I've never used this particular product, but I have the CLS DC-10, and the model is very good. CLS makes a very good visual model on all their aircraft, but their cockpits can be somewhat lacking. Their FMCs are VERY basic. And they're basically the same for every aircraft they make. But if you want a good visuall model, they're pretty good.

I have both the CLS and the Maddog MD-82. I haven't had a chance to use the Maddog yet as it is quite a learning curve, but for systems I think it is recognized as top of the line. The visual model might not be as good, but if you want as close to an MD-82 as you can get, this would be the way to go. I intend to use the Fleet MD-82 until I have a few flights under my belt and then I'll tackle the Maddog...

FTM is awesome. Learning curve is definitely there - but once you master it - you won't stop using it.

I have the CLS 88 and I live it. If you really want to add to it go to TSS sound studios and purchase the JT8D engine sounds.

So I went ahead and purchase for my collections.
Chad, do you think you could share your TSS sound? Sorry if I`m asking too much.
Thanks guys.

I have the CLS and the MADDOG. I use the CLS as I could never even get the maddog to load. That being said, I'd recommend the CLS.

When I first bought the Maddog, I had that same issue.. but after restoring my system, I started realizing that every time I installed/updated FSX or an addon, I would have to start FSX up before installing more updates / etc.. I finally got my Maddog working, with all of the SP's too!

Thiago, do you mean the MD-11 or MD-88? Because those are two very diffferent MDs. Ones a Stage 2, the other is a Stage 4.

That`s right, I forgot the MD88. Ok, so I start my new promotion on the MD88.
