Hi GurusSorry for my perhaps stupid question. If have just recieved the MD11 for FS9. Before going through the myriads of manual pages I liked to take a few manual take offs and landings.I have made some brief searches on my subject without any luck.My problem is that every time I have retracted flaps/slats and gear my ailerons lockup, leaving me with rudder only to control the plane.How do I release these aileron locks? :( RegardsHenrik PedersenGreenland

Not a stupid question. There are no aileron locks on the MD11, so now you can start looking at a reasonable explanation for the lack of roll control.I encourage you to try the quick tutorial flight... it is a must do even for experienced pmdg customers just 'cause the MD11 is so different from the Boeings in many ways.

Oh.... Another piece of information I might add:While on final approach, after I have turned the AP OFF, the white box on the FMA stays on (AP OFF).

They turn off as soon as i stop making the keyboard input, and the AP OFF box onthe FMA returns to white.In summury, although the AP is off, the NO AUTOLAND msg flashs everytime I make and keyboard flight control input.ThanksAntonio

Oh, I also have another hand flying (manually flying with no AP) issue: When I try to take off manually (I mean not to engange de AP after 400
