From Rob in the pinned topic at the top: "The MD11 has been being developed as an FS9 based product, with the intent that an FSX compatible version will also be produced. Specific details of compatibility will have a lot to do with how FSX progresses, how the MD11 progresses, and about 20 other factors that I cannot discuss."

Key word there is "developed".EDIT: I should add that I do agree with you Alex. I do believe it will be a FS9 product.
