i downloaded the MD-11 from Mike Stone's website. can someone suggest the best freeware panel / sounds for it and the site to download it from.

Best MD-11 panel? Until Bill Grabowski finishes his, Alain Capt's is the best.http://www.acsoft.ch/Produits/MS_Flight_Si...1/acs-md11.htmlDownload link is near the bottom of the page. The package is 18MB total, but for the panel it's worth the download.For sounds, You can try using Aaron Swindle's or Mike Hambly's DC-10 soundpack. The engines from the DC-10 and MD-11 (the GE engines at least) are of the same family, so they'd sound pretty similar.
