June 10, 200916 yr Good day, simmers.I just wanted to drop a positive note and a Thank You to PMDG, for developing this simulated aircraft. I have been drooling over her for the past 4 years, checking the PMDG forum & website on a regular basis. And now I finally have her!!!I am just coming to grips with her, learning her systems etc... And as I am a 100% VC flyer I am floored by the looks of the flightdeck. And I'm looking forward to many enjoyable hours of planning and flying (god knows I'm a geek and so does my wife).But there is a negative surprise in the VC, I think. I dont see even the slightest reflections from the windows !!?? I've checked if I have to check/uncheck something, in the setup etc.. but dont find any options related to window reflections?? The PMDG 737&747 have this so do the LDS 767 and F1 ATR 72-500. And those 4 AC's have been the benchmarks, for other dev's, to compete with. If this is truly a fact, that the PMDG MD-11 does not have reflective windows within the VC, I find that to be a step backwards. But I sure hope I'm wrong and "still havent found what I'm looking for" :( But other than that, Thanks again PMDG for sticking with her and deliver her to the masses.BTW my version is the FS9Golli.
June 11, 200916 yr Commercial Member Golli,We took out the reflective VC windows because the real MD-11 pilots on the test team told us they were unrealistic, there's anti-glare coatings on the windows of real aircraft and what you see from FS reflections aren't very realistic most of the time.Thank you for the compliments on the airplane though, we're glad you like it!
