Turbine Sound Studios proudly presents the MD-8X Pilot Edition soundpackage for FSX / P3D recorded in HD High definition.
This Pilot Edition is as heard from the cockpit.
This product has been developed for the Leonardo MaddogX model for FSX and P3D ( Other models will also work with this soundpackage with some variation )
This soundpackage includes the following :
External engine sounds.
Internal engine sounds.
Wind sounds.
Cockpit environment sounds.
Custom distance sounds.
Custom dynamic sounds.
And much more.
A total of 76 soundfiles are included.
All recorded in HD and compiled to meet Microsoft Flightsimulator X / P3D specifications.
The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 is a series of twin-engine, short- to medium-range, single-aisle commercial jet airliners.
It was lengthened and updated from the DC-9. This series can seat from 130 to 172 passengers depending on variant and seating configuration.
The MD-80 series was introduced into commercial service on October 10, 1980 by Swissair.
The series includes the MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, MD-87, and MD-88.
These all have the same fuselage length except the shortened MD-87.
The series was followed into service in modified form by the MD-90 in 1995 and the Boeing 717 (originally MD-95) in 1999.
In response to environmental concerns that began in the 1970s, the company began developing a new version of the engine, the JT8D-200 series.
Designed to be quieter, cleaner, more efficient, yet more powerful than earlier models, the -200 Series power-plant was re-engineered with a significantly higher bypass ratio
(1.74 to 1) covering the 18,500 to 21,700 pound-force (82 to 97 kN) thrust range and powering the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series.
This increase was achieved by increasing bypass fan diameter from 39.9 inches (101 cm) to 49.2 inches (125 cm) and reducing fan pressure ratio (from 2.21 to 1.92).
Overall engine pressure ratio was also increased from 15.4 to 21.0. Since entering service in 1980, more than 2,900 of the -200 series engines have been produced.
PLEASE NOTE : Sound quality can be reduced in the promotion video ( Video converting )
Wow ! I can't say enough as to how great the sounds are with this add-on. As a 1M mile Delta frequent flyer I spent a lot of time in Delta's MD 80 fleet and the TSS engine sounds are so authentic. Completely changes my experience in my Fly the Maddog X Delta MD-82. This is a must have. Thank you TSS !
Bought it because I thought the included sounds with the Maddog X (64bit P3dv4+) were slightly lacking. Made a noticeable difference the engines are more noticable from the cockpit and have that unique angry buzz/humming characteristic as you push the throttles up for takeoff. Whether realistic or not from the flightdeck is debatable but it improved my simulation experience and I feel it was worth the price.
