Well, SkySimulation just released its first update for the MD11.  I'll load it up.  Maybe it's up there with PMDG now!

I believe that the update improved the autopilot.  It is not porpoising like a roller-coaster now

The auto flight system is very strange in this.  The autopilot works, but it doesn't work like any aircraft that I know of. There is no FMA indications that let you know that the autopilot is on. Then it seems that sometimes you have to click on the autopilot and NAV buttons several times to get them to function.  Right now it's following the magenta line very good, so we'll see if it keeps it up.

The flight mode annunciations (FMA) of the autopilot in the MD11 should be displayed in the PFD. Similar as in a Boeing or Airbus aircraft. If this is not simulated by SS, then good night.

Great review. I am wondering though whether the exterial animations to open/close the cargo main door and for the aircraft stairs were recorded with 4 x sim speed as they are moving too fast.

This looks like a good choice for someone transitioning from GA to heavies. A full featured FMC can be intimidating. Does the AP and main systems use standard P3D key commands that we can bind to buttons or must you use the mouse ?

Thanks for the video David, very informative. The systems overall seem overall fine to me, but the FMS is big drawback for me. As you say in the video, I hope they end of putting in something with more to it than this. Second, those sounds, on the whole don't seem very good to me. Those call-outs all have a pretty bad low 'rumble' to them that is probably from the engines of the plane on which they were recorded. They might want to try and filter that out somehow. As for the engine sounds... I'm definitely not an expert, but it seems to me that those engines are not quite as whiny as portrayed here.

Sounds need work. I did cockpit flights in the real 11 and it is not that exaggerated as one can hear in the video.

That's what I suspected. Thanks for confirming!
