The Super 80 brings back the classic modes of flying an airliner, 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.
But for those not up to ATPL standards, the new Integrated Cockpit Training System will help guide you through many of the steps required to flying this airliner – guiding you in a way no aircraft has ever done before in Flight Simulator!
The training system will lead you though each checklist procedure and switch – live in the cockpit. You’ll see just which switch you need to press, the relevant panels will open along with explanations on screen in Flight Simulator.
And for those who just want to jump in and fly, a configuration manager will automatically prepare the aircraft and panels for any stage of flight – all at the click of a button.
A printed manual and a massive fold-out, double sided panel guide ensure you’ll never get lost flying this airliner!
