SKY SIMULATIONS - MCDONNELL DOUGLAS DC-9 FSX V2

SKY SIMULATIONS - MCDONNELL DOUGLAS DC-9 FSX V2

After receiving alternative installer with unique key I have managed to install this nice product. And here are the impressions: After purchasing this product you will have complete DC-9 line of planes (all series), which is not the case with the other product of this plane. It is not down to the core simulated plane but it's far from simple click and fly type of products. It looks and feels great and gives you decent complexity and depth of simulation. I'm not crazy for simulated abnormal operations and all I want from classical plane in my FS is to be able to fly it and enjoy it. That is exactly what SKY SIMULATION DC-9 series offered me. The main difference from previous version is updated VC with more details and it looks very nice with all those photo real textures. You'll be able to almost feel the smell of that old classical, steam gauge cockpit. :) Great job on the interior part. Every series of DC-9 have different VC and 2d panel simulated and that makes this product even more interesting. I didn't notice huge difference on outside model but it is correctly modeled and nicely textured. I love it, and the most important thing is that you'll be able to do your own repaints since SKY SIMULATIONS is offering you great layered paint kits for all their planes. Flight dynamics are greatly improved. I've tried DC-9-30 and 50 and in comparison it with previous version they feel more stable during climb and turns. Autopilot have nice old school slow response. Keep in mind that these are old ladies and you should think few steps ahead while flying them. I'm really a great DC-9 fan. I love this plane since it was the first aircraft I ever fly as a kid, therefore I must respect everything SKY SIMULATIONS have done creating all DC-9 line of aircraft, and they have done a great job. If you love steam gauges classic planes this is a great product for you and it offers much more than I have just say about it. The only thing I disliked about this product is installer problem I have and I hope this alternative one I've received from the author will become standard one in the future.

It so hard for me to say this since I was very satisfied with previous version of this plane, but this one is disappointment from the start. Not because the plane is badly simulated but because I wasn't able to install it at all. Installer was faulty and it became unresponsive every time I have tried to install this addon. I was trying to run it as administrator, to stop AVAST during installation but nothing seams to help. I'm even more disappointed because I still didn't receive any explanation from SKYsimulation support. Looking forward for an fixed installer.
