The MD-80 is an old airplane, so make the textures like after 20 years of flying, not like new from the production line.

dirt accumulation is a feature that craft devs can simulate... craft do get washed and waxed for that showroom look and smell...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Its almost ready to go public. (With the understanding that its early in development... don't expect an MD-11 or A320-family level simulation yet.)

Kind Regards,

For an aircraft that's still under its early stages, it's quite good. :D

Thanks Delta 5142 for your feedback.

Also - the following 2 are not bugs:
- flight controls in "weird" position on ground - no airflow, they'll do weird sh*t!
- feels "laggy" flight controls especially at low speeds - as in the real plane. Surfaces respond slower with less airflow, don't whine about it please :)

Kind Regards,
Josh

Gave it a quick flight, it looks pretty good so far. Hard to read the black dialogs but I guess you like them :D
