MD-80 PAYWARE

Post by David Briggs »

Greetings!

I am in hot pursuit of the Retro Jet endorsement and have scoured the airwaves for a freeware MD-80 for x-Plane. As far as I can tell, a really good ship does not exist. If only I could get the ZIBO team to make one version of everything for the sim!

So, I am turning my attention to payware. As you know I can fly any of the MD-8X planes, DC-10, 707 or 727. My preference is the MD-80 or derivative. Can anyone suggest a really quality payware plane in this lineup that I can put in my hangar?

Thanks!

David

It was my understanding that Xplane came with an MD80 family of aircraft. I just typed in xplane md80 and came up with this;

Wayne,

XP does come with an MD-80 version but it is very buggy. There are also at least 2 freeware products that are a little better but again very unreliable. So, I seek something better.

Thanks!
