Hi, Thanks for the reply on that, very handy to know.Thank YouCapt. Eric Wade Joneswww.usairwaysva.orghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/1900driver.jpg

>>The "ER" version is a retro fittable mod to all MD-11s.>>Bryan Gandall>Yes that's right. It is also "reversable" in that you can take the extra fuel tank OUT of an -ER. I think Finnair did that on one of their MD-11's.RhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT

Bill-HAHAHAH...You keep this up we'll need a lawyer just to approve our forum posts. :-p

Bill-No. The loose ends have nothing to do with the airplane.

They said that the manuals mimic real-life MD-11 pilot's documentation so I see no reason why fixing bugs would have any connection with the contents of the manuals.Michael J.http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9320/apollo17vf7.jpg

aah. The excitement has got to me!It now Friday evening, 21pm UK time, still waiting for the manuals to appear. I've been checking all day, keen as ever.btw, I wonder will PrecisionManuals website and services be able to cope when they announce its available for download on xx day at xx oclock, and several thousand people try to download it?###Mb times #,### downloaders is gonna be alot of bandwidth!

So have at least half a point as far as the downloads that will go on when they do.Second I like the fact I am not the only one watching the forum and website like a hawk dude,sometimes a look at th esite 3 or 4 times a day. Although it is due mainly since I have a lot of time to kill.Then I will drooling, reading and learning.:-bla Good luck PMDG!Thank YouCapt.
