I think it would be totally awesome if PMDG made a Lockheed L-1011 model. I have been fascinated by it ever since I saw it, I went out and got a FSX model and it sucked.The modelBut I was thinking, PMDG is renowned for it's quality and accuracy, so it would be an amazing thing if they made a model for it, I can already picture the beautiful cockpit, and the amazing jet model, complete with a spinning fan inside the S-Duct engine, fly by wire technology, the Direct Life Control system (no elevator to pitch the plane! it uses the spoilers instead) and the first Cat IIIb autroland system. It would be epic, of course they could modernize it, you know, with computers and such, but I would be just as impressed with the old fashioned analog gagues. CockpitThe plane to modelThanks for the discussion and I look forward to your comments

I have always hoped for a genuine L-1011 for FSX. Although I would LOVE PMDG to do it, I highly doubt they will...but we can dream.

Wouldn't that be something.http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6830409&nseq=1http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6389056&nseq=6http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6175892&nseq=7:wub:

I'd buy it.

The thing is, where can they get acess to a l-1011

I think its unlikely PMDG would make an aircraft of this type.PMDG from my prespective are making modern airliners that Robert use to fly, hence fourth he knows "what is right, and what is wrong." Guys, on another note, stop requesting stuff.. the 737 isn't even out yet! :(

Besides, PMDG are more of a Newer Generation developer rather than the steam gauges. Captain Sim would be a good one possibly do it, after the 737-100/-200.

Most beautiful airliner ever made imo. Can't see it being high on the PMDG priority list however...seems like it'd be more up Captain sim's street. I use the Aerosim model with some ISG gauges installed and it gives me a pretty nice usable L1011 for now.

beutiful bird.

freeskyproject (the new Posky) is making one I believe (although it wont have the features like PMDG would make them, it would be a beautiful model)http://www.freeskyproject.com/Cheers!

Not for FSX, and probably no chance of a VC. I wouldn't expect anything less from the people at posky... so much potential, it's disappointing they always go halfway.

Now, that's a neat idea. I remember as a kid taking one of those from LAX to EWR. Man those were short, squat and wide in the cabin.

Agreed, IMO it's too bad that posky hasn't embraced VC modeling more fully. Certainly it's their right since all the effort is theirs; I'm just always hopeful we'll see more VC friendly aircraft out of that group in the future. Their 777 certainly shows that the capabilities are there. Of course, adding a VC is a whole additional modeling challenge in itself, and it's easy to see posky's frustration with their forum posters who seem to think adding a VC is a quick-fix kind of process.

I think MD10 is the bether option old ladie extior of a DC10 an modern cockpit and system from the MD11 . Is the better advanced option for thr PMDG MD11 Frighter ! best regards

I agree with the md-10 post. Even though I would love to see a tristar.
