I have a little problem with the MD-11's load manager where it doesn't allow me to "Send to FSX", only save to file or close. It does show "Flight Simulator Status: connected" however. This is with FSX Steam Edition.

 

Anyone know what causes this/how to fix?

 

Thanks!

I have exactly the same issue. Went ahead with flight anyway and had fun trying to dump 40000 lb of fuel before descent

I used the refuelling option in the cdu and must have messed it up.

Is there a simple way to set the block fuel in the fms?

you can refuel via fmc if i remember well, but there is a faster way via PMDG menu(you can find it in fsx menu bar), you have option to set fuel instantly

Ah Thx star it was my go to plane 4 years ago I can remember what's available just not where it is!

Hi molleh;

 

Did you try to rename "MD-11F.air" to "MD-11F.AIR" and "MD-11.air" to "MD-11.AIR" in SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG_MD11F and SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG_MD11 folders?

 

This worked for me.

 

Cheers.

Perfect tip!
