September 25, 200916 yr S-I-G-H...different flight, same result. It's almost impossible (it seems) for me to coordinate all the button pushes and STILL be able to follow the FD bars on takeoff. Once again I was busy trying to push the correct button at the correct time and got behind the FD bars. I had to push forward very hard to gain speed and the AP disconnected.I'm really beginning to think the recommended trim ("STAB") setting, given by the CDU, is BS...much too nose up. I'm going to alter that and try again.Thanks Kevin...at this point I'm open to anything.It only took 3 take-offs, when I originally aquired the MD-11, to get it "error free". I don't know what the update did but it ain't helping me! :(Hi Victor,More detailed help should be on the way.I have just been carefully reading the first tutorial and found this in the introduction:'After you have completed this flight youʼll be able to handle the MD-11 with all its systems on normal operations with thesame workflows used on the real aircraft checked using the very same flight checklists. During cockpit preparation someless critical flow items - in other words system checking for systems which are good for flight already - will be skipped so asto not confuse you with too many details for this first flight. All skipped items will of course be dealt with in the second moreadvanced tutorial flight'As for me at present I am still working on the basics!David David Pedder
