March 21, 201016 yr HelloThe weekend gave me a little time to go deeper into the secrets of the MD-11. However, a couple of questions were raised (at least for the moment):1. I found the Alternate Gear Extension lever in the VC, but where is the Center Gear Extension Handle hidden?2. In the MD11 key assignment i can map keys to "Raise/Stow AltExt Lever" and "Pull Ctr Gear Ext Handle". Why do i neeed the "Initiate Alt Ext Sequence" key?3. (Off topic) I try to simulate a CABIN ALTITUTE failure (see EP.10.4). Is this possible with the failure system? I only found the CPC failure, but this is not was i want.Thanks in advance. M. Wiendl
March 22, 201016 yr Commercial Member Michael,1.:The centre gear handle is located behind the F/O seat on the right side, on the floor. It has a plate covering the handle, which must be removed first.2.:Sorry can't answer that. I never use the keys for this but use the VC clickspots with my TrackIR.3.:I don't have the failures in front of me right now, but no I don't think you can just produce a "leak" in the wall and have the cabin alt climb. You have to fail packs and other air system stuff to do it.Markus Markus Burkhard

March 24, 201016 yr Which should be technical impossible because of differential pressure and the doors moving inward first. ;)Yes, but in FSX it's the only way to get the air out of the plane and to bring on some red lights and accoustic warnings in the cockpit -> pure action! :)Mathias Sutter
