August 4, 20178 yr Ohhh, I'm a happy man. Found her on an old harddrive a month ago. Thought she was lost. Tried to install her in Prepar3d v3.4 - despite license issues, as reported from many to be possible. Outcome was extreme bad fps despite a lot of tweaking. Not flyable. Then I installed FSX again on a SSHD I had in spare, installed the PMDG MD11 and since then I have been in the skies with this bird. Nothing else than scenaries on this harddrive. On ground at EKCH (scenary from FlyTampa) with ORBX (not vector) and Mytraffic running and fps around 45-50. In midair I'm wropping around 100 fps. What an experience. I'm a happy man.

Do not spend time with prepar3D v3.4 trying to get this bird back into the skies. Find a hardrive, install FSX and what you need and fly. Jan Nissen
August 4, 20178 yr I flew the MD-11 for many MANY miles on v3 without any issues. It was my favourite heavy and it's the one i miss the most now in v4. Such a shame nobody picks her up for a revamp :( CASE: Fractal Terra Silver CPU: AMD R5 7800X3D 5.0Ghz RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 GPU: nVidia RTX 4070 Ti SUPER · SSDs: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB M.2 PCIe · PNY XLR8 CS3040 2TB M.2 PCIe · VIDEO: LG-32GK650F QHD 32" 144Hz FREE/G-SYNC · MISC: Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Joystick + Throttle Quadrant · MSFS2024 · Windows 11
August 4, 20178 yr 1 hour ago, Nuno Pinto said: Such a shame nobody picks her up for a revamp :( Agreed. For me, the systems are absolutely perfect, as is the modelling. Literally the only thing I'd love to see PMDG do (I know it will never happen) is a re-texturing of the VC, using today's modern technologies (baking, etc) at 4096 resolution so the text is perfectly crisp and readable. And I reckon she'd be good as new!

August 4, 20178 yr Moved this topic from the Microsoft Flight forum. Technically this should be in the PMDG forum but some of the respondents don't have their full names shown and that is required by PMDG. This move should get more participation in this forum.
