Does the MD-11 for FS9, saved and retore flights similar to the &$&-400/F? That is, if I establish and fly a flight plan that will take 3-5 hours am I able to save the flight to disk, exit the sim, return to the sim and pick-up where I left off? The PMGD 747 allowed this action, their 737 did not. This makes a huge differance to me in purchasing the aircraft. I attempted to find the answer by searching the forum, but for some reason I was unable to reveiw an answer and come back to the search list.ThanksTom

Yes it will save a flight. It has a panel state saving feature like the 747. I highly recomend this bird,

Thank you for both your answer and recommendation. I have looked at purchasing this model since it came on to the market. I have even pulled down its manuals to read and to study. That model looks like a handfull to learn and to fully enjoy. If I had a good way to copy/print the manuals, at a reasonable cost, to follow along during the aircraft operation I would most likely make the purchase. At this time, the manuals are the only thing holding me back.Tom

Just the tutorial is sufficient to get you started and that's only about 40 pages. Then when you've hit the basics of the airplane you can go through tfe rest of the documentation at your own pace.
