MD-81 Product Support

We have prepared this page to provide you with convenient, one-stop support for your MD-81 aircraft. All of the official Jet City Aircraft updates, documentation, add-ons, and repaints can be found right here.

If you need additional support for this product, please go to our Contact Us page by selecting the icon in the navigation bar at the top of this page.

Since we allow third party repainting of our aircraft, it is likely that you may also find additional MD-81 repaints at free flight simulation file libraries such as AVSIM. Please remember that those files are not supported by Jet City Aircraft, so any issues or questions you may have about them need to be addressed with the author of those files, not us.



Documentation, Manuals and Checklists

MD-80 and MD-90 Readme File: This is the same file that is included with the MD-81 download or CD. Please read this short document completely before installing or flying the aircraft. You can view the file online in Adobe Acrobat PDF format by clicking here.

How To Fly the MD-81: This document contains a brief tutorial on flying the airplane, and includes aircraft limitations, speed charts, and cockpit checklists as well. You can view the file online in Adobe Acrobat PDF format by clicking here.



Product Compatibility Files

Flight Simulator 2004 users: This aircraft is designed and optimized for use within Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight and does not require any modifications.

Flight Simulator 2002 users: The MD-81 performs quite well within this simulator and features all the same bells and whistles as it does in FS2004. No patches or updates are needed to use this plane in FS2002.



Repainting This Aircraft / Third Party Repaints

Repainter Pack: We welcome you to repaint our MD-80 aircraft! You can download our Repainter Pack which includes our Repaint Policy, a set of blank aircraft textures, layered PSD files, a sample text file to include with your repainted textures should you upload them, and some tips to help you through the whole process. The Repainter Pack contains everything you need to paint any of the standard-length MD-80 aircraft, including the MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, and MD-88.



Official Jet City Aircraft Repaints

We have chosen to provide our aircraft repaints as individual downloads rather than include them in the main aircraft package. In addition to reducing the size of the package download, this also provides you with the freedom to download only the ones you want, when you want. Furthermore, it allows us to easily add additional repaints at any time, too, so we can continue to support the product well after it's release.

To improve page loading time, and to help you identify the newest additions, we have sorted our repaints by upload date. Simply click on the links below and a new window will appear allowing you to view the repaints. You can view a screenshot of each aircraft by clicking on the airline logos. To download any of the repaints for the MD-81, simply click on the download links. Installation instructions are included with each repaint to assist you.
