Fly The Maddog in MSFS, the excellent and advanced McDonnell MD-82 simulation by Leonardo Software House just got a new and free update for last weekend. It adds the “Canadian-Marconi with PMS navigation system in alternative to classic Honeyweel FMS, and the EPR SEL option in TRP.”
Order the complex airliner with numerous systems here at simMarket.
If you want to try the new FMS system Marconi, follow these easy steps :
- Launch Fly The Maddog X Load Manager
- In the left column, select the Aircraft tab
- At the Aircraft option select the livery variant of your choice AND for the FMS option, change Honeywell setting to Canadian/PMS.
- Use either Save and Sync button, or the Save and Exit button in the top right corner, depending on the number of aircraft variants that you want to edit.
- In MSFS aircraft selection menu, make sure that the ATC tail number of your selected livery actually matches the number painted on your aircraft. If you have still a custom tail number in the ATC options of that aircraft, you will remain with the Honeywell FMS version displayed in the cockpit.
