Flight1 is excited to announce their latest product featuring the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 (known as the Super 80), and also featuring a new Integrated Cockpit Training System (ICTS).

Ultimate Airliners - The Super 80 brings back the classic modes of flying in the era where glass was just starting to appear. This rendition is based on the original Super 80, circa 1979. So with the combination of classic analog and early electronic navigation, you have a product that requires a lot of attention, but also rewards proper cockpit management. And if this does seem complicated, the new Integrated Cockpit Training System will help guide you through many of the steps required in order to have a successful and accurate flight.

There are many details that make this a highly advanced release for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and FS2004:
