The Fly the Maddog X is a complex and realistic add-on that requires a lot of knowledge and skill to operate. You will need to read the manuals and tutorials that are included in the LAGO_MADDOG folder or on the Leonardo Softhouse website.

To start a flight with the Maddog X, you can either select a cold and dark state or a ready for takeoff state from the Load Manager. The Load Manager also allows you to set your fuel, payload, weather, failures, options, and preferences.
To power up the aircraft, you will need to connect external power or use the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit). You will also need to align the IRS (Inertial Reference System) and set up your FMC with your flight plan data.
To start the engines, you will need to follow the proper sequence of switches and levers on the overhead panel and throttle quadrant. You will also need to monitor your engine parameters on the EICAS (Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System).
To take off, you will need to set your flaps, trim, V-speeds, and thrust settings according to your weight and runway conditions. You will also need to use your rudder pedals to maintain directional control during takeoff roll.
To fly en route, you will need to use your autopilot and autothrottle modes according to your flight plan and ATC instructions. You will also need to manage your fuel consumption, cruise altitude, speed, and navigation.
To land, you will need to set up your approach in your FMC and tune your NAV radios to your destination airport. You will also need to configure your landing gear, flaps, spoilers, thrust reversers, and brakes according to your approach speed and runway length.
