MD-11 added to TOPCAT

Featured Replies

As the titlle says, the new version was released 2 days ago and the MD-11 performance data is included now. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.Karsten

Cool thanks for that...I am sure many will be pleased by that...Andrew

Yep, unfortunately it only has performance info for the GE powered aircraft.

A great addition for this beautiful PMDG masterpiece! :(yahavl

I don't think that is a major problem, the data only being for the GE variant. You can just add or subtract a little performance factor if necessary... I cannot remember if the PW variant is less or more powerful than the GE variant...Andrew

Maybe the PW variant will be added at a later date.How about the weight data for the MD11? I experienced some CG issues recently when trying to use TOPCAT with the DA Fokker or PMDG 737. The MAC and trim values were off by a noticable amount (i.e. the FMC-calculated values were different than the ones from TOPCAT).Yesterday I was doing an Air Berlin flight to PMI and although the aircraft was not that full (ca. 75% pax, 40% cargo, 10 tons fuel), it took forever to get to FL350. Must have been between 20 to 30 minutes.But then, maybe I am just imagining things.

PW is more powerful.Rob

Cheers Rob...So you could leave the data as it is, giving you a safety margin... :(Andrew

Looks like with the newest version (v2.57) they have solved most of the trimming (MAC) issues. Works fine now for me.BrgdsMarc
