Fly the Maddog X - addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
Fly the Maddog X is one of the most sophisticated and complex add-on ever developed for the MD-82, built after the McDonnel Douglas MD-80 series.
Fly the Maddog X features advanced, study level aircraft systems that cannot be matched by any standard aircraft; it can be flown by following the operations manual of the real aircraft. We even encourage you to use such documentation to experience the level of detail that has been accomplished with this aircraft. Fly the Maddog X also features the undocumented intriguing details that real pilots experience when flying the real aircraft.
NOTE: If you also own Fly The Maddog X for Prepar3D v4-v5 it should be updated to the latest version in order to work properly side-by-side the MSFS version.
I finally succumbed to the ton of recommendations of this and got it, and I'm more than satisfied with it. Amir already said it best in his review "this plane has a soul, I love it, absolutely love it" I can really sign under that.
Plane also will essentially shut down when you use pause and escape out to the controls menu or need to use the loo - or when adjusting with FSUIPC.
I'd wait for a bit before buying.
10/10 for the system
but 5/10 for the cockpit texture. Hope dev can improve this in the future
In depth simulation of all systems, a LOT to learn - it will take months until I will be able to say: I know the MD-82!
The sound seems ok to me, engines are really far back, so inside the cockpit I do not expect to hear them. My Butt Kicker makes sure I know they are doing their work…
One thing in VR: the 3D mouse pointer turns into a double mouse pointer image when over the OHP. I contacted Leonardo and they confirmed that issue will be fixed in the next SU.
A highly recommended addon for anyone who is willing to dedicate time and effort to really learning this bird. It is not meant for beginners.
As others have said there could be a few improvements made to sounds and a few of the textures but honestly these are such a minor detail when the overall product is so fantastic. This plane is what many of us have been waiting for since the day MSFS released. A FULL simulation of a complex airliner that allows to you study, learn, and enjoy the challenge of this great old bird.
Thanks again LSH.
This is an addon that replicates the majority of the flightdeck systems, and does it very well. The external model is very good, an looks beautiful in MSFS.There are good manuals provided as well as an external aircraft configurator, used for flight planning as well as setting up the systems on-board, sound volumes, etc.
I've been a Maddog user since 2006 (FSX), and am delighted to fly the MD80 in MSFS.
Why 4 stars?
The sounds are not great. Sounds cut-in and out (such as the engine start-up). Opening the window does not make a difference and looping can be heard at certain times. It's not that the sounds are poor, just not up to the rest of the aircraft. I'm confident this will be addressed, either by Leonardo or an external developer.
If you prefer older aircraft, want a challenge in learning new systems or want a more realistic MSFS experience I can recommend the Maddog from Leonardo.
