I just sent it via email. Keep a look out. I'm worried the .cfg filter will get flagged as spam or malware. If you don't get it, let me know and I'll zip it and re-send.

Engine starting woes. I myself just upgraded to the Maddog MD80 and have a few engine anomalies myself. For the MADDOG, some of the default keyboard assignments do not work. (CTRL E to start!) You have to read the manuals and (in the case of MADDOG), wouldn't hurt to run through the tutorial a couple times. If you leave the starter engagaed, that will cause an engine shutdown. Overspeeding your engines on takeoff, will overheat them. You won't get an aural alarm, but on takeoff roll, be prepared for one or more shutdowns and an aborted T.O. Not have the proper "switchology" can (sneaky) have some unintended consequences for a novice pilot. I hope I can answer a few MADDOG questions, I've been on a quick (sometimes frustrating) learning curve, but I have it smoothed out.
BTW, now that I have maddog somewhat figured out, I LOVE IT!! It makes you prepare, and go through your checklists etc.
