Just a quick heads up: For the past couple of updates, including this release, the add-on manager update tool would not work. Every time I tried to run it, I would get an error saying another installation needed to be completed. I had to reboot, then uninstall add-on manager and then download and install the most recent add-on manager. Once I did that, then it took care of everything. I do love this plane!

July 18, 20187 yr Any comments on TDI 717 compared with The Maddog ( I am using prepar 3d v4) ? Thanks Michael

Thanks They are related, both being a product of the DC9, and you can see some resemblance, like in the overhead panel. But they are two very different aircraft to fly. The B717 has a lot of modern automation almost similar to an Airbus (very similar to the MD11), while the MD80 requires a lot more manual input, and although it has some more modern EFIS displays than the old DC9, it is more down and dirty to manage. It's almost like a cross-over from the DC9, then the next step after would be the B717. As far as the quality of the two simulations, one from Leonardo and the other from TFDi, I believe they are on a level plane. They are both exceptional simulations of the highest quality possible, both visually and system-wise. I have them both and love flying each of them equally. Two different experiences. I would never be able to choose one over the other or buy one and not intend on also buying the other. They are as different to fly as the NGX and the FSLabs Airbus A320 (and now A319).

July 18, 20187 yr Anyone know if there is now a project for the MD11 now that this is pretty much finished? I would imagine it would be a whole lot easier now, since the systems are quite similar. Their relentless work ethic to make the 717 a premier aircraft model , squashing bugs till its very polished, would make it a day one purchase for an MD11 for me. Might even have a heart attack from the excitement. CYVR LSZH I7-14700k 64gb 6000Mhz DDR5 ASUS z690 ROG STRIX Gaming RTX 4080 Super,
July 18, 20187 yr Congrats, this is an amazing, reliable and performing addon. Couldn't be happier with it, and it reminds me of the MD-11, so it's a win-win. My best purchase last year.

July 18, 20187 yr How about the frame rate on the Leonardo and the TFDI 'DC-9s'? I've read that both are rather frame rate hungry.
July 18, 20187 yr Couple of points: (1) The aircraft is completely re-installed (old version folders are saved as a backup) you do not need to uninstall first. (2) Old liveries will not work with the new model (new ones now available at TFDi site) AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 4.2 32 gig ram, Nvidia RTX3060 12 gig, Intel 760 SSD M2 NVMe 512 gig, M2NVMe 1Tbt (OS) M2NVMe 2Tbt (MSFS) Crucial MX500 SSD (Backup OS).

Bob Excellent review. The only thing I would add is that there is an FS2 Crew available for the Leonardo if you like a virtual FO. I would like TFDi to add call outs for the take off speeds, gear and flaps settings but by no means a deal breaker. Both are excellent productions that will keep you happily busy for a long time.

July 18, 20187 yr Does anyone know if the problems with TFDi's Trueglass/RealLight in a dual-GPU SLI config ever got resolved? I'd be interested to hear from anyone running this updated version in an SLI config, as I have stayed away from this one due to those problems.

July 18, 20187 yr Last month I e-mailed their team about my own situation. I can run the maddog better than the NGX but I heard the tfdi was heavy on frames. I have a crappy potato that still holds up, by an unknown miracle so I have sometimes very good frames (+20 in VC) and sometimes very low frames (<9 fps). Now my question is: Did the perf improve or should I still save for christmas? For me the 717 is the only alternative to the MD11 in p3dv4 BTW I think my specs are in signature My system specs: Core 2 quad Q9650 @ 3.51ghz, GTX1060 6gb, 8gb ddr3 1333, 1Tb seagate barracuda, 500gb wd blue

I find it to be one of my smoothest A/C at the moment. I tested them together in an identical scenario and I got the following AVG FPS: 717 - 43 FSL A319 - 32 Leo MD-82 - 44 737 NGX - 43 53 minutes ago, Michael Moe said: Still no SLI support.
