Sky Simulations DC-9 V2 veröffentlicht

Der klassische Zweistrahler mit seiner charakteristischen Tür unter dem Leitwerk ist jüngst von Sky Simulations als Version 2 für FSX und P3D veröffentlicht worden.Für 35.70€ (bzw. 21.42€ für Besitzer der Vorversion) ist die DC-9 im simMarket erhältlich. Die Vorversion der McDonnel Douglas MD-80 und MD-90-Reihen, sowie der Boeing 717 startete 1965 zum Erstflug. Besonders im nordamerikanischen Raum fand die “kleine” McDonnel mit T-Leitwerk besonderen Anklang. Sky Simulations liefert neben der Urvariante, der DC-9-10, auch die Versionen 21, 30, 41 und 51 in einem Paket. Außerdem verspricht der Entwickler ein komplett funktionsfähiges VC mit diversen Animationen und Funktionen. Weitere Features lassen sich auf der folgenden Highlight-Liste nachlesen.
