by mark.avey on July 7, 2007

Excellent news from Flight 1 - they have released a free upgrade to their fantastic Super 80 for Flight Simulator X. As the press release notes, this is not just a compatibility patch, but a full upgrade.

This is a great aircraft - give it a try if you can. It’s a reminder of how busy a pilot’s life was before the advent of full FMC’s etc:

Flight One Software, in partnership with CoolSky, has officially released the FSX version of Ultimate Airliners - The Super 80.

This upgrade is more than a simple port over from FS9. For the model and textures, it is a complete rebuild utilizing the latest export tools and FSX materials. This Super 80 has all the features that a native FSX aircraft should have. The Virtual Cockpit also has the very latest FSX materials applied throughout, and was re-built and re-textured.

The instrument systems have also been improved, with numerous fixes and adjustments to make this product even more realistic.

This update is also free for all FS2004 version customers of both the download and CD ROM version.
About the product: 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 Integrated Cockpit Training System will help guide you through many of the steps required in order to have a successful and accurate flight.
