October 31, 200916 yr Hello,I'm using FSX PMDG MD11 FS2crew but after some hours of flying and monitoring i found a small problem.Directly after take off, when gear slected up, the FO switch off all landing lights. That from the nose gear i can understand but also the Landing lights and RWY turnoff lights.These should be on untill reaching 10.000FT.I searched in oure AOM and procedure manual of the MD11 (Martinair) but they also discribe to let those lights on untill 10.000ftIs there a bug our is this normal and programmed?Regards Peter

October 31, 200916 yr This post has got to be in the wrong area but as I can not find where I can start a new enquiry I have posted here. I am currently flying the PMDG MD11. I have mastered all the setup and fmc loading including SID's and STAR's. My problem comes on touchdown. F2 should engage Reverse Thrust. However it doesn't and the aircraft proceeds to run off the end of the runway. FSx Settings does not list the Reverse Thrust in its control settings so I can not assign it. There has got to be an answer to this. As you will appreciate if after a 4 hour flight and a perfect approach and landing you run off the runway frustration soon sets in.If this post gets redirected by staff then could you inform me where I can find it.
