Excellent product! I only found the added step of locating and then downloading no installing liveries to be a stupid step. Just put it all in one DL guys.
Great cockpit and exterior modeling. You have to choose either the Blue or the grey panels but cannot have the option of both simultaneously. I chose blue.
These DC9s all have similar behaviors with little difference in flight modeling and only some minor cockpit differences regarding where certain switches are located. So it’s easy to move from one variant to another. You will definitely want to at least skim the manual. One tip I feel is valuable to offer is regarding the need to turn on fuel heaters when about FL150 or you will encounter I’ll pressure loss and engine stall. However the 3D cockpit view of the overhead doesn’t allow these switches to be clicked and are accessible only by opening the 2D overhead panel to activate and deactivate these crucial switches.
Other than that odd switch placement I found everything else to be excellent. Nice little fleet to add and I’m glad I did.
Based on use with FSX SE Win 10 3.2ghz, i7 16gb RAM Intel UHD 630 integrated graphics. No problems whatsoever.
Very good DC-9 rendition, all types are there and all have fitting, type-specific cockpits.
High quality paints and good looking model. Nice system dept and a very good flight model.
I bought it before for FS9 and FSX-SE felt incomplete without it. Had to have back.
Reminds me a bit of the original "Iron Knuckles" DC-9 I used to fly in FS2002.
Would recommend it to anybody looking for a good replication of a classic jet. Especially if you like to have all types from 10- till 50. For this price it's a no brainer, go get it!
I could not wait to use it. I was wrong, so where do I begin. The installation file would install but after an 1 hour or so would just hang. I tried a total of 3 times and file keeps on hanging while installing. I contacted both Sky Simulations and Sim market and sim market was not helpful. All they said "Make sure I was connected to the internet." Which I already was...
A must for DC-9 fans.
The exterior model and sounds are excellent and the provided liveries are perfect.
Sounds are perfect. Flying is very steady but the yoke seems to turn too much when the autopilot is turning the plane. Systems logic is faithfully recreated.
There needs to be some improvement in the appearance of the virtual cockpit, some gauges appear a bit blurry.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy classical jets.
Hat of to Sky Simulation.
They have made a very nice DC-9 simulator,
as far as goes for the flight model.
(VOR-DME-NDB-ILS, works just fine for IFR flights.)
Pitty that they have played
themself into the "lower half" when
it comes to intrumentation.
If they fixed the thing with the instrumentation
lights, instead of the hole cockpit beeing lit up,
with no "clean instrument lights" option avalable.
(as on most high quality planes.)
They would display real cockpit Lightning options
and they would benefit themself from this fact.
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.
I had many problems to install the first versión, I update my PC and I can´t install it again. I am sorry thath they don´t resolved the installer issue. I will not buy it
Im am deligted with the improvment. Easy install over the old version and twice i assédio for support and got answer on the same day. Me experience although...
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.
