Rotate MD-80 Pro

The Rotate MD-80 is an aircraft add-on for Laminar Research X-Plane that simulates the original McDonnell Douglas MD-80. It is a most accurate simulation of this popular aircraft, specifically the MD-88 variation.

The MD-88 flight deck is equipped with EFIS instrumentation and two FMCs, combined with a few electro-mechanical gauges that convey an old school feel. It features complete autopilot guidance for all phases of flight, and carries two PW-JT8D-219 power plants.

Features

  • The 3D model has been sculpted to the last detail in cockpit and exterior, and is accompanied by complete set of 4K textures painted with exhaustive attention to the real features of the actual aircraft.
  • The instrumentation and systems have been modeled to resemble the original. All the systems include custom logic to achieve a greater level of realism.
  • The flight deck is fully interactive, with detailed animations and an immersive sound implementation built with samples from a real cockpit and dynamic sound effects.
  • The performance of the JT8D-219 engines has been ported to the X-Plane model, and the aerodynamics have been developed according to the tests of MD-80 pilots and available documentation.
