Manual please. Thank You.

Like the aircraft itself, that'll be released when it's ready.http://www.md-11.org/welcome.html is well worth a look in the meantime and helped me a lot in terms of getting ready for the beta. Much of what you read on the site linked to will be useful to you in terms of general prep work, and the manual elaborates significantly on the content I've linked to above.

Hi Rob, thanks for the update. We certainly appreciate the news of forward progress, and that it'll be ready when it's ready. Just look at the slippage of major real world airliner deliveries (not just the A380 and 787 either!)I am looking forward to accessing the manuals before release so that I can ge ready for my own 'type rating' the M11 is so different from the Boeings that we're used to, and strangely similar to the Airbii (that Honeywell suite I'm guessing)BTW, my father in law worked on the original EICAS with GE and MDD back in the late 70's/early 80's. Spent a lot of time in the sim in Long Beach. It was a 3 color crt then, but a first step.So does your employer let you use that new type rating? :)Tim

Update for you guys - beta 4 is out as of tonight.One bit of new feature implementation I'm betting some will like - the MCDU will now directly load FS flight plans natively without the need for FSBuild or anything like that to convert them. :D

[Chaos81 110]

That will come in handy. :)

So, Ryan... to put it one way, you could say that the light at the end of the tunnel is much bigger (closer) now?

[Guest pilot-joey]

And that screenshot sharing etc. is allowed now? :(

[Guest 413X3]

very cool, thanks! Is it an automatic process, such as when you load the flight plan into fs, does the md-11 automatically pick that up? i would rather it not, because i really enjoy plugging in everything into the fmc even if i load the flight plan into fs
