FS2000 MD-82 Flight Model

The following air files are included for
two different popular airframes:
1. MD82FF.AIR is the Freeflight AFX
2. MD82Q.AIR is the Brian Quayle original AFX.
NOTICE: This air file does not work with FS98
or FS98 engine gauges. It only works
with true FS2000 engines gauges. I use either
the default 737 or 777 engine gauges until
gauge designers provide true FS2000 gauges.
For operating speeds, please refer
to the enclosed Alaska Airlines MD-80 Series speedbook.
Special thanx to Andrew Reynolds for the speedbook graphics.
