November 29, 20205 yr Hi, Just noticed that TFDi 717 is on sale (for $32) on Orbx Central, and it really looks like a steal. I really love MD-11 & 717 avionics, and I'm quite excited for it. Do you think it's worth $32? How is it in terms of systems and other aspects? Thanks in advance. PC specs: i5-12400F, RTX 3070 Ti and 32 GB of RAM. Simulators I'm using: X-Plane 12, Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) and FlightGear.
November 29, 20205 yr It is a steal and a great aircraft. I had some CTD issues with the beta for P3D v5 but haven’t tried for a while so that may have been resolved already. When it works it’s a very interesting aircraft and more then worth the price. Formally screen name was Alex_YSSY until the forum software ate my account ^_^

I bought it already some time ago before they got it into ORBX Central.

November 29, 20205 yr Very highly recommended, i asked a question about going for either the Maddog or 717 about 2 years ago and ended up going with the Maddog - but with this weekends sale finally bought the 717 and i'm very glad i did - depth is great for the price, performance is good and of course a great trainer for when the MD-11 arrives!

Thank you! Early reviews (from 2017) say that its VNAV is broken and many things about FMC are missing, is this still the case in 2020? PC specs: i5-12400F, RTX 3070 Ti and 32 GB of RAM.

November 29, 20205 yr FMC seemed pretty functional to me - and i didn't use VNAV on the one proper flight i have done but from what i've seen TFDI have done alot of work from where they started - even if its not PMDG/Maddog level its currently what 1/4 or so of the price so i aren't fretting and hope by purchasing it encourages the guys to keep developing other aircraft
November 29, 20205 yr Great Plane ,good value and flys well. Early problems sorted but do bear in mind that this was a pre- boeing plane so that you have to adjust to the systems. I use it a lot! Norman Bowman

November 29, 20205 yr I used to love this plane in V4. Since it's not pbr it looked good with a reflection profile and tomato shade. So the exterior doesn't look the best in V5. Lights also aren't that nice in V5. Super washed out. But it's a very fun airplane. For that price you should definitely get it. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
November 29, 20205 yr I just bought it for p3d v4.5. Checked it out really quick and liked everything I saw, including night lighting. It’s now my go to plane for Hawaii. JasonFAA CPL SEL MEL IR CFI-I MEI AGI

VNAV works great, what is missing in the FMC is imput for winds but we can expect this funtion to be implemented in the future after the MD11 release. I flew it few days ago switching from internal and external view may times and did not get any CTD. For short hops it's a blast, I highly recommend it!
