High Resolution MD-11 Preview

I just figured it all out!The Large Hadron Collider has fired and has created what some have feared, a hole in the space/time continum. Varying realities have started to blur. What we see is totally diffrent from what some others are seeing.All makes sense now ;-)

I think Craig and Albaro's posts eloquently express the opinion of the vast majority of we PMDG clients.Based on what I've read from the Beta testers (people whose opinions I have a great deal of respect for) I think we're going to see some new FS standards set by this MD-11.

Not all CS produts are sub-par. I really like the CS C-130 which is one of the two planes that get the most time in my simulated fleet - the Level D is the other - and there is nothing else like it out there. Now if they would just fix the flight director...Colin in Portland

Well I don't see a problem with Currys opinions. How do we not know that he might....a) be a rated ATP in the MD11?:( is the maker of quality add on aircraft , better than PMDG?Well since I can't answer those questions, I will take the PMDG staff,and Beta testers words on their product. I will also take into account the quality and support PMDG has put out in the past.Richie WalshP.S. Sarcasm doesn't come through very well in text so maybe I should add there might be some sarcasm included in this post. ;)

Continue thinking the same. The initial, first impression of your information and screenshots, for me and more people, of this addon don

Ummm, did you know the PMDG 747-400 actually DOES simulate the real-time IRS alignment? You can change the settings in the PMDG menu in MSFS to choose between instant, a few shorter times (can't remember the actual numbers) or real-time. You really need to check what you say before making yet more ill-informed posts!Better yet, if you are so sure this is a bad product, don't buy it and stop wasting our time on this forum by posting ill-informed messages.
