PMDG MD-11 Progress Update!

[Guest Jake Lee]

Robert, You have no idea how happy I am to hear that the MD-11 manual will be released before the product is. I am very much looking forward to my UPS delivery flight, KLGB-KSDF. It's going to be great to know everything I can about the PMDG MD-11 before I can take it in the air. Woohoo!- Jake

And it's not like you can only fly current airlines with the MD-11...the beauty of FS is that it's a sandbox.

>And it's not like you can only fly current airlines with the>MD-11...the beauty of FS is that it's a sandbox. True. Zurich-LAX sounds nice. Or re-creating Zurich-Sao Paulo-Buenos Aires with Swiss -- I have the JustPlanes DVD and it looks like a great route. *Tossing it in the DVD player with a beer, looking forward to the day when I can give a detailed presentation.*- Jake

This is really great news thanks. I can't wait to fly the MD11F into my home airport of East Midlands. With the manual release will there be a tutorial for how to fly the bird? I think your previous manuals are very thorough but I really like to have a tutuorial to follow when I first get to fly a new plane. Andy S
