hey guys what you think? http://www.flight1software.com/showcase/s80/

[Dutch64]

Looks very good, I'm anyhow quite impressed by the planes i bought from f1...

[Jetsgo]

Would go good with a Jetsgo Mastercard repaint

[fruitfly]

+ : fliyes by the book, great handling, simulated systems, fully clickable VC, training center, extensive manuals...

- : complete lack of reflections resulted with somewhat "cartoonish" VC (gauges look like drawings and not like photos, or should I say - real ones- chech artificial horizon to see
what I mean), refresh rates are not THAT good, really minor issues with lights (soon to be corrected)

= not polished like ATR or A36 or PMDGs(graphics), but a GREAT addon that will only get better.
I'd compare it with DF727; everything is simply great with these two but they would be perfect with a bit better graphics.
I recommend it.

I've just completed my first flight following complete procedures, from cold and dark to leaving the plane cold and dark.


..........one thing is for sure - with this level of thoroughness (checklists and preocedures-wise) there will DEFINETLY be no version of
FS2Crew for this plane EVER!!
In matter of fact, I'd like if FS2Crew used some of the techinques applyed here (like an optional arrow that shows the switch in question)

G-R-E-A-T!!!

(if they only put reflections...)

[WBHoenig]

Payware, I assume?

[fruitfly]

Rightly so!

However,the same author has also previously published an extremely well accepted freeware, Fokker 50, so here's a link if you want to
give it a try:

i'd buy it if it came with a American Airlines one. Also how much is it second link was broken(the link one the website).

The Super 80 has an american airline livery, for many addon liveries, check this page:

http://www.fs-gs.com/repaints/repaints.html

So now you have to buy it! :p

Just to show off, I've done five of the liveries ^_^

No, hence the word "fictional" if you check down on the list of airlines and creators

I made a fictional air france and KLM just for the fun of it

[Navymmw]

if you start up FS and select this plane(super80), will it start up all ready to go(engines on, gaugues working) or dose it start off with
everthing off? also dose it have a virtual cabin?

you can set the configuration to already be started ready to go. When you load the aircraft click the arrow go to (i forgot exactly what its call)
I think its procedures. click on configuration i think and theres one that says aircraft ready for take off. Sorry Im at work, cant guide you all
the way, but the selection is there

[Navymmw]

I just brought it, how do you open the doors?
