FlyTheMaddogX is a developer known for the MD-82 add-on for Prepar3D. This developer recently announced a new upadate, that adds many things, today, the update is now available.
One of the most important new features is, for example, the shared cockpit, which adds a possibility to fly the aircraft with your friend, in one cockpit. There are also made some changes to the cockpit interior, like tuned PBR glass transparency or new spoiler lever model. There are also new sounds in the aircraft like the autospoiler. The FMC has been updated as well. When it is calculating speeds, the FMC will freeze for a while. The last but not least, the FlyTheMaddogX MD-82 is now compatible with Prepar3D v5. Unfortunately, this update won’t be free of charge, but if you have the MD83 and 88 in your hangar, it will be for free. More features can be seen in the changelog below.
