January 28, 20251 yr Just completed a short flight from LSZH to EDDF in MSFS 2024. Unlike @Wothan, I didn't have any issues selecting SIDs and STARs -- however, I was on the default navdata that was installed with the addon. I didn't try entering the departure or destination manually (I imported the flight plan from Simbrief).
January 29, 20251 yr Here's how to deal with navdata for this: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/released-md-80/513095/1081 Dave Current System (Running at 4k): ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F, Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 5090, 55" Samsung Q80T, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, EVGA CLC 280mm AIO Cooler, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS & Stick, Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant & Add-on, VirtualFly Ruddo+, TQ6+ and Yoko+, GoFlight MCP-PRO and EFIS, Skalarki FCU and MCDU

It's a great video haha 13 hours ago, Sonosusto said: Still, this plane is going to remain on my to-buy-eventually-list. It definitely should, as for discounts, I haven't seen one yet unfortunately. 13 hours ago, Sonosusto said: Does it have windshield wiping effects when raining? Just curious. Nope 😛 13 hours ago, Sonosusto said: I heard the sounds from youtube video and they're alright to me, comparing videos from a pilot perspective. I love older airliners because there is so much more workload as opposed to modern planes, I feel. This is why the 146 and Avro are my favorites. the atmospheric sounds like avionics cooling fans, packs, electrics etc. are all great. It's really the engine sounds where it falters, especially outside. Though yeah I agree, the classics really make simming that much more interesting. Since I moved to VR the workload feels even more heightened, still a little fearful of giving the 727 a go in VR despite being pretty good with it on flat-screen. 13 hours ago, Sonosusto said: Thanks for posting and being honest about this. This is rare on this site as people just post/bash etc. No problem, I feel being objective only helps us as consumers make more informed decisions when we're going to purchase something.
January 29, 20251 yr What makes this plane my favourite is that I can't think of any other airliner that feels like it wants to kill you if you let it. Hand-flying approaches means throwing the yoke around like you're angry with it. Engines will flame out if you push them too hard, but they also respond so slow which means you have to show them you mean it. The TRP put me in so many close calls taking off than I care to admit - albeit that one is on me. You can easily shut down your engines and/or kill everyone on board just by not flicking the right switch. It's just so much fun.
January 29, 20251 yr Got it up and running last night, all good and got as far as engine start before bed. Tonight I’ll humble myself and go for a flight…I’m going to be super rusty! 😀 Dave Current System (Running at 4k): ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F, Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 5090, 55" Samsung Q80T, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, EVGA CLC 280mm AIO Cooler, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS & Stick, Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant & Add-on, VirtualFly Ruddo+, TQ6+ and Yoko+, GoFlight MCP-PRO and EFIS, Skalarki FCU and MCDU

March 13, 20251 yr Did I read something about a full new model and sounds somewhere? Or did I imagine that? Scott Griffiths

They did say down the line they intend on releasing a new update with that. But I haven't seen anything to suggest that's anywhere near release. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
March 13, 20251 yr Commercial Member Btw. in case you have not seen: the Maddog will be on sale in simmarket (for the first time afaik). Time to buy for those (like me) who seemingly waited forever to this moment!
March 13, 20251 yr Sale is nice but I bought it back in May 2022. Worth every penny for me even with the lacking default sounds and not being one of the more better detailed looking models in MSFS. Its still one of the most detailed systems modeled airliners in MSFS. Edited March 13, 20251 yr by JBDB-MD80
March 13, 20251 yr Its available in your simmarket-account. Free for Download, when you have purchased the MSFS2020 Version. Also FS2Crew is available for MSFS2024 Edited March 13, 20251 yr by Alti
March 13, 20251 yr Does anyone know if I buy this on sale will I get both 2020 and 2024 version? I’m sorely tempted!
