The McDonnell Douglas MD-90 is a twinjet narrowbody commercial airliners created by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation as the successor to the MD-80.
This is an accurate and complex recreation of the MD-90-30, the only series produced. Other variants such as the MD-90-55 were cancelled and never built.
Overview
Currently, this project is simulating the Enhanced Flight Deck (EFD) version of the MD-90-30 with V2528-D5 engines. This is the only simulation project attempting to do so with any degree of accuracy. This project was announced celebrating Octal450's 10-year development anniversary.
