Hrm, it's not missing one of its structural parts or anything you can easily percieve, but what it is missing is some buttons and knobs, here and there. The FSX version, at least. For one, I can't find the autobrakes - which is a serious problem -, and there's some 'aesthetic' details missing, such as the taxi lights. And no seatbelt warnings either. Maybe the FS9 version has these implemented, in which case the only real problem here is the FSX panel, but I am not sure.

Any thoughts? I don't want to move back to FS9, but I'll consider it if there's no other choice.

Invest in the Leonardo Maddog software. It is by far the most realistic experience you can get for the maddog, especially if you add FS2Crew to the package.

I never use autobrake, lol. I just land the plane, deploy the spoilers, put the engines in reverse thrust. Once the plane slows to 60kts I put the engines to idle and use my brakes on my rudder petals to slow to taxi speed. Works every time but I guess I should get into the habit of setting and arming them cause when winter comes I might need them or skate off of the end of the runway, lol.
