Revisiting the Leonardo McDonnell Douglas MD-82 in Microsoft Flight Simulator after a long time away 

I always enjoyed and appreciate your videos and learn from them. To me the Maddog was from the very beginning in FSX several years ago along with PMDG been the ultimate hands on “study level” aircraft. It has always required a lot of reading and studying to fly it as it was designed. From what I learned it very close to the real thing. It has been one of my top favorites for several years. Very glad we have it again.

I like it but am not sure of radios etc. I think there is a sound enhancement in SimMarket as it is fairly quiet. Really enjoyed the video, great landing. I'll do well starting it up. lol. Slainte, JB

You've done well Jon ! I love this one, because it's so different and complex...so hard to learn and master, good value for the money, though

What a long body this airliner has. The wings are towards the back and the engines in the rear. You wonder how it actually flies but I'm not an engineer. Interesting and complex cockpit. Very entertaining and informative video. Thanks.

I love this Plane and use it very often

Unlike real life pilots, we simmers go from aircraft to aircraft , thinking that we can maintain the degree of flying competence to make the flight uneventful. That's pretty much an impossible task. Then again, simming is about dreaming of flight without the cost and risk of the real thing.

Hi Jonathon, Thanks for another interesting video. I noticed that on the ILS chart its showing a 2.5 degree course offset which is probably why it didn't look right. A good hands-on approach well executed though.

Just watching this back, interesting to see I completely missed engaging the auto-pilot. That says volumes about saturating yourself with workload in an unfamiliar aircraft, and the effects of doing so.

I think I've come up with some merch T-Shirts for you: 👕 JB does MD "Looks, It's Doing It!", "Forgot the Landing Lights Again!" x 3 "I Want to See the Green Banana" "Get your Slats Out" Lovely & enjoyable as always - the MadDog loves it alarms doesn't it! 😜

The knobs on the windows..they were left over from the dce3!

This is a handful for sure, isn't funny how we have sitting our most expensive airplane in msfs collecting dust? I myself am guilty as well of not flying this aircraft enough

FTSIM soundpack is very good, better immersion

Jonathan I apologize for this type of question but I don't have access to my PC at the moment to see the specs but by chance do you know the range distance for this aircraft? I tried to make my flight plan from KIND KLAX in simbrief and right away got a red notification that the flight plan was out of range for this aircraft, I can swear that I did That flight before but I'm not 100% sure though, I'm I choosing the wrong aircraft type profile in Simbrief (md82) ? or maybe the CI parameters?

The buttons and dials have just been sneezed all over the cockpit

Is it better than the Rotate MD80 in XP?

Greetings I have purchased and downloaded the latest MD80 by Leonardo. When I bring up the load manager it only shows the basic Maddog, nothing in MSFS2020. It keeps saying "waiting for Simulator" I did purchase the MD83 and 88. Idk how to activate it. My registration keys says incomplete when I enter it, also copied and pasted it with no luck. Any help would be great.

I wish there was a regular DC-9 available as this one way too long, looks almost unstable in the air? Just sayin' It don't look too good to me. Looks matter!

When for Xbox ?

$81.00 ........jesus

Is this plane a 3rd party download? Its not for sale in the steam version
