With some retro BN AI traffic next door.

Due to an error on our part during the compilation of the installer, anyone who installed 1.2b218 for FS2024SU2 and is experiencing non-functioning switches needs to re-download the fixed installer from SimMarket. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi Captains, a new version for FS2024 1.2b218 is now available for download in your download area on simMarket. This update brings compatibility with FS2024 SU2 and fixes a couple of reported issues. Here follows the changelog: - fixed Canadian FMS 2 button '4' not working; - fixed low/high maps in EFB charts app; - added instrument view for EFBs; - added option to pause sim at TOD, or in case of failure; - updated magnetic variation database to WMM2025; - MSFS 2024 SU2 compatibility. NOTE: to properly register Fly the Maddog X MD-82, you'll have to enter your email address in the 'Email' field and your registration number in the 'Product Registration Number for Fly the Maddog X MD-82' field. Leave the 'Enable Key' field empty, then click 'Register'.

Was not expecting these effects. Nice touch. Thanks for the work getting this gem into 2024.

Have taken out the dog for a few walks ^^

You are welcome Stefano and am glad you are enjoying them. I had to do a fair amount of work to my base paint kit to get them done, especially working on the white horizontal stabilizers. Plus I always enjoy liveries with variations and hybrids, they add a nice variety.

Hi Stefano and I confirm that the livery (incredible, but the only one I've tried at the moment is the Ati "Blue", where I also have many childhood memories) works perfectly with the '24! Installed via livery manager... beautiful and perfect!

Nick, I'm really impressed by your work — you've done an amazing job! The blue ATI livery, in particular, is my absolute favorite. It brings back so many great memories from my childhood, and I can tell you put a lot of effort into getting those details just right!

Great! Works with the version released for MSFS24?Thanks

SimMarket - 20% off!

Hi captains! Thanks to user feedback during the open beta phase, and with Microsoft's official release of Sim Update 1 (SU1), we now consider Fly the Maddog X sufficiently stable for official release: we are ready to officially launch Fly the Maddog X for FS2024 tomorrow, 13 March. This new version brings full compatibility with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, maintaining the high level of realism and detail that the Maddog series is known for. For existing users of Fly the Maddog X for FS2020, this will be a free upgrade (you will find the FS2024 installer in your SimMarket account), allowing you to seamlessly transition to the new simulator without additional costs. ***** The Leonardo SH team will be present at FSWeekend in Amsterdam next 15 and 16, where we will meet the flight simulation community and showcase the Maddog. ***** To celebrate the event, from tomorrow until next Thursday, Fly the Maddog X will be available at a 20% discount, both for the MD-82 Base Pack and the MD-83/-88 Expansion Pack on all platforms on SimMarket. Stay tuned for the official release, and take advantage of this special offer to experience one of the most iconic airliners in flight simulation!

Fly the Maddog X MSFS2024 compatibility now available as an OPEN BETA Program – Free for all MSFS2020 customers! At this stage, we consider development and support for MSFS2024 to be experimental, due to the current state of the SDK and the simulator itself (which we still consider immature and containing bugs). For now, only the MD-82 variant is available. You can download the MSFS2024 installer from the dedicated topic in our forums (login required). Although we will accept customer support tickets for the MSFS2024 version here, please note that we may not provide direct responses. However, rest assured that we will review all user-submitted issues to help improve the MSFS2024 version. Additionally, we have created a new community forum (login required) that we will monitor to gather user feedback. As a side note, MSFS2020 repaints are fully compatible with MSFS2024. ***KNOWN ISSUES (1.2b212)*** -> MSFS 2024 does not honour the registration stored in the aircraft.cfg file. The first time the Maddog or a new livery is loaded, the correct registration must be set in the MSFS Aircraft -> Configure -> Identification page. Alternatively, the entry "Registration=<registration>" can be added to the SYSTEM section of the maddogx.ini file, specifying the registration of the aircraft that will be used in MSFS (i.e. Registration=I-LEOX). -> Pilot/Copilot avatars do not show up correctly. -> MSFS 2020 Maddog X liveries are compatible with MSFS 2024, but the aircraft thumbnail will not be visible when selecting the aircraft (except for the default liveries). -> Maddog X Quick Guide document not updated.

Dear Pilots, We wanted to take a moment to address the initial challenges with FS2024. As a new platform, it’s been a learning curve for us as well, but rest assured, our team is actively working to address these issues and ensure a smooth experience for everyone. We’re excited to confirm that the Maddog X will be coming to FS2024 as a native upgrade and it's just behind the corner. Best of all, this upgrade will be provided free of charge to FS2020 Maddog customers. In addition, I can now tell that we’ve been hard at work for several months to bring the Maddog up to 'FS2020 standards' in terms of 3D modeling, textures, and sounds. Our idea is to offer an optional expansion that adds these enhanced features for those who already own the current version of the Maddog X. No ETA or screenshots at the moment. Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work through these early stages. We’ll keep you updated as we make progress, and we’re confident that the final result will be worth the wait. Best regards, The Leonardo SH devteam
