Captains-I thought I'd let you know that we are currently uploading a final test build for the PMDG MD-11 for FS9 so that our MD-11 Technical Advisory Team can take the airplane for a spin to see if we have nailed down the last few items that were on our plate for resolution.If all goes well, we MIGHT have a release late in the day (zulu) on Monday!If we discover any items that do not pass muster- we'll likely push the release back 24hrs to tie those loose ends up. We'll keep you posted as the day progresses so that you know when/if we make a decision to release or to hold.Also: I'll be making the liveries live for you to download at some point over the next 12-14hrs. We have a few technical tasks to accomplish but then those will be available to you.We appreciate your patience during the past two months while we have been arm-wrestling FS2004. This transition should have gone more smoothly, but like all things in life- it is the unexpected items that do the most havoc to your schedule.We'll have more information for you later in the day!Post Edit: Marcel's question below reminded me that I haven't mentioned this much lately so: The FSX version will be updated to match the FS9 version that releases on Mon/Tue. We anticipate putting the FSX version into the hands of our Tech Team on Monday evening, and expect it to release about 24-48rs later. We elected not to give them both versions at the same time because it confuses everyone involved. (Especially us. :-) )

Marcel-The advanced tutorial is a ways off. We've mentioned that a number of times. It's release is totally and completely unrelated to anything other than the author's available time. ;-)The FSX update will release in very close proximity to the FS9 version. I've mentioned this a number of times- but haven't reiterated that point much lately- so... there you go. ;-)Hope that helps!

Hello Robert,First my best wishes for 2009 to you and your family.Thank you for the updates and we'll look out for the releases.Say also hello and my wishes to Vin, Markus and the team.Best regards,PeterBelgium
