Rotate MD-80 Pro v1.42 Tutorial Flight | KMSP to KCVG [X-Plane 11]

Welcome to this complete and extensive tutorial covering the Rotate MD-80 Pro in X-Plane 11. While flying a real world Delta Airlines route from Minneapolis Saint Paul Intl (KMSP) to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Intl (KCVG) we will have an in-depth look at this very special and complex airliner and learn how to set up the preflight, power it up as realistically as possible (within my knowledge and the help of checklists) and then fly that beast. During the flight not everything works out as expected and some procedures get overlooked since I didn't fly the MD-80 in a very long time and it gives you a lot to do, but I will point out the missing steps. Nonetheless we arrive safely at our destination and I hope that you will learn something new about the Rotate MD-80 from this tutorial flight :)

The route: KMSP ZMBRO7 ODI J30 JOT CEGRM5 KCVG
