FLIGHT1 SUPER 80 LIVERIES UPDATE
Even for an update like this one that fixes issues and added new features, it’s quite an impressive list: Let me first look at the Rotate change log file and see what update version 1.3 is bringing for new things. That doesn’t mean I know everything about the aircraft, and it doesn’t mean I’ve been a pilot, but a lot of things are familiar to me when it comes to MD-80 Series models. I have been a licensed ground engineer on the Super DC-9-82 or, put simply, I was an MD82 Series ground engineer. Sound, Performance and FPS (Frames Per Second)Īlthough I look forward reviewing this McDonnell Douglas MD80 from Rotate though they could easily write MD-88 which clears a lot of things. I only hope that my iMac can perform well enough to make it a success. Since more and more simmers use X-Plane 11 above X-Plane 10.51, I give it a try too. When it comes to aircraft modeling, design, functionality, flight dynamics it shouldn’t make a difference which platform I use. That said, I’ve decided to review this Rotate MD-88 version with X-Plane 11.00pb15. Due to the length and complexity of this product review, I thought it would be helpful to include a table of contents.

That said, our previous review covered version 1.21, but with this upgrade it’s worth to review once more the updated model and of course how the aircraft performs with X-Plane 11. For some of us the compatibility with X-Plane 11.00pb15+ was another highlight. That’s good news, right? Many new features where added as well as issues that were solved. The Rotate team recently – March 2017 – updated the modeled aircraft to version 1.3.

You won’t read this at their own Rotate website, you won’t read this on the X-Plane.Org site, but in the Rotate Manual is finally written … MD-88. I'll try and get a screen print and put it up here.įor those that are looking for a new complex airliner to Master and are bored with the usual Boeing and Airbus offerings, this is a really special add-on.To confuse you even more … from what I know, the Rotate MD-80 Pro is actually the MD-88, and yes, it’s also a long narrow body as you can read in the previous paragraph.
Goodbye LNAV / VNAV and welcome to the 1979 Omega Navigation System. This is a wonderful plane - hugely under represented in FS which makes this version even more welcome. BUT the inital loading of the screen takes 7 seconds (every time you select the VC - they are working on this). it actually gives amongst the best Frame Rates of any VC. There are one or two teething problems, such as the VC. fantastic to hand fly, although takes some practive, she's slippery and you can really feel the inertia from having those engines at the back! Flight dynamics are on a par with (if not better than) the Level D 767. Stunning, beautiful, gorgous exterior model - she is just a BABE !

This is one complex plane but if you don't like reading manuals then this is for you - you can learn it in practice, not in theory!
FLIGHT1 SUPER 80 LIVERIES HOW TO
You get a Training Centre that interacts with FS and shows you how to operate and set up all aspects of the plane. Amazing set of utilities come with this. Here are some bullets that give my first impressions :. Īnyway, you can check out the spec at but needless to say, this is one special aircraft. Where's Original Grunge when I need him 😂. Flight 1 release what has to be up there as one of the best new payware aircraft add-ons ever for FS, and I drop by to my old buddies at Flyaway and there's not mention of it ! 🙄
