The Flight Dynamics appear to feel unrealistic. While this isn’t the best sound package on the market today, it helps add to the realism, and should be treated accordingly. I like the overall sound of the plane, even if it is a little loud. While this is a nice touch, I feel like he would be better off somehow integrated with the ICTS, like Aerosoft’s system. Included as well is a First Officer, who will call out your V speeds, and go through the landing checklist. From the APU to the trim wheel, you will hear most everything happening. The cockpit will have all sorts of whining and grinding noises. Central Aural Warning System recordings from real aircraft.External wind noise, gear noise, gear rumble.The Super 80 comes with the following features for sound: The JT8D engines at the back would make the airplane quiet, right? In flight, yes. The CLS Super 80 may have a higher fidelity model, but the Coolsky’s Super 80 wasn’t bad to begin with. The airplane compares well with newer products, and holds its own for the age. I think that payware liveries are a trend that shouldn’t catch on, and has seen little attention in newer products.Īlthough this plane is a relic, it’s exterior model is nothing to be ashamed of. You can purchase these liveries from McPhat, for a grand total of $19.90 a pack. One gripe I had was that, although the plane came with McPhat textures, many liveries were left out.
#FLIGHT1 SUPER 80 LIVERIES WINDOWS#
The windows were somewhat see through, and you could see some of the inside cabin, which had some good detail. The airplane has all of the major animations, like landing gear, flaps, slats, spoilers, and reversers. The model beneath may not have been the highest resolution, but it rendered the plane nicely. The liveries were sharp, while also not being too clean and fresh. However, look past that, and you will find a detailed control interface to fly your classic airplane. The VC is flat, and lacks in the visuals department. I constantly found myself accidentally turning on my WX radar. The only thing that I actively disliked was the knob for the ND brightness. Most planes lack the “steam powered” feel that this plane provides. Preflighting this airplane is a lengthy task, albeit fun. I have to back this claim up with the fact that, although flat, this VC is very detailed. I’m definitely not saying that it isn’t functional, but that it isn’t pretty. Everything is flat, and plastered onto the VC walls. I may be trying to defend the plane in this review, but the VC is hard to do so with. I find that the ICTS is a lot more useful than other external applications we use today. It’s safe to say that the aircraft’s goodies hold up well to other addons. These features will be covered in the “FEATURES” section of the review. With it, you get 23 liveries, the ICTS, and a monstrous 331pg. The plane took up about 440mb on my hard drive. You can enter your account credentials into the installer to activate it, or use a key provided to you. The airplane can be activated in several different ways. They also say that its a pleasure to fly, with great crosswind capabilities, and responsive controls. The plane is loved by pilots for its sturdy and mechanical feel. The aircraft is easily identified by its rear mounted engines and small wings. Powered by JT8D engines, the Super 80 is no longer the cost effective workhorse it once was. The plane seats anywhere from 130 to 172 passengers based on variant and configuration, putting it in competition with the 737-800. Widely used on short to medium haul routes, the Super 80 sees lots of use in North America and Europe. The Super 80 was a derivative of the MD 80, with updated avionics, and a glass cockpit. Sit back, grab your drink and snack, and… Actually, don’t lean back and drink. This airplane still has pretty crazy levels of detail, as we will now see. But, simply look at the Level-D 767, and you will immediately find that visuals don’t mean everything. The plane is old, and it’s visuals are somewhat crude. It’s old!” And sadly, I am forced to agree.
#FLIGHT1 SUPER 80 LIVERIES PROFESSIONAL#
I am going to see how well the Super 80 Professional has stood the test of time, and if you should still buy it. Today I would like to do a special review.
