Does it contain the latest updates and if not, are they available? I am buying it for Christmas.

Dave, please sign with your full name in this forum.Yes, I believe the CD was released after the current update. Any future updates can be downloaded from the pmdg web site. Hope you enjoy her, she is a beautiful simulation.

Thanks Dan, I altered my signature as requested. I already own the MD-11 for FS9 and I cannot live without the FSX version because I love it so much. ;)My inspiration is the 'Martinair DVD' and the flight from Schipol to Palma and back. If any owners haven't got this one, I urge you to get it, it's one of the best!

Register your product with your CD key at aerosoft.com in the FAQ section on the lower left. This will allow you knowledge base access with links to any patches Aerosoft might have.

I have the CD version of the MD11, bought about 2 months ago.I can confirm it has the lastest version included.
