Does anyone happen to know if this site is safe to download off of. It says it's part of Delta Virtual so I don't know if this site works with DVA or not. Also, has anyone ever tried the download at that site. Thanks

They are not part of DVA. You can download all of the fleet on this site...pilot center>fleet>download.

But do you know if http://www.simairline.net/delta/md88.html has good downloads and most of all, is it safe. I was just looking for a differnet MD88 to try out other than the DVA model.

Well, the Author (SGA) for that md-88 it's the same that the one provided to you by DVA, so probably the only difference is the panel.

Even tough, the panel for FSX is the same as the one provided by DVA, so for FS2004, its a different panel.

It's a big virtual airline, so why it wouldn't be safe?

I wasn't sure if http://www.simairline.net/delta/md88.html was a third party site that wasn't safe.

I don't know about the sound, probably someone from the md-88 staff/another dva'er could help us.

Luke - if you are worried about a site being bad - Don't post it here, and ask people to check it out for you...that's like taking a bite of a spoiled yogurt sandwich and yelling out how disgusting it is, and then asking your friends to take a bite as well and try it.

Try it out on a different machine, other than what you normally use and can be easily reformatted or better, if you have good hardware, put it onto a virtual machine and test it. Virtualbox provides a good solution and has 3D acceleration and USB support integrated and is free.
If it plays well, it's safe and enjoy the show. If it does not, reformat the machine of delete the virtual disk. Simple!
I would still prefer you go with the DVA fleet installer. It has all the critical pieces integrated well and has been tested with hundreds of people here.
I could see that the author has posted some images also (just to check it out) but as is the case with AVSIM lately, they are all missing.
