Free Flight, Free Speech

So someone asked me in other forum if I should make a DC-9. I would make the DC-9-50 first.

Here is what would be involved:
Use the MD-88 package's MD-82 systems.
Use the MD-88 package's MD-82 non-retrofit cockpit, and modify for DC-9.
Shrink the MD-87 fuselage further down to DC-9-50.
Model a new glare shield panel with DC-9 stuff.
Model a new autopilot panel on the pedestal DC-9 style.

Should I do it? If so, when?
Poll runs for 30 days. I will evaluate the decision when the 30days are finish.

I think it is not necessary, as you already did the md82 with the steam gauges. I would be much more interested to see another model done, like the 737-100 or 200. These planes can use an upgraded cockpit and fdm.

Kind regards, Vincent

Yeah.
But the DC-9 and MD-80 can share alot of systems, and so on, so it wouldn't be alot of work. Maintaining a whole separate model takes alot more work, and requires fully seperate systems. Since the file systems of the DC-9 would match the MD-80, I can drag and drop new systems in, then define them in the -set file and done. Same with more overhead work.

Please vote in the poll, that will be my ultimate decision point.

You have a DC-9-20...

Yes, but I can't fit my flightdeck into it, due to the shape of the front mesh.

No-one wants to vote?

I can not vote twice, can i?

I understand the thought about ease with the almost same model. So we'll see what the vote brings.

Just to bring maybe some others on ideas, i have not seen legendary British models in fg, like the monster Trident and the elegant VC-10.

Kind regards, Vincent

Hard to do planes you don't have a lot of infos about. Maybe that's why?
