McDonnell Douglas MD-80 by Rotate Released

The Rotate MD-80 is an aircraft simulation add-on for the X Plane Flight Simulator v10 by Laminar Research.
The first version of the Rotate MD-80 has been released. Get it here.

This simulation is a most accurate replica of the popular McDonnell Douglas aircraft, specifically the MD-88 variation. The realism of the 3D model and texture work is pure and delightful eye candy. The advanced systems simulation makes a solid experience for the exacting simmer.
