New DC-9 coming up

[ggi]

I've just bought it. Initial impressions are - bit buggy (Start switches in 2D don't translate to VC etc.etc. etc.), but overall I really like the aircraft. IRL I remember seeing the PIC pushing forward on the column to keep the nose down on take off until Vr is established, and on the sim initally thinking the nosewheel comes unstuck too early with neutral trim, but when you try to fly the DC-9 and copy the real life procedure of holding the nose down to Vr, it flies off perfectly. It's for FSX only just now so many of you won't look at it, but it's good value for money and you get the DC-9-10 to DC-9-50 included, with different panels for different models, I think it's a good add-on. I am a big DC-9 fan as I worked for BMA a while back, and a bug patch is due this Wednesday, hopefully adressing the issues. Apparently a FS9 version is imminent - maybe worth a try? Also a BMA 1985 livery would be a plus! I'm not aware of another UK DC-9 operator, a few MD-80s were on the UK register, but no-one I can think of operated the DC-9 with GB plates on. Long live steam cockpits!!

Thanks a good model :-) It may finally convince me to retire my trusty iron knuckles DC-9 !

Thanks for that feedback, I'll have to wait until the FS9 Version rolls out.

Best,
