Looks great but absolute rubbish to fly. TFDi put the final nail in the coffin.

A continuation of Leonardo's Fly the Maddog X, this expansion adds the illustrious MD-83 and MD-88 aircraft. To add some perspective, the last passenger MD-88 to take flight was in 2020 by Delta Airlines (The aircraft's largest passenger operator at the time.) Like the Leonardo MD-82, these do not fail to impress, admittedly unless you know the specifics of these aircrafts, you may find yourself pressed to find immediate differences, though one of the most noticeable are the more powerful engines. There are also numerous liveries for different eras and airlines. You can recreate old flights from carriers long forgotten, or you can even recreate some of the pre-retirement Delta flights from places such as the DAL hub at KATL. If you have the base Maddog X addon, this is definitely worth adding to it.

A faithful recreation of one of my favorite jet airliners. A very thorough and detailed study-level aircraft where almost every system is functioning and every control is useable. There is a bit of a learning curve but once you figure it out and learn to master this aircraft, it's a very rewarding experience. Just be careful, it is realistic and just like it's real life counterpart, you have to stay ahead of this aircraft or it will quickly get ahead of you, a lapse of attention at the wrong time can spell big trouble if you aren't prepared. Probably one of the best aircraft addons created for the sim, and I suspect it will hold that title for some time to come.

I am very much in love with this aircraft, you can get more liveries for it from INIBUILDS website. It's not study level but I think it's fair for the price and fun to fly.
