  1. Same here, the wait is long but I know it will be worth it. Can't wait to fly the NEO along the CEOs.
  2. Nice flex. Talking about +/- 50 ft variation during cruise, corrected themselves.
  3. Tried the plane today. I was pleased with my first flight. Good performance, no electrical failure like above. Autopilot still need some tweaking, not holding altitudes in ALT HOLD but the real aircraft is far from perfect either. I've had good performance also with it. Can't wait for them to iron out the aircraft and follow up with the -300.
  4. I stand corrected. I think you guys are right. Just reread through the article and it seems to be too good to be true (to me). But I'd be more than happy to have a 747 classic from them (before MSFS2028, that is). As always with the man I'll take that with a pinch of salt.
  5. Looks like sarcasm than anything else else from Rob ...
  6. Yes I have the same problem. It makes me unable to land after my flights. MSFS becomes totally unresponsive.
  7. I have done it many times and the opportunity to fly real routes with the ini A310 and A300 is the reason why I bought the latter. Also until recently Ariana had some A310 flights.
  8. ChatGPT told me it was a Dc-10 or an MD-11 we'll see about that haha.
  9. IIRC DC-9 were never fitted with those. Most navigation was done with VOR and NDBs. Quite a few DC-9 recieved GPS upgrades later on in many forms.
  10. The Leonardo MD-8X is one of the greatest addon for MSFS. There are not many things that are NOT simulated on this aircraft...
  11. I'll wait until it clears out, maybe tomorrow, it does not really matter. I'm happy with their success already. I last flew the MD-11 in FS9 in 2016, I can wait 24 more hours.
  12. Yes I think we just need to be patient. Your order should show under services in the client are. Even if it shows only 1 item (in my case, the 717), once you click on it the MD-11 will appear.
  13. It's in the client area, but showing "Pending" here.
  14. It's more likely to not be a matter of key generation, but a matter of witholding the key and sequecing the release of keys to customers in order to not overload the servers.
  15. 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. The official repaints are found here : https://www.flythemaddog.com/forum/index.php?/forum/100-native-pbr-repaints-for-the-liveries-manager-tool/&_fromLogin=1 Miguel from Hangar226 has done a good chunk of them too. https://elmikey.wixsite.com/hangar226 MSFS repaints can be converted to P3D use but that's probably against the EULA so I won't add any details. 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/
  16. Hi ! I'm a heavy user of the Leonardo Maddog. System-wise, it is one of the most advanced if not the most advanced add-on available for P3D. I love the 3D models, it runs very fine. I find the VC very detailed, for example the FMC CRT displays will have a slight curve, just like real CRTs. It is also fully integrated with GSX and has an optionnal ACARS system that uses hoppieNL and is compatible with VATSIM and Activesky. In addition to the system depth that you could also find with the PMDG and FSLabs, the Leonardo Maddog adds a (light) maintenance and persistance module. That means the more you fly your aircraft, the more you will experience aging of the airframe and systems, with chances of failures as you go. You can choose a brand new airframe or set your airframe and engines to 70.000 hours and cycles if you'd like, the aircraft will behave as such. As you grind flight after flight, if you don't perform the mandatory checks (rest assured, it's a just a click in the load manager) you may well experience failures related to this. The best is that you can actually treat the failures by working the related checklists, the aircraft will behave accordingly. Be reassured though, this is optional and you can deactivate failures if you don't want the hassle. Another example is brakes heating that is very well simulated. Basically, the MD-80 has a not so efficient braking system. So that means if you land too fast and don't use thrust reversers, you are in for a runway excursion that's for sure. Same thing if you taxi like a dumbass, you can overheat your brakes and in case of an RTO things may not end well. I personnally put my hands on a set of real world AOM and related documentation from a now defunct airline, it really has everything, and I fly the bird by this airline's book. It's been pure joy. To me it is one of the greatest add-on ever made for P3D, and I love it. On my Youtube channel there are a few videos I shot with the Leonardo Maddog, that may help you decide. (sorry for the savage advertising here) I hope this helps.
