- A first look at the Leonardo McDonnell Douglas MD-82 "Mad Dog" in Microsoft Flight Simulator - flying a circuit around Stansted Airport. I cause all manner of alarms to go off on landing, and obviously have a LOT to learn - but the scope for education and associated satisfaction with this aircraft is HUGE.
It's one of the first proper "study level" aircraft in the simulator - along with the BAE-146, and will no doubt be the focus of many, many videos going forwards.

I just bought the just flight 146 professional and system/engine wise is like a dream! Also it works great with Navigraph! Very happy with my purchase! I will prob try out this one aswell however the souns is just as important for me as everything else
Great to hear! I love the 146 too.
Did you have any issues programming reverse thrust? I got the Honeycomb bravo and heard a few people had issues assigning thrust reversers
I had to create a throttle profile specifically for it, use the 0-100 axis, and change the sensitivity to move the centre position of the throttle throws to +50% in order to make the reverser bite point kick in at the right point for the Airbus quadrant.
Vice MD! Thanks for the intro video!
No problem 👍
Interesting to see you're getting those temporary freezes too. I'm experiencing them as well!
I've been getting them for months
This is why I'm not leaving xp11 and p3d
@@mro9466 I own both. XPlane crashes once LUA eats all your system ram, and P3D crashes once it eats all your GPU RAM (while filling your hard drive with log files of a world of problems within the simulator)... All simulators have their problems.
@@mro9466 it's not game breaking. It freezes for 10 to 15 seconds, once and only once when you fly the first time after loading the application. It will run superbly well after that, I have a 5800x with a 3080, playing at 4k, it's smooth as silk after that. Just an odd issue that I hope gets fixed soon.
Thanks for your video about it. That's a really nice plane. But 90 EUR incl. VAT is way to much money for me. So i go for the 146.
The 146 is better value for money in my opinion. The MD-82 is more of a challenge :)
I agree the price is a bit steep for MSFS, especially with those terrible sounds and not the best visuals, but it is the most complex and finished airliner available. The 146 doesn´t even have a custom FMC yet and not everything is simulated.
I have put 20 hrs in the 146, it’s absolutely the best MS2020 plane for the money, and includes 3 variants.
Hey guys, is anyone else having issues with the in-game default ATC stuttering when flying the Mad Dog in MSFS2020?
Yes, it stutters sometimes. I've experienced that too. It tends to be when you rush it through things (or try to do aerobatics) lol
Having had a spate of CTD on final approach, the benefit of such a complex aircraft is that the time it will take me to get it in the air means it's more likely to crash shortly after take-off.
Mounting the magnetic compass away from the panel provided more accurate headings. Obviously, the mirror is so you can see it without turning around. Search for images of a magnetic compass in airliners or GA aircraft. They will have a card showing the corrected heading to fly because of the interference caused by instruments in the panel.
Absolutely - there's a wonderful video on RUclips with a real MD-80 series pilot showing you around the aircraft, and some of the idiosyncrasies of the cockpit and avionics :)
@@jonbeckett A link to that video would be great.
Thank you for putting this together. Is it true that the OFP from Simbrief won't load onto the FMC? This is what I saw on another video, but there's not a lot of talk about this issue on the few videos that I've seen so far. Cheers.
I’ve had no issues importing a flight plan from simbrief via the company route.
I haven't actually checked that - but if you think about it, if this is study level, who would it let you do something automatically that wasn't possible in the real aircraft? In this aircraft, the fun is in programming the FMC by hand.
@@jonbeckett Whether it's "study level" is debatable. Only a real simulator can provide study level models. The EFBs that we see in all modern flight sims, including the MD-80, also are not realistic but they are implemented on all so called "study level" models and I'm sure you are using that EFB on the Maddog.
@@Sputnik21 this is really picking at straws though, isn't it - a simulator is a simulator is a simulator - none of them are real, and each approach different elements of the experience to varying degrees of realism :)
@@jonbeckett then, another reason why importing flight plans from Simbrief should be a must in 2022 😉
Hello, How can I set up the tiller in MSFS? I can only use it with the mouse so far, and with rudder, I bearly get around the corner
You can map axis in the controller configuration.
@@jonbeckett you mean in MSFS? I Know, But how do I map The Tiller? A tiller is Not intended in the Sim.
@@Hughes2405 Look for nosewheel steering.
Those random freezes only happen with me with DX12 Beta, you might wana try DX11.
Ps. you see these all the time in the USA tho generally its the MD88's. Delta uses them for connection flights all the time I was in one three weeks ago lol
PPS. I recommend using the TOGA/Autothrottle on takeoff it makes thing a little easier with managing the speed; rule of thumb is V1+10kts on the MCP.
Thanks for the tips - I haven't read ANY of the documentation yet, so have lots to learn :) I'm running DX11.
@@jonbeckett hmm odd not sure when. oh have you had any CTD's? with my MD82 when touching down on landing I have had it happen 3 times now in a row.
Delta retired the MDs in 2020. You may have been on a 717. 717 is based off of the DC-9/ MD series aircraft but is full glass panel with its own type rating.
I had the same random freeze issue... it was something to do with wireless/bt mice. I used a raz and a logitech both good mice. No other issues. Msfs hated both. Now on a new logitech usb mouse. Not an issue since. Maybe?
Unfortunately not - bluetooth is switched off.
@@jonbeckettwasn't just bluetooth, was any wireless mouse. Bt or rf, mine would run all day no freeze. Then move the mouse, and it would freeze from 10sec to 10 min. Mine would only freeze during mouse movement, and would instantly unfreeze when I turned off bt, or unplugged the 2.4ghz chip for wireless mouse. It happens with any device that uses batteries, and is sent a wakeup signal, for some reason msfs blocks that wakeup signal, and freezes everything. I was hoping that would help ya, because that sucked. I knew it would always come back up eventually so it wasn't game breaking, but I've had it happen on approach. Then freeze for x time and I wasn't ready when it unfroze... rip atleast a dozen flights to that issue and lost reno races. I hope ya get that solved!
Turbine Sound Studio's Need To Release There HD sounds cause Default Sounds For Any Freeware Or Payware Aircraft isn't the main focus
To be honest, I think the main audience for the MD-82 are more focused on the avionics working as they should, rather than what it sounds like - but yes, it could do with improving.
@@jonbeckett All I Buy Is Study Level Only, Some Folks Just Want To Press One Button And Go lol completely kills the fun of learning an aircraft
@5:15 " You'll notice it's very quiet ..." That's because no one is there to yell, " You are running over the GPU!!!!! ". Lol!
Hahahaha :)
Where do you find this aircraft, I went into the Marketplace and I can't find it but everyone is talking about this plane.
You can buy it from simmarket - google it :)
@@jonbeckett I was too impatient and did google it. Already got it installed. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the amazing video.
Do they have it in TWA livery?
Not in the stock liveries - somebody could of course create one.
What sort of GPU are you using + monitor and resolution ?
NVIDIA 3080 - I'm actually playing in 4K, and then downrating it to 1080P through OBS for RUclips.
@@jonbeckett Kool 😎 ! I used run 4K with 2060 Super GPU, worked but only just. Bought 3070Ti and bought a new 32” 2K monitor, hopefully work out good. Was thinking 3080-12G, we’ll see, it’s a fair bit of money + have enough heat in my office already 🥵
@@jonbeckett Water pump died for the cooler ❄️ once back from warranty repair 👨🏻🔧 I’ll be back in the air + spending all this money 💰 on aircrafts, MD80, BAE146 and 737-700 PMDG
@@jonbeckett OBS is great ! Using it in combination with Cubase, easy to record System Audio to Cubase 👍 🎶
Nice vid...im tempted but do I buy the pmdg 737?
That's the big question, isn't it :)
@@jonbeckett yes it is...however I am a pmdg man tbh
Pmdg 737 is coming next week.
Hard to learn Jonathan? I’m comfortable with CRJ, big step-up
It's actually very easy to fly - because it's realistic - the flight model is fantastic. The trick is to operate it correctly - which obviously I did not :)
@@jonbeckett That’s fine my friend, you just wanted to share experience short trip round the airport, not a comprehensive 3 hour tutorial :) Good video, just what I wanted to see, quick look.
Any idea if this will be released on Xbox?!
I very much doubt it - it requires a "Load Manager" application to license it, they install it without asking you where to put it, they create multiple folders (with binaries) in your user profile documents folder, and then plasters icons all over your desktop - all without asking.
If you're wondering - I'm massively unimpressed with the packaging of the aircraft :)
@@jonbeckett Thanks for the warning - I was worried about that.
I'm starting to get flashbacks to that time Flight Sim Labs put malware in their installer and called it "DRM".
@@DEFkon001 Yeah - some of the MSFS developers tried that in the early days with their aircraft, and there was a massive backlash - within weeks they re-released the aircraft without the DRM.
@@jonbeckett Ah really ? Do you mind naming the devs who did it ?
Blinking engine gauges means you are running the engines too high RPM and would get a flameout if it was in real life. Use derates!
I know :) It was a first look! lol
Poorly done sounds for an addon that cost that much money!
Agree, I have seen some comments saying that you can’t hear the engines in an MD-80 from the cockpit because they are so far away, which seems like it is true to some degree based on real life cockpit videos, but it’s clear that from the external view the sounds are lacking. Hopefully they will correct this in time
Completely agree - the simulation of the avionics is on another level to anything else at the moment though.
I feel like the sounds are the biggest turn off from what I have been hearing.
@@iFlysimX They are ok. I think perhaps the problem is most of the good aircraft available so far fall into one of two camps - either they operate correctly, or they look/sound good.
I think the price is cheap. I'd pay $200 for no doubt
I love all these addons but I just can't love MSFS, the camera system alone as a pile of absolute shite comparted to Chaseplane or even the default XP camera system, most of the time it doesn't move, hotkeys work 50% of the time and when you right click... you can't move any of the aircrafts controls... wtf
I don't have any problems at all with the views and controls in MSFS. I hear a lot of kickback from people that complain that either it doesn't work they way they *want*, or they can't change it to make it work the way they *want*. It's NOT X-Plane. In my opinion it's a LOT better (and I have several years of X-Plane and the Zibo-Mod behind me). At the end of the day they are both simulators, both video games, and both fun.
Very unimpressed with the cockpit texturing, very FSXish and seems very little thought went into them for a 2022 $70 USD module IMHO.
Yup. I´m glad there are quite a few people complaining about the textures (and sounds) cause this is the only way to force the devs, not only Leonardo, to up their game. For this price it needs to be a proper study-level plane with high-quality textures all around and sounds that don´t need replacing with another costly sound pack. Those days are gone.
I don't think they look THAT bad.
@@iFlysimX for a $70 USD module for MSFS in the year 2022? For $70 USD, you must be joking, right?
@@567davefair In my opinion, no they don't look FSXish...That's a very strong word...
@@iFlysimX everyone is entitled to an opinion. I guess I should have referenced Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight instead of FSX.
