 Gb GPU: 1x RTX 4090 OS : Win 11 Display : Philips BD4350UC (4K 43" display) + 1 AOC 21" FHD side displayHardware: Virpil WarBRD Base with WarBRD Grip OR Warthog Grip, VPC ACE Collection Rudder Pedals, Honeycomb Bravo Throttle, Goflight MCP Pro, Custom homecockpit.

I have a huge investment in the 'legacy' Orbx scenery including all the airports so was looking for a smaller jet to service the mid range runway strips. My go to in fsx/msfs has been the pmdg 737 so I don't want a third purchase, also need get out my comfort zone a little. Been flying mostly night flights in fsx /p3d which is still very atmospheric for me. The lighting appears much better to me in p3d than msfs between dusk and dawn so it's actually an improvement. Once I've managed to dial down that pesky hdr nonsense on non hdr TV that is! Russell Gough SE London
August 21, 20241 yr I have the Maddog for all my sims (the 2010 for FS9 and FSX, the current one for P3Dv4 and 5, and the MSFS one). I still believe the FS9 one has the better sound. Or at least I grew used to the sound of the AT servomotors driving the throttles, which I can't hear in the other sims. I guess I'll try porting the FS9 sounds to the other sims.

I guess I'll try porting the FS9 sounds to the other sims. That's interesting. If the systems are the same in MSFS as P3D I will just buy for MSFS. Does the MSFS version have better sounds than the P3d version? Any addon sound packs? I'm only using P3D and FSX again as I have the best/only versions of certain planes for those sims. Russell Gough SE London
August 21, 20241 yr Actually, the MSFS sounds are worse. I never tried any addon soundpacks (why should I pay more, if I already paid over €100 for the bird?), but people have been talking about the FTSim one. EFBs are different, but I like better the user interface in P3D (maybe because of 2D panels, knob and switch handling in VC, instantaneous camera switch and no stupid camera banking). Livery availability is definitely better in MSFS, and I haven't been able to port textures back to P3D. FPS impact is good in both v5 and MSFS, and there's WXR in both.

August 21, 20241 yr Also have them all and i fly MSFS all the time now with this favorit. Highly plus is the FTSIM+ sound package. It really has got close to P3D over the years. Michael Moe Edited August 21, 20241 yr by Michael Moe Michael Moe
