PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE STANDART VERSION ONLY!!! THE PRO VERSION IS AVAILABLE HERE: CLICK!
Ensure you read the features carefully, PRO Version features are noted!
Available for FS9 and FSX Fly The Maddog is one of the most sophisticated and complete add-on ever developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The accuracy of cockpit and system simulation is very high and there are many features which add realism to the simulation and are not present in standard FS aircrafts.
Key features
- Standard and Pro versions.
- Three different cockpits (Pro only).
- Highly detailed VC and 2D panels, up to 1600x1200, with vector graphics displays (GDI+).
- Wide 2d panels, for wide screen LCDs with 1.6 aspect ratio, up to 1920x1200 (Pro only).
- Realistic flight dynamics, tested by active MD80 pilots.
- Complete CM-1 and CM-2 instrument panels with functionally separated instruments.
- Dual/multiple systems simulation (DFGS, FD, CADC, EFIS, AHRS) with switching.
- Full electrical system simulation including working overhead breakers.
- FMS – Flight Management System, two different models in the Pro version: Honeywell or Canadian Marconi.
- PMS – Performance Management System (Pro only).
- DFDR – Digital Flight Data Recorder.
- TCAS – Traffic Collision Avoidance System.
- WAGS – Windshear Alert and Guidance System.
- EGPWS – Enhanced Ground proximity Warning System.
- Weather Radar.
- Autobrake system (Pro only).
- MELs and deferred inoperative systems management (Pro only).
- Automatic failure generator. - Full dimmable cockpit lightning and backlighting.
- Brake degradation with wet or frozen runway and with brake overheating.
- Realistic icing on flight.
- Auto/Manual pressurization system.
- More accurate flight model and engine parameters.
- Integrated Load Manager and Route Planner application.
- Control Panel application for ground services, failures and instructor control.
- Multi crew operation between two PCs connected via TCP/IP.
- Possibility to save and reload the panel state (even in flight).
- Customizable panel (main color, FD style, FMA arm modes, etc.).
- Digital sounds set recorded from the real plane: engine, APU, batteries, air conditioning, passenger signs, clicks, cockpit noise, boarding simulation...a true immersive sound experience!
Cockpit versions (Pro only)
Three different cockpit versions:
- Full EFIS with Honeywell FMS for LNAV and VNAV (the classic Maddog).
- Full EFIS with Canadian Marconi FMS for LNAV and PMS (Performance Management System) for VNAV.
- EFIS with FMS and analog EDP (Engine Display Panel), SDP (System Display Panel) and OAP (Overhead Annunciator Panel).
Aircraft Model
- Realistic control surfaces (the pilot act on the control tabs and the main surface will move for aerodynamic effect, i.e. when IAS >0).
- Working elevator power.
- Realistic rudder movement: powered/manual/restricted.
- Realistic spoiler (each tab is assigned to the correct hyd system and the max angle is controlled by the wow).
- Separate left/right reverse syncronized with the cockpit lights.
- Working autoslat with test.
- Butterfly/nozzle valve animation (related to the panel pressurization system).
- Working apu doors (including manual operation).
- Separate lights (landing, wing, flood, nacelle), separate extension of landing light and double intensity nose light, each light is connected to the correct electrical bus.
- Working cockpit door (related to the cockpit door switch in the overhead).
- Working wipers.
- Doors/stairs: fwd cabin door, aft cabin door, aft stair, fwd stair, fFwd/aft service door, fwd/mid/aft cargo doors.
Virtual Cockpit
- Highly detailed Virtual Cockpit. Every switch, knob, lever is modeled in 3d and animated.
- Superb instrument lightning at night.
- Animated windows, Wipers, doors.
- Windshield reflection and rain effects.
FMS
- Horizontal and vertical navigation (LNAV only for Canadian Marconi).
- User defined and conditional waypoints.
- Two indipendent routes (Honeywell only).
- Sid/star and navdata custom database.
- Color display (Canadian Marconi only).
PMS
- Vertical navigation (PERF modes).
- ETA and Fuel prediction.
- Vertical waypoint list.
- All BOD definition modes.
- All pages and menus are implemented.
FGS
- Fully functional and accurate FGCP: all the real MD80 autopilot functions are simulated, including autothrottle, autoland, IAS/MACH, NAV/VNAV e TURB.
- All FMA messages.
- Cross-bar or single cue flight director.
Systems
