OK - that's probably bad taste, and our VP of HR will give me grief for this. However, this picture shows an FFX MD-88 cruising around 1500' AGL in the western suburbs of Toronto. I always do my flight testing out of CYYZ since I know the city and the airport so well. Folks who've been bored enough to check my logbook will note that the MD-88 is one of two standard DVA aircraft that I've yet to fly. (The other, interestingly enough, is the 757-200, but with the Lonnie Payne panel I have this may change.) I love the dynamics, and the handling. Why didn't I fly this airplane sooner?
What you probably don't know is that the MD-88 was installed using the Win32 installers I've been talking about from time to time. I extracted into the directories, built the NSIS installer script, and ran it. It worked (99%) on the first try, giving me an FFX MD-88 and the Paul Golding MD-88 panel. It installs perfectly into FS2002, and also creates an entry in your control panel like this:
I just need to test the uninstall.  Now that I have a working MD-88, the manual and installer will all be coming out real soon.
Cheers!
