Yes, you could also say they are both DC-9's. From what the devs have said so far ATS is making the 82 and Rotate the 88... essentially the same plane.

I have been following Parsec's (I think the group goes by ATS) MD-82 for a very, very long time. It does look promising but quite far off from release. Rotate's MD-88 pop'd up on my radar about 8 months ago and also looks very good. It is nearing beta and should* according to the dev be released sometime this year. I am eagerly awaiting both of them.

Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love a PMDG quality 75/67 and wouldn't complain one bit if they decided to go ahead and do it. There are many planes that I would like to see done in over the top quality, but if I had to pick one and one alone, it would be the MD-80, something about that plane...

Since this thread is a bunch of wishful thinking, I will side with those who wish for a PMDG MD-80. I don't know what I would do with myself if that happened. While there are a few MD-80's on the market, none really put it all together. I know the probability of a PMDG MD-80 is tiny to say the least, it would get my vote anyways. Here a little MD-80 motivation http://youtu.be/7R0CViDUBFs

Hmm, I have zero problems with DC-9 since early on, patches have fixed all that. My only knock on it would be the cockpit lighting could be a bit better, but that's a rather small issue and I'm working on custom fx's to help it a bit. There are pluses and minuses to both the CS737 and Milviz 737, they are two parts that if they could be combined would make a really good 732 sim. As far as comparing the CS737 to the DC9, the DC9 has all those little extras that put it in a different class and make it what I consider a more complete package. And as somebody else mentioned the support for the DC9 is hands down spectacular, Espen takes care of his customers.

I wouldn't go that far. To CS's credit their L1011 is quite nice. I would agree with others that the Milviz 737 is a better comparison, it is nice too. I just wish they would fix a few niggles with the exterior model.

I don't know, in my opinion the DC-9 is in a whole other league from the CS737, just way ahead. The DC-9 is also a joy and pleasure to hand fly, I don't remember how the 737 was but I don't remember it flying particularly well.

KSP is very addictive, great game. I have made it too the mun twice, but have never made it back. 1st successful attempt to make it there and I crashed on the Mun, sent a rescue ship which also crashed, so I have 4 stranded Kerbals.

I am completely good with adding atmosphere to the simulator, just not gun and guts. I actually like Flight's ability to get out and "walk around"; adds depth and immersion. Taken to the next level, I think that could be a good tool to actually walk the plane and have random "failures" that can be caught during the walk. To me, there is a way to make civilian flight interesting to the masses and to the hardcore, the developer just needs to recognize the challenge and be willing to walk the tight rope.

Just play GTA or Battlefield... I prefer not to have shooter mixed on the same plate with my civilian simulation. Besides you would be narrowing the scope of landscape down to an area not worth flying around.

Fort Worth Meacham north approach, very early WIP. Custom buildings, requires (unless you want overlapping objects) MegaScenery Dallas.

I used my yoke for about one day before buying pedals. Auto-coordination may work for some but to me it was awkward and broke the flight characteristics. I found that with the yoke alone and no rudder command lining up the centerline was just a frustrating, hair pulling affair. Constantly banking left and right to keep centered instead of just small yaw adjustments. I couldn't consciously recommend a yoke without the pedals. But, to each his own.

Ok, I was just going off of what you had said. Regardless, I would still recommend Saitek. It is just up to you whether or not to make an attempt at using it without the pedals.

Saitek makes decent products for a reasonable price. Been using their yoke/throttle with pedals for years. However, to be honest I wouldn't go for a yoke without the pedals. This would force you to you keep one hand on the yoke and another on a stick for the rudders. Besides, if all you want it for is an Airbus; you are already doing it correctly. Most airbus (A320 included) do not use a yoke, but rather a side stick. So, you are already doing it realisticly with just a joystick.

If there were no FSL A320 coming I would go with the AXE, it blows BBS out of the water in most categories. Heck, even when the FSL version gets here I may stick with the AXE; it all depends on what FSL brings to the table. I would not bother with BBS, not the A320 anyways. They [bBS] do have the only modern A330 at the moment, however if/when AS gets around to making an A330 I will be promptly uninstalling the BBS version.
