Sky Simulations has released Version 3.2 of its Douglas DC-9 for both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, bringing a mix of fixes, refinements, and MSFS2024-specific enhancements.
Highlights include:
- MSFS2024 integration with general rearrangement for new technologies, Career Mode fixes, and new walkaround/wear status features such as chocks, engine and pitot covers.
- Exterior improvements with revised fuselage lines, texture tuning, and bleed-through fixes.
- Lighting upgrades for beacon and navigation lights visibility.
- System adjustments including fixed RMI needles and knobs, added GPS, refined autopilot heading hold/bug controls, and corrected DME switches and VOR LOC/AUX NAV (DOP) modes for MSFS2024.
- Flight model tweaks for smoother low-speed pitch response, improved ground control during crosswind takeoffs, and balanced fuel flow/drag performance across simulator versions.
- Landing behavior improvements with smoother nose lowering when spoilers are deployed.
This update continues to refine the classic jetliner’s performance and systems while ensuring compatibility and feature parity between MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 users.
V3.2 Changelog
-General rearrangement for the adoption and integration of new technologies (MSFS2024) -Fixed and adjusted CAREER MODE (with SU2 it could generate erroneous behaviors or not be fully compatible) (MSFS2024) -Features have been integrated into the walkaround and wear status, (chocks, engine covers, pitot covers, etc.) (MSFS2024). -Revised exterior model and polishing of some sections to improve the fuselage lines. -Fixed Some bleed through in some parts -Beacon and navigation lights adjusted for increased visibility -Various adjustments and tuning of parts and textures -Fixed RMI needles and Knobs -Added GPS -AUTOPILOT Heading Hold and Heading Bugs can be adjuted and/or activated by an assigned keys. -DME switches adjusted. -Fixed VOR LOC and AUX NAV (DOP) Autopilot modes (MS2024) -The pitch behavior at low speed has been adjusted to reduce its sensitivity. -Adjusted Ground control during the takeoff roll in a crosswind Yaw moment is less pronounced -Fuel flow scalar and drag was adjusted to equalize performance between simulator versions. -Fixed Upon landing, the nose descends more smoothly when the spoiler is deployed.
