FS2002 Aircraft-Douglas DC9-51 Eastern

Aircraft by Stewart Global and Flight FX


The DC9-51 brings a new aircraft fully compatible with FS2002. You will find that we've made it completely Gmax. It features the latest reflection including dynamic shine, lighting, and animation technology including accurate flaps, landing gears, and thrust reversers and dynamic wing and engine views. This is a second release in a line of MD aircraft. Next will likely be the MD83 or 87. The FDE is the superb FDE by Sam Chin with modifications by Mike Baumann (C)(2003), and the model is by Jonathan Stewart and Erick Cantu. This aircraft is truly a multi-group effort, one of many to come. The model itself is evidenced of this. The complete model is done by FlightFX. The lighting effects are by SGA. Textures by Erick Cantu, Mike Baumann and Takehiro Nakamura. View contents for open repaint policy.

We hope to soon include a highly realistic panel with this aircraft. For now, we recommend using Paul Golding's wonderful MD-80 panel for FS2000. While it is only for FS2000, there are patches available to make the panel compatible in FS2002, however, with the loss of some features.
