INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and complex add-on ever developed for Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Fly the Maddog X is available in two versions (sold separately):
- 64bit edition: Fly the Maddog X for Prepar3D v4.1 and v4.2. - 32bit edition: Fly the Maddog X for FSX SP2/XPACK/SE and Prepar3D v3.4.
Fly the Maddog X features advanced, study level aircraft systems that cannot be matched by any standard aircraft; it can be flown by following the operations manual of the real aircraft. We even encourage you to use such documentation to experience the level of detail that has been accomplished with this aircraft. Fly the Maddog X also features the undocumented intriguing details that real pilots experience when flying the real aircraft. The documentation is divided in three parts:
• User Manual: describes the load manager and setup of the aircraft, built in route and fuel planner, failures management.
• Operations Manual: the O.M. is structured as the real MD-82 Operations Manual and it is divided in two volumes: Volume 1 describes the aircraft cockpit and systems; Volume 2 illustrates the normal and emergency procedures, aircraft performances and checklists.
• Quick Guide (this document): describes interaction with the virtual cockpit and the other 2D windows, special commands, tip and tricks for an easy and smooth transition to this marvelous add-on.

INTERACTING WITH THE COCKPIT Fly the Maddog X cockpit has been designed to be used with a three buttons wheel mouse. However, depending on the add-ons installed, the middle button could not be available and can be replaced by pressing and holding the TAB key. All the switches, knobs and lever can be moved using the mouse wheel or left/right buttons. There are several hot spots and non-standard actions that can be performed on the virtual cockpit:
- Moving the wheel while pressing the middle button (or the TAB key) will activate the acceleration function for faster increment or decrement of the setting value.
- Right click on the MECH CALL button will open the GROUND SERVICES panel.
- Right click on the ATT CALL button will open the CREW COMM panel. - On ground, positioning the mouse cursor over the FIRE BELL OFF
button, will enable to activate the LOOP A TEST button with a left click, and the LOOP B TEST button with a right click.
- In flight, both the landing light switches and nose light switch can be moved together using the mouse wheel over the nose light switch.
- Left click on the PFD/ND/FMS to open the zoomed/2d panel. - Right click on the ND to change mode, use the wheel to change the
range. - Usage of the mouse for setting the ASI bugs is described below. - Press and hold the TAB key to write on the FMS with the keyboard or to
replace the function of the mouse middle button if not available. STANDARD COMMANDS/ACTIONS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR FROM STOCK SIM The following commands have a different behavior or trigger some secondary effect: AUTOPILOT ON/OFF (Z). This command is used solely to disengage the autopilot; pressing again the key will switch off the red AP warning light in the FMA and the AP aural. The autopilot must be engaged by clicking on the AP switch of the guidance. AUTOTHROTTLE ARM (SHIFT+R). This command is used solely to disengage the auto throttle; pressing again the key will than switch off the red AT warning light in the FMA. The auto throttle must be engaged clicking on the AT switch on the flight guidance. PARKING BRAKE TOGGLE (CTRL+.). The key assigned to this function is used in flight to mute the gear horn alarm.

THROTTLE CUT & INC/DEC (F1, F2 and F3). These keys are active also with the auto throttle engaged and can be used to temporary override the AT or to help the automatism to capture a speed (this technique is largely used by real MD pilots which assists the auto throttle by manually moving the throttle levers even when the AT is engaged). BARO SETTING (B). After takeoff, when climbing to an armed level above the transition level (or above FL180), pressing B will set the standard 1013 hPa (or 29.92 inches) on the CM1/CM2 and STBY altimeters baro settings. During descent for the approach, when descending to an armed altitude below the transion altitude (or below FL180), pressing B will set the CM1/CM2 and STBY altimeters baro settings to the local QNH. MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION (CTRL+G). It does was it is supposed to do… actually it’s the only way to manually extend the landing gear, in case of a landing gear or hydraulic failure. TRIM & CONTROL SURFACES. Moving the trim or the control surfaces with the AP on will disengage the autopilot (for the control surfaces, this feature can be disabled from the setup page of load manager). THROTTLE LEVER. It is active even when AT is ON in SPD SEL and the FMA shows LOW LIM. In this case, if the current speed is above 10kt of the target speed, the throttle can be set at IDLE STOP with the lever, and the AT servos will not kick back until the target speed has been reached.

ICING ICE FOD Ice accumulation is possible also on ground, and the ice FOD detector works! When ice conditions are detected or suspected on ground, it is mandatory to perform a Ground deice operation (see Ground Communication). The Ground deice operation will protect the airframe from icing on ground and eliminate accumulated ice after an ice FOD alarm. If the ICE FOD ALERT comes ON on ground, it is advisable to deice the aircraft or there could be an engine failure after takeoff due to ice FOD. After deicing the annunciation can be turned off by resetting the ice FOD system. ICING IN FLIGHT Icing in flight can lead to engine flame out if the anti ices are not used. When in presence of Severe icing conditions, the ice accumulation rate could be too high for the various anti ice systems to operate properly. Flying too long in severe icing condition can cause an engine flame out even if the engine anti ice is ON. Icing can also affect the PITOT when PITOT heater is off, or the static ports.
DIGITAL FLIGHT DATA RECORDER Maddog X implements a working DFDR (see O.M., Vol1, Cap1 for more details). In order to avoid performance issues (even if the impact of DFDR on frame rate is very low) it will only activate if the pilot makes two manual data entries on ground. These entries are made also in real life and are used to store in the memory the flight data (flight, day, month and leg) and aircraft weight and balan
The correct procedure to activate the DFDR is the following:
1) Move the flight recorder switch located in the aft overhead to the GND TEST position, and note that the FLT RECORED OFF message is removed from the annunciator panel.
2) Select the correct day, month, flight number and leg in the flight recorder (leg must not be 0) and push the INSERT button.
3) Select the take off weight and CG and 000 in the last 3 entries; press again the INSERT key.
4) Move back the flight recorder switch in the aft overhead to the NORM position, the message FLT RECORDER OFF will reappear in the annunciator panel.

These steps are normally performed during the cockpit preparation (the second entry it is normally made during taxiing) when engines are off and this is the reason why it is necessary to move the switch to activate the DFDR; the flight recorder will automatically activate when either fuel shutoff lever is opened or when the parking brakes are released. The DFDR will record relevant events and aircraft data in a file that will be saved in the <your documents>Maddog X Files\DFDR folder. The file name will be created from the actual flight number and date with extension .txt. The file is structured in a way that makes it easy to load it in a worksheet application like Microsoft Excel or it can be viewed with any text editor.
WX RADAR / ACARS Weather radar is compatible with Hi-Fi Active Sky and REX Advantage weather radar engines. The preferred wx engine can be selected from the Setup page of Load Manager. Note that only the test functionality is available if none of the two add-ons are installed in the SIM. ACARS functionality requires Hi-Fi Active Sky to be installed and running.
FS2Crew If FS2Crew for Fly the Maddog X is installed, extra 2D panels are presents to control the FS2Crew functions. Refer to the FS2Crew documentation / website for how to use this add-on. FS2Crew can be enabled/disabled from the FS2Crew page of the Load Manager.
FMS DATABASE The setup program will install by default version 1709 of the FMS database and the procedures files. To update the database and the procedure files to a newer version visit Navigraph website: www.navigraph.com
