The Rotate MD-80 is a most accurate simulation of this popular aircraft, specifically the MD-88 variation. It offers a complex and immersing simulation experience. The realism of the 3D model and texture work is pure and delightful eye candy. The advanced systems simulation makes a solid experience for the demanding flight simmer.





- Precise flight model and fine tuned engine performance.

- Virtually all the instruments and controls are interactive.

- Developed with the advice and counseling from MD-80 licensed pilots.
