Leonardo Software House has announced the official release of Fly the Maddog X for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, following the successful completion of its open beta phase. Thanks to valuable user feedback and the stability improvements introduced with Sim Update 1, the developer has deemed the aircraft ready for full release. And it’s a free upgrade for owners of the Maddog X for MSFS 2020!
A study-level MD-80 experience
The Fly the Maddog X remains one of the most detailed and complex aircraft available for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The add-on replicates the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 with remarkable accuracy, enabling users to follow real-world procedures using authentic documentation. Pilots will also encounter subtle nuances and undocumented quirks that bring the experience even closer to reality.
For those looking to expand their fleet, Leonardo SH also offers an optional MD-83 and MD-88 expansion pack, bringing even more variants of this classic airliner into the simulator.
Special discount and FSWeekend presence
To celebrate the official launch, Leonardo Software House is offering a 20% discount on Fly the Maddog X and its expansion packs from March 13 to March 20 on SimMarket. This is a great opportunity for both new users to add this highly detailed airliner to their MSFS collection at a reduced price, especially considering this this is one of the most expensive aircraft add-ons for the platform.
Additionally, the Leonardo SH team will be present at FSWeekend in Amsterdam on March 15-16, where they will meet the flight simulation community and showcase the Maddog.
With full compatibility in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, this iconic airliner is now available in the latest sim, offering a highly detailed and operationally realistic experience. Check it out!
