When I try to download the DC-9-50, I get the DC-9-14 and DC-9-32 but not the DC-9-50. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Delta doesn't operate, and hasn't operated the DC-9-50, if i'm correct. I believe that just went to the MD-88, -90

Sorry I missed this thread. We considered adding the DC-9-50, but like the 757-300 it fell into a category of aircraft that was only flown by CO/NW and therefore wasn't worth the addition of an entire model and the corresponding increase in installer size. Adding an extra texture or two just increases the installer size by about 200K which is pretty small; a new model can be 2 or 3 MB.

Cheers!

Speaking of the installers, can I just say WOW! They make adding new aircraft as easy as can be.

When I see on flight schedule calling for DC-9-50, can I uses the other DC-9-14 and DC-9-32 and still get credit for the flight?

Thanks confused

You can fly a route using any aircraft as long as you have the aircraft rankings.
