Does anyone know of a nice MD-88 with more features than the stock fleet plane. I am not wanting to be buried in PMDG realizm but would like to go a little deeper than the present offering. Thanks

Hi Ed. Your options are basically:

CLS - https://www.commerciallevel.com/webshop.php?actie=pshow&pid=103&groep=11
or the Leonardo Maddog: http://www.flythemaddog.com

I'd highly recommend the latter - though I have no experience with the former. The Leonardo is very realistic (not quite PMDG-level, but close) but don't get too worried about it. The vast majority of the detailed modeled systems you'll nor really have to touch. And, of course, if you have questions about it, we're here to help!

All in what you want. If you wnt the Leo that is NOT simple and you have a ton of time thats the one you want. I have daughters and what nnot so not a great deal of free time, so I chose the CLS MD80 and I love it simple but not to much.
