Microsoft Flight Simulator McDonnell Douglas MD-82 “Maddog” Gets Release Date & Pricing Info; San Luis Obispo Airport Announced

Today third-party developers had news to share related to upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons.

First and foremost, the highly anticipated McDonnell Douglas MD-82 “Maddog” by Leonardo now has a release date, and it’s on April 30 exclusively on Simmarket.

We also get pricing details (€75 plus VAT), and the mention that on top of the original feature list it’ll include an Electronic Flight Bag tablet and a brand new passenger cabin.

We also hear from Just Flight, which announced San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (KSBP) in the United States.

Here’s how the developer describes it:

Here’s an amazing rendition of this popular airport KSBP – San Luis Obispo Regional.

Right in the middle the California coast, between San Francisco and Los Angeles lies the beautiful San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport KSBP (McChesney Field) With a very active presence of General Aviation it also has three passenger airlines servicing nonstop flights to Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver, and Dallas-Fort Worth. Over the last few years, the airport has seen incredible growth to almost half a million passengers a year and expanded its capacity with a brand-new passenger terminal and Fixed-base operator (FBO) terminal and hangar.

This brand-new Microsoft Flight Simulator Rendition of KSBP is made with an obsessive amount of detail. It makes use of all the incredible features the Microsoft Flight Simulator platform has to offer, such as crispy high definition full PBR texturing and incredibly detailed modelling of all the buildings and objects at and around the airport.
