The MD 80 is for those who want to really fly that aircraft. Its operation is realistic as they can get. People are now so interested in graphics due to the new cards that can deliver 1440p to 4k and soon 8k. This plane really needs two pilots and all your attention to fly. You are paying for the operation and I understand your frustatration since I just got my RTX Rog 3070Ti card and gone ultra on graphics. I only fly the MD80 when I follow a real flight plan from Flightaware and want a super realistic flight.
I hope we could get that on the in game marketplace because I still have not figured out how to purchase it yet
Fly the Maddog website. Google that
It’s on SimMarket. What else do you need?

Thanks
I looked at their FB page earlier but couldn’t spot anything.
Hopefully the Change Log will include items fence sitters have been waiting on & it can sell more units.
Had it been launched after the 737 & A320 I wonder if it would have been priced closer to those 2 as currently its a high side price outlier which attracts extra scrutiny & criticism because of the price.

Just got the email that the update is available.

They really need to get a little more “end user is daft” in their explanations on the liveries tool, yea just toss it in your Maddog folder … like I’m constantly inventorying the 33.3gb and 29k files in my documents daily, saw it right away … not.
Oh and had a funny ■■■■■■ no RTFM pilotong moment just a bit ago.
A voice came on telling me to gain altitude, I looked at the mountains ahead what, I’m plenty high enough at 10k?
Plane whizzed by at exactly the same altitude opposite direction about 20 yards to my right!
Oh … TCAS?
I climbed to an odd number alt of 13k after that.
Oh and you can see the fans moving behind the cover now.
I have no sound in VR after update??? You get sound while in PC mode but it completely silent once you enter VR mode. Infact the sound is turned off even after exiting and loading another aircraft… I have to restart MSFS to get sound back.
What is going on with this?
Does anyone know if there are plans to improve the plane’s wingflex animations?
How is this plane and what are the devs plans onwards?
Out of the 4 new jets the Maddog thread is nearly dead in comparisson.
