Fantastic scenery, one of THE BEST in a long time. Hats off to Digital Design on this one. When they say friendly FPS they were right, absolutely stunning scenery and fantastic performance. If only all airports were made like this. Really hope to see more like this one in the future for P3DV4!
My first ever flight in real life was on a MD83, and who wouldn't want to fly a piece of history? I'm so glad I decided to pick up the Leonardo Maddog Professional edition, I've added it to the wide range of payware aircraft I own and it easily ranks as one of the best. I can't really explain it, it's just such a delightful aircraft to fly, handles really nicely and true to life. I love all the little purely cosmetic details too like being able to open every single door on the aircraft, I was also surprised at how detailed the systems are. A nice touch is the configuration program that comes with this where you can change all the payloads, passengers etc. even set failures or inoperative systems. I actually fly in real life as a flight attendant and know inoperative systems are a common thing all the time. APU not functioning today? No problem, connect the Air Starter Unit and follow the procedure to start engines that way, also completely simulated with this product as one of many things. I knew nothing about how to fly this aircraft before purchasing it, if you actually take the time to read the manual properly it is very informative and within no time you will be up in the air. Although I really do recommend if your budget can stretch that bit further to purchase the FS2Crew Maddog Copilot, adding a copilot to my flights has made everything a lot easier and also more realistic. My personal experience with the Maddog support, it's a forum where you can find other fellow virtual pilots who all try to help each other, I posted a question and got my answer. I give it five stars purely because it's such a unique plane and I'm sure anyone would love to have it.
