HJG MD80/90 PANELS INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES - SECTION # 1
UPDATED: April 14th 2014
HJG MD80/90 PROJECT INFORMATION
We are grateful to Nicholas BOTAMER for modeling the MD80/90 series of aircraft for HJG.
We are additionally grateful to Mike MONCE, and Benoit PLAMONDON for their work on this MD80/90 project to in respect of FDE and audio development for this project.
THANK YOU EVERYONE !
The HJG MD80/90 project is comprised of each of the following elements ....
- Aircraft Base Pack files
- Aircraft Panels (imported - not produced by HJG authors)
- Aircraft Textures
- Smoke Effects (use DC9 FX)
- Soundpack/s
First and foremost it is important to appreciate that there is no such thing as just a standard MD80/90 TYPE aircraft.
MD80/90 type aircraft differ principally in terms of their size, engine power/thrust ratings, and their certified weights.
Most previously released MD80/90 simulations focus on just 1 specific and aircraft/engine/weight configuration for this family of aircraft.
The variation offered by HJG represents all of the entire MD80/90 family (plus a couple of very rare examples too) .... in terms of each the most major engine types and weight configurations which apply to these aircraft !
These notes will constantly be revised and updated in the future as is determined necessary.
1. MD80/90 AIRCRAFT BASE PACKS
WHAT MODELS ARE REPRESENTED/AVAILABLE AND WHAT's DIFFERENT ABOUT EACH ONE ?
9 MD80/90 aircraft base packs are provided.
Each aircraft base pack is aircraft type, powerplant, and weight specific as follows ....
MD81 Aircraft Base Pack .... P&W JT8D-209 (18,500 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 143.000 LBS)
MD82 Aircraft Base Pack .... P&W JT8D-217A/C (20,000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 149.500 LBS)
MD82-SF Aircraft Base Pack .... P&W JT8D-217A/C (20,000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 150.500 LBS "cargo configuration")
MD83 Aircraft Base Pack .... P&W JT8D-219 (21,000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 160.000 LBS)
MD83-SF Aircraft Base Pack .... P&W JT8D-219 (21,000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 161.000 LBS "cargo configuration")
MD87 Aircraft Base Pack .... P&W JT8D-217C (20,000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 140.000 LBS)
MD87ER Aircraft Base Pack .... P&W JT8D-217C (20,000 LBS thrust e/a/ MGTOW 149.000 LBS)
MD88 Aircraft Base Pack .... P&W JT8D-219 (21,000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 149.500 LBS)
MD90-30 Aircraft Base Pack .... IAE V2500-D5 (25.000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 156.000 LBS)
MD90-30ER Aircraft Base Pack .... IAE V2528-D5 (28.000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 160.500 LBS)
MD90-30IGW Aircraft Base Pack .... IAE V2528-D5 (28.000 LBS thrust e/a / MGTOW 168.000 LBS)
PLEASE NOTE .... MD90 ER/IGW versions are extremly rare, but, do existe none-the-less.
Appropriate performance and load variations have been incorporated into the FDE (CFG file) for each HJG MD80/90 type/series aircraft .... in accordance with known aircraft specifications and performances whilst also bearing in mind certain FS limitations !
2 MD80 models are included inside each of the MD81/82/83 aircraft base pack files .... the same 2 models being duplicated into each of these 3 base packs. Both models are different .... in that these represent both the early DC9 type and later/modified chisel shaped rear fuselage tail cone aircraft versions.
1 only MD87 model is included inside this particular aircraft base pack file .... this particular aircraft is shorter than other MD80/90 aircraft versions and features the later/modified chisel shaped tail fin and rear fuselage tail cone and redesigned tailfin.
1 only MD88 model is included inside this particular aircraft base pack file .... this particular aircraft features the longer MD81/82/83 type fuselage with later/modified chisel shaped rear fuselage tail cone.
1 only MD90-30 model is included inside each of the MD90/ER/IGW aircraft base pack files .... this particular aircraft features a longer fuselage than MD81/82/83/88 aircraft versions, larger engines, and the later/modified chisel shaped rear fuselage tail cone and redesigned MD87 type tailfin.
PLEASE NOTE .... MD84/85/86/89 aircraft designations "DO NOT" exist !
For further clarification of these aircraft model/base pack models and their most distinguishing features then please refer to the illustrations and descriptions below
MODEL DESCRIPTIONS
WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT EACH MODEL ?

All HJG MD80/90 Aircraft Base Pack files must be installed inside the FS9/FS2004 "AIRCRAFT" folder .... in accordance with accompanying installation instructions.
2. PANELS
WHAT PANELS ARE AVAILABLE AND WHICH ONE SHOULD BE USED WITH EACH MD80/90 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK ?
No specificly HJG engineered MD80/90 panels are currently abailable or planned in the future.
We have therefore imported 4 panel options all of which have been tested and demonstrated to work very well with each of the HJG aircraft models, FDE, and the new AEROMUSICA MD80 soundpack. The panel panel options provided by HJG are as follows ....
MD80 PANEL by Paul GOLDING & Tom WOODS (known as the "Golding White" panel) .... featuring a fully analogue type instrument configuration with an HUD..
MD80 PANEL by Paul GOLDING & Leon SEALE (known as the "Golding Red" panel) .... featuring a fully analogue type instrument configuration.updated..
MD80 (semi-EFIS) PANEL by Marco SPADA & Paul GOLDING (known as the "Spada" panel) .... featuring a semi-EFIS type instrument configuration.
B717-200/MD80 (EFIS) PANEL by Steve SOUTHEY, Glen COPELAND, Ken MITCHELL, and Richard PROBST (known as the "Southey" panel) .... featuring an EFIS type instrument configuration.
We are extremly grateful to Paul GOLDING, Marco SPADA, and Steve SOUTHEY for their kind "consen"t .... allowing HJG to host .... and possibly modifiy (in the future) .... each of these 4 panel versions. Although these panels have been available elsewhere and with various seperate updates .... each version of these panels has been updated, by us, to include "all of the necessary files" along with some very minor side views edits where necessary. In some cases there are colour mismatches between the side view and main panel BMP files included, but, this does not detract from the functionality and enjoyment of these panels .... and .... will (hopefully) be properly addressed in the future and subject to further modication work.
Realworld MD80/90 aircraft feature a variation of panel/instrument standards. These vary according to aircraft producion/delivery periods and airline/operator preferences .... as well as modifications/upgrades which have been applied to these aircraft subsequent to their original delivery in the case of some early production aircraft versions.
The following aircraft type/panel configurations are recommended .... but .... any of these 4 panels function perfectly well (provided they are installed precisely as directed) with any of the MD80/MD90 aircraft base pack versions provided by HJG.
MD81 - use either the MD80 (white) PANEL by Paul GOLDING & Tom WOODS .... or .... the MD80 (red) PANEL by Paul GOLDING & Leon SEALE
MD82 - use either the MD80 (red) PANEL by Paul GOLDING & Leon SEALE .... or .... the MD80 (semi-EFIS) by Marco SPADA & Paul GOLDING
MD82-SF - use either the MD80 (red) PANEL by Paul GOLDING & Leon SEALE .... or .... the MD80 (semi-EFIS) by Marco SPADA & Paul GOLDING .... or .... use B717-200/MD80 (EFIS) PANEL by Steve by Steve SOUTHEY, Glen COPELAND, Ken MITCHELL, and Richard PROBST
MD83 - use either MD80 (red) PANEL by Paul GOLDING & Leon SEALE .... or .... the MD80 (semi-EFIS) PANEL by Marco SPADA & Paul GOLDING
MD83-SF - use either the MD80 (red) PANEL by Paul GOLDING & Leon SEALE .... or .... the MD80 (semi-EFIS) by Marco SPADA & Paul GOLDING .... or .... use B717-200/MD80 (EFIS) PANEL by Steve by Steve SOUTHEY, Glen COPELAND, Ken MITCHELL, and Richard PROBST
MD87 - use B717-200/MD80 (EFIS) PANEL by Steve by Steve SOUTHEY, Glen COPELAND, Ken MITCHELL, and Richard PROBST .... or .... the MD80 (semi-EFIS) PANEL by Marco SPADA & Paul GOLDING
MD88 - use MD80 (semi-EFIS) PANEL by Marco SPADA & Paul GOLDING .... or .... B717-200/MD*) PANEL by Steve SOUTHEY, Glen COPELAND, Ken MITCHELL, and Richard PROBST
MD90-30 - use B717-200/MD80 PANEL by Steve SOUTHEY, Glen COPELAND, Ken MITCHELL, and Richard PROBST .... or .... the MD80 (semi-EFIS) PANEL by Marco SPADA & Paul GOLDING
All HJG supplied MD80 panels must be installed inside the "HJG MD80/90 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK" folders (to replace the MSFS default Panel assignment) .... strictly in accordance with accompanying installation instructions. PLEASE NOTE .... do not circumvent the recommended panel/gauges/modules installation procedures or problems "WILL" result
3. TEXTURES
WHAT TEXTURES CAN BE USED WITH EACH MD80/90 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK MODEL AND HOW SHOULD EACH FILE BE NAMED/SUPPLIED ?
All HJG MD81/82/83/88 models support the same textures. The only differences between some of these models is the shape of their rare fuselage tail cones, but, this detail does not affect texture BMP names. For e.g .... any MD81 texture will fit any of the MD82/83/88 aircraft base pack models without any problems whatsoever..
The MD87 model will support textures for this particular aircraft type only. There is 1 only model version supplied for this particular aircraft type
The MD90 model will support textures for this particular aircraft type only. There is 1 only model version supplied for this particular aircraft type Those member/guest painter whom supply their work through Mark need not worry about these conventions..
"PUBLIC VERSION" PSD files "are available" for HJG MD81/82/83/87/88 aircraft versions (only) and may be made available upon communication with HJG management .... subject to certain conditions being first being met and prior to supply.
All HJG supplied MD80 textures must be installed inside the "MD80/90 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK" folders .... in accordance with accompanying installation instructions.
4. SOUNDPACKS
WHAT SOUNDPACKS ARE AVAILABLE AND WHICH ONE SHOULD BE USED WITH EACH MD80/90 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK ?
At this time HJG offer 1 only AEROMUSICA MD80/90 aircraft type soundpack.
This particular soundpack represents the P&W JT8D-209/217/219 engine version and is intended for use with MD81/82/83/87/88 aircraft versions.
An additional AEROMUSICA soundpack is planned .... featuring the later V2500 type engine sounds but is not yet currently available.
We recommend the following MD80/90 aircraft type soundpack assignments ....
MD81 BASE PACK .... use .... P&W JT8D 217 MD80 SOUNDPACK
MD82 BASE PACK .... use .... P&W JT8D 217 MD80 SOUNDPACK
MD82-SF BASE PACK .... use .... P&W JT8D 217 MD80 SOUNDPACK

MD87 ER BASE PACK .... use .... P&W JT8D 217 MD80 SOUNDPACK
MD88 BASE PACK .... use .... P&W JT8D 217 MD80 SOUNDPACK
MD90-30 BASE PACK .... use .... IAE V2500 MD90 SOUNDPACK
MD90-30 ER BASE PACK .... use .... IAE V2500 MD90 SOUNDPACK
MD90-30 IGW BASE PACK .... use .... IAE V2500 MD90 SOUNDPACK
PLEASE NOTE .... the currently available "P&W JT8D-217 MD80" soundpack also works fine (as a "temporary assignment") with HJG B717-200 models, FDE, as well as each of the above recommended panel versions. Other MD80/90 audio options are available from both AVSIM.COM and FLIGHTSIM.COM, but, are not guaranteed to function properly with HJG supplied FDE, aircraft models, and panels.
All HJG supplied AEROMUSICA MD80 and MD90 soundpacks must be installed inside the "HJG MD80/90 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK" folders (to replace the MSFS default Sound assignment) .... in accordance with accompanying installation instructions.
5. SMOKE EFFECTS & OTHER DETAILS
WHAT SMOKE EFFECTS ARE AVAILABLE OR SHOULD BE USED WITH EACH MD80/90 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK ?
All HJG MD80/90 aircraft base pack files are configured to use the standard HJG DC9 smoke effects files.
These smoke effects files are currently available from the AIRCRAFT EFFECTS downloads section on the HJG website.
PLEASE NOTE .... using either of the 4 above recommended MD80/90 panel options these smoke effects must be manually toggled "ON/OFF" using the keyboard "I" command. Unlike is the case with all HJG specific aircraft panels these smoke effects "do not" work automatically.
All HJG supplied DC9/MD80 smoke effects must be installed inside the FS9/FS2004 "EFFECTS" folder .... in accordance with accompanying installation instructions.
HJG DC9/MD80 smoke effects are available from the "AIRCRAFT EFFECTS" section of the HJG downloads page.
