MD-11 flying faster than set ?

For me I guess that you have to turn on the Anti Ice, the TAT is -32Regards.

Hey Ibrahim, you may want to read up on the use of Anti Ice, a TAT of -32 does not mean you need to use Anti Ice. Anyway from the screenshots that's the least of his worries.CheersRob

At FL330 this is a normal temperature and anti ice is not required unless there are signs of icing or moisture.

Because I am beta testing groundtextured at lots of places I am just flying and not making paricular fights.Therefor I do not use the fmc, just the autopilot.When the speedindicator is showing knots it is all correct.Only with Mach they are different.I thought it had to be the same even when not using the fmc.

Gerard,Just a hint:If you want to beta test something, test it within the FS environment, using a default FS airplane that suites your speed.In the same way I exclude all add-ons when charlie (=customer) testing the MD11.Hope it helps.Harry

No.. more than likely this a pirated fs9 version of the MD11.Peter Osborn

Gerard,Quite frankly this is not the aircraft for you if you aren't going to read the tutorial flight at the very least and attempt to learn how to fly it correctly. Real aircraft do not function like the Microsoft default aircraft and simpler addons you're probably used to. You need to configure the FMS, pay attention to your weights and maximum altitudes etc. I really have no idea how your engines are showing 0% N1 in this screen shot tho, can you explain that please?

Incredible , you are allmighty ! :( At PMDG they can see that I have an official version.I need good input and not those hollow phrases.If you want to beta test something, test it within the FS environment, using a default FS airplane that suites your speed.Normally that is correct, but at the same time I am modifying land/lakes /sea/autogen and building custom scenery for certain area.Because I want to be able to fly very detailed scenery with the MD-11 I am flying around with the MD-11.if I can fly there witth the MD-11 I can fly eveywhereToday I was flying over Tunesia and yes I did start the aircraft as it should.However I did not intend to fly with the FMS for those short flights, so I use the autopilot.Immediately when returning to the airport I remarked the following;When setting the speed below 220 knots the aircraft remained at 220 knots. The airaft was filled up with fuel about 1/3.If , in a real situation, the FMS in a MD-11 would not function properly it should be possible to use the autopilot I thougt.Here a screenshot.Now I need someone serious who can explain this. ( When the scenery is ready I will upload it and then I will read the whole aircraft manual , ok ? )

This is just because the speed you selected is below the minimum speed for your flap/slat setting, MD-11 will never allow you to decelerate to a speed that is under manouvering speed for the selected flap setting. Increase your flap and you will reach 200kts.... I suggest you to read the manuals if you want to fly this bird, even if you just want to fly around....RegardsStefano

As someone else already said: I think the stall protection system is saving you. You want to fly ay 200 kts but as you can see on the PFD that speed is in the amber (yellow) zone! it is too slow for your current configuration. Your speed has to stay above the amber zone and since you don't do that yourself, the plane does it for you, keeping you at 228. I guess somehow somewhere your systems aren't setup right. Anyway, if you want to continue flying without this apparent difference in speed, set the speed to something like 240. Or add slats or flaps 15: that will probably lower the amber line, bringing 200 kts in the safe zone.EDIT:Darn, geckuz beat me to it... :(
