Good to see you guys are still suffering insomnia Mark
And Cpt. P these guys are part of SimV and the rule is they post in My Site and here in the FS2k4 forum so nobody misses their amazing work

Wow . Thanks Mark. I love your e-3 and kc-135 (as you can see from my sig ) And I absolutely love them! Keepp up the good work guys . I'm looking forward to the md-83 acause my aunt's airline company has one . Will it come with panels though?

Quote:


We won't be producing our own panel/gauge sets for the MD's, but rather, like was done with the L1011's, we'll likely select candidate versions of existing panels for modification/improvement and for use with our aircraft. We have 4 target panels of interest, at this time, which we feel do meet our basic requirements, and which would like to be able to further develop  .... subject to the appropriate authorizations being procured beforehand.

I can tell you there will be 5 variations of MD-80 aircraft .... as follows ....

MD-81
MD-82
MD-83
MD-87
MD-88

The MD-81/82/83 versions will each be supported 2 models featuring both the early DC9 TYPE and later modified "chisel shaped" rare fuselage tail cone .... whereas the MD-87/88 versions will each be supported by 1 only model featuring the modified rear fuselage tail cone.

There will also ve an MD90-30 model as well .... BUT .... this aircraft version will likely not make the next website update.

In addition to this ....

Each aircraft base pack will be supported by superb FDE files, a host of both historic and recent textures .... and .... we'll also be releasing an AEROMUSIC P&W JT8D-217 soundpack for these aircraft and which will provide the appropriate quality  audio/tones for most. Other MD/B717 TYPE soundpacks are also being worked on, but, might not be ready in time for the next website update.

A phenominal amount of work is still required in order to complete/ready this particular project for release !
