*******!!!! Mike Stone keeps outdoing himself every time!!!!Folks! If you have not yet gotten Mike's newly released MD-11 - Don't hurry, RUN!!!!!!! This is a beautiful model, easy on the frames, and relatively well behaved. I think it needs a bit of tweaking in the flight model department since it takes off like a rocket and can stop in an aircraft carrier deck when reversers are applied, but other than that, it behaves well while taxiing and in flight.The release brings 3 paint jobs: Martinar, Delta NOC, and Swissair and all 3 schemes are very well made. I hope to see this beauty painted in the KLM, Delta Olympic Flame, and JAL liveries. I think that the leading edges and flap structures need some texturing, but knowing how fast everybody works in this hobby, I'm sure we'll see some coming up soon.This one's a keeper folks - Forget the CSI model!!!!!! Sincerely,Dennis D. Mullert

"...Forget the CSI model!!!!!!"I don't think so.Bill

"Forget the CSI model!!!!!!"Really? THe CSi model is STILL the most accurate - by far.

I'm with Bill on this one. Although I don't like the lights and the FDE could do with some tweaking the model is superb.Keep up the great work on the panel Bill.Regards,Adam Nardone

Concurring with Bill here...From left to right, real MD-11, CSI MD-11, Mike Stone MD-11http://thescorned.homestead.com/files/noser3.gif http://thescorned.homestead.com/files/noser2.gif http://thescorned.homestead.com/files/noser.gifCSI got it right the first time. Theirs is still an excellent model, only thing wrong with it (not the author's fault) is the balloon lights you get in FS2002.Let's not compare the flight dynamics. That is easily fixed, just use CSI's!EDIT: Still though, I'd like to thank Mike Stone for creating the first GMAX MD-11 meant for end users (not for AI).

Mike this is fantastic. Cheers mate you are a star. Made my day !!
