Purchased your MD-11 from Amazon!It's so good, I cannot see myself going to sleep tonight Just%20Kidding.gifYou can hold the NGX for another month or so....

I love the MD11 especially her sound during takeoff ;)

Yup! I'm going through the manuals now!Betty wouldn't leave me alone when I took her up the first time! LOLThe thing that amazes me, for the aircrafts 'age' it is VERY technically updated, I would of not realized that from just looking on the external! Amazing work PMDG, if this is what the MD-11 is like, the NGX, must be a black hole.It runs great on my PC! I feel much confident.

I bought her the other day, looks amazing but have yet to take her out for a spin! Definately going to keep me busy until the NGX.

Still my favorite, but that should change soon *wink wink). However I can easily say I have put the most hours into that aircraft (MD-11) than any other.

The MD-11 is the best aircraft in my FSX hangar... The simulation is excellent... there's always a "catch" to every addon it seems, and the MD-11 has none that I've been able to identify.Beyond that, I just like the MD glass cockpit... I find the FMS and AFS to be more intuitive than some of the others that I've tried, and not just because PMDG actually makes it work properly. I don't know, I just like it better than the systems in the other aircraft I fly.It makes me wish PMDG would do a 717 so I could use the MD glass cockpit for short-haul flights... I would imagine there would be at least a solid head start on some of the programming in such a project. Not sure how many people would actually be interested in that, considering the 717 never really caught on much outside of FL. But then neither did the MD-11, really. Both aircraft were victims of some pretty bad timing.

My Current Flight Sim Setup: She ain't much to look at, but she's got it where it counts.

My New Build: Phase 2 - Project Planning. Working on justifying expense to wife.

I too bought just a week ago and am just stunned by the level of aivionic technology in this aircraft considering when it was first introduced. The other thing that i noticed was its handleability when flown manually. Assuming both the PMDG 747X and the PMDG MD-11 are accurately (As possible) modelled airodinamically, the MD-11 seems easier to handle than the queen imho.

That's the same thing that has me stunned by this add-on!I really must commend PMDG for this, and this ability to fly this aircraft by hand, because I'm a visual guy this is phenomenal (S.P?).

MD11 is brilliant its the only aircraft i fly since geting FSX nearly 3 years ago. Imagine how awesome the NGX is going to be.

MD11 J41 747 NGX . . awaiting 777 !!!

I agree. I love the MD11 and from flying it, I can see why so many cargo carriers are still holding on to it. I always think of it as being in between a Boeing and an Airbus.I can't imagine the NGX being any better than this beautiful MD11, but PMDG keeps saying that it is and I'm leaning more toward believing them by now, so I'll take their work for it.:( Bob

Yeah, the FMC seems to be in between the two.

The MD-11 is one of my favorite planes as well, both for FSX and in the real world. She looks great and I love the cockpit. Its so clean and simple, and everything works in a logical way. I like the philosophy much much better than what Boeing puts out.

Yeah if I ever become a commercial pilot I would choose the MD-11 over any other aircraft (if i had the choice) LoL
