Fly the Maddog 20th Anniversary is hands-down one of the most detailed and rewarding aircraft I’ve ever flown in MSFS. Leonardo has truly outdone themselves — this isn’t just an add-on, it’s a full-on study-level experience that respects the legacy of the MD-80. The systems depth, flight dynamics, and overall realism are outstanding. Every switch, every procedure, every sound feels authentic and purposeful. You can really tell this was built by a team that deeply understands and loves this aircraft. The updated visuals, cockpit, and cabin bring the Maddog to life while still preserving the soul that made it legendary. It’s challenging in the best way possible and incredibly satisfying once you get into the flow. Massive respect to Leonardo for keeping the MD-80 alive and giving it the attention it deserves after all these years. This is a must-have for serious simmers and classic jet lovers alike. Worth every dollar. Highly recommended.

I picked up all three variants of the Fly the Maddog 20th Anniversary Edition for MSFS 2024, and this package is the real deal. The MD‑80’s character, workflow, and classic hands‑on flying are captured with precision, making every flight feel purposeful and deeply satisfying. It’s a product built with passion, and it shows in every switch, every procedure, every takeoff. For anyone serious about old‑school airline operations, this is an absolute standout.

Verry good addon with beautiful exterior and interior, love it!

Absolutely brilliant aircraft - I've owned it for about 12 hours and can't wipe the smile off my face - great work!!

Top-tier add-on, you can't go wrong with Leonardo. This update was sorely needed! Well done guys.
