Sky Simulations DC-9 Released

An outfit known as Sky Simulations announced on July 6 that their DC-9 product has been released for FSX. An FS9 version is expected to follow along soon. I don't know a whole lot about Sky Simulations, other than the fact that they seem to have previously released an MD-11 add-on. The MD-11 looks okay, although I am not sure if it would top PMDG's stellar MD-11 product, feature-wise.

That said, the screenshots of the DC-9 do look rather impressive, though. I think it would be a fun plane to fly, very similar to the Captain Sim 727 series. Both the 727 and DC-9 are roughly of the same vintage, technologically speaking. Northwest Delta Airlines still flies a bunch of DC-9's around the USA to this day.

Looks like you can order the DC-9 through simMarket online. Cost is €35.70 if you happen to be in the E.U., or €30.00 for us VAT-exempt shoppers who live everywhere else. In the USA, €30.00 works out to around $42 at current exchange rates. Not a bad deal. I might grab this one next week, just to see if it's any good. Will post a mini-review here if I do.
