Rotate - MD-80 Pro XP11

The Rotate MD-80 is a most accurate simulation of this popular aircraft, specifically the MD-88 variation. It offers a complex and immersing simulation experience. The realism of the 3D model and texture work is pure and delightful eye candy. The advanced systems simulation makes a solid experience for the demanding flight simmer.

The Rotate MD-80 is also supported by our NavDataPro service for up-to-date navigational data (requires a separat NavDataPro subscription).
