The McDonnell Douglas DC-9 is a short to medium range, narrow body commercial passenger jet aircraft. The development project of the DC-9 launched in 1963 was intended as a short-range companion for the larger DC-8. The 70 seat DC-9-10 was the initial variant and entered service with launch customer Delta Air Lines in 1965. When the production of the DC-9 ended in 1982, a total of 976 DC-9 variants were built.
Flight1 is publisher of many flightsim add-ons. Their Iron Knuckles DC-9-30 package contains 4 different DC-9-30 models (including the military version DC-9-C9A), many quality liveries, advanced panel, virtual cockpit, sound package and manual. The exterior is detailed as is the panel. Many cockpit systems are modeled. The virtual cockpit looks simple, the overhead panel is made of 2d textures and most of the buttons and handles are not clickable. However, the flight dynamics are very good and all animations seem to be accurate. Unfortunately, the rudder doesn't have much effect, so beware for crosswind conditions. |
