December 27, 201015 yr Angle of Attack's instructional course. Contains more than you will ever find out by reading the Manual.Chris Palmer and Nick Collett did an absolutely amazing job with the MD-11 and I learnt heaps more than I would have done by just purchasing and flying the MD-11. In my honest opinion, anyone who bought the MD-11 and that hasn't got this course, is missing out on so much. I paid for it. This isn't a plug, just an appreciation of fantastic work. Dave Taylor
December 27, 201015 yr Commercial Member I chose the MD-11, but I will add a caveat:"So far..."The only reason I didn't choose the J-41 is because it's on a different level, compared to the others (B744/MD-11/737). No only is it "lite," it's a completely different kind of flying. I'm not even going to compare it to the jets. Kyle Rodgers
December 27, 201015 yr I must add I agree with both above... So far sums it up as it's hugely enjoyable.AOA's course is full of information I agree Dave and well worth the money, It has sure helped with keeping ahead on landing for me.John Ellison
December 28, 201015 yr The AoA course on the MD11 has made me appreciate it more than ever. This is a highly computerized aircraft and PMDG did a great job of simulating it completely. AoA, along with the PMDG manuals are really opening my eyes to just how much fun it is to fly the MD11. It is keeping my mind off of just waiting for the NGx.I agree that the J41 is a different kind of aircraft. It's very well made and complex, but hard to compare to the MD11. Robert Yunque
December 31, 201015 yr I'm still in the AoA pre-flight portion. I haven't flown my MD-11 since I bought it due to waiting for the course. I love AoA's 747 video course, really taught me alot. Wish Chris would tackle the J41.
January 12, 201115 yr I wish AOA would consider the PMDG J41 also.. I know it would be fantastic.Ron Musick Ron Musick, PP-ASEL-IA AOPA # 00642403
January 12, 201115 yr Im thinking about this... Not sure, tho.IF i do get it, i may get the 747 also. Adrian Burley London, UK
January 13, 201115 yr Author Adrian, if like me, you want to enjoy the most the sim has to offer, enrolling with both is the short cut to learning everything about the potential of enjoying to the full these simulations. I can tell you that learning this way is much more satisfying than reading an 800-900 page manual and only half of it, sinking in. Dave Taylor
January 14, 201115 yr Author I am now using Nick Collet's EZCA settings and the best just got even better, absolutely awesome. Nick your a bloody Saint mate! Dave Taylor
January 16, 201115 yr DaveI think you've convinced me that I deserve an early birthday present. What's that EZ something you're referring to please?Best. Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
January 16, 201115 yr Dave, ignore that question. After purchasing the training package, all becomes clear.Good advice mate - thanks :( Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
January 16, 201115 yr Author Dave, ignore that question. After purchasing the training package, all becomes clear.Good advice mate - thanks :(Gavin, it's nice to help the flightsim fraternity and you too mate. A happy new year to you. Nick Collett, I have had contact with and has helped me immensely (I'm a senior citizen now with occasional 'senior moments' haha)EZCA is available from 'Flight 1' (money back if your not satisfied) and makes everything realistic. You can even get by not using 'TrackIR', which incidentally works fine with EZCA, you can control your view with the mouse, like you could with the 'F1.view DLL file'.I use both together and with the training Nick has uploaded his settings for everyone to enjoy flying the MD-11 just as he was within the tutorials.An excellent package for everyone that owns the MD-11. I guarantee that you will all learn things that you would never have understood reading the manual! This is addictive instruction that after watching them inspires you to go fly the MD, enjoying applying all you have just learnt. The situation files also place you straight into the right place for doing what you just learnt. Dave Taylor
January 20, 201115 yr I am currently logging flights in either the MD11X or the JS41. I have others on my new system, but I am hardly in them at the moment...I need to build up the hours on the MD11X :)Andrew Andrew Entwistle
January 22, 201115 yr I thinks it a hard question. Because they will alway come out with better sim aircraft as FS gets better.As far as the MD11 goes thats the aircraft i fly most of the time i enjoy it immensely Paul sheather PC win7 64bit i7 960 oc 3.80 gtx 470x2 SLI 8gig ram PMDG MD11 737NG 747-400 747-800 JS41 B1900 CS 727 757 767 C130 AEROSOFT A320-1 TWIN OTTER FSD PORTER SENECA WARBIRDSIM P51B CARENADO C208 C206 CERA BELL212 FLIGHT1 ATR Active sky ASA
