January 1, 20224 yr Hi Folks, I see TFDi posted a dev update on their upcoming MD-11 on Wed this week. While there's till some way to go, I can see the team have made some good progress with bringing this aircraft to life.No mention of a release date yet. Of particular note was the announcement of pricing (~90 USD) and that it will be interestingly available as a base pack with two flavours thus allowing the user to choose whether the base is a passenger or freighter based variant. And from there you can elect the other as an expansion pack. This seems like a very good approach to me and I would probably elect to go with the freighter variant. More info here: https://forums.tfdidesign.com/index.php?/blogs/entry/61-winter-2021-development-update/ I'm definitely looking forward to flying the three-holer in P3D!

January 1, 20224 yr One of the primary reasons I still have FSX installed on my secondary sim machine is the PMDG MD-11F. Looking forward to getting the three-holer flying in P3D.

January 2, 20224 yr I know guessing a release date almost always results in disappointment in this hobby. Yet I can't help myself. Do you guys think it's reasonable by summer we will see this released? 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
January 2, 20224 yr Will be an insta-buy for me. I really like the 717 and have been waiting for this. Very happy to see P3D is not dead as far as the TFDI developers are concerned. Hope it will be a big commercial success to prove that the user base is still there. Formally screen name was Alex_YSSY until the forum software ate my account ^_^

Do you guys think it's reasonable by summer we will see this released? I think that's a reasonable guess Dave.😉 I looked back and the original announcement from TFDi about the P3D version was back in May of 2020, so a development of approx 2 years would seem reasonable to me, although it looks like there is co-development of the MSFS version as well, so I am not sure if that will slow things down or not.

I think TFDI have said they're aspiring to a simultaneous release, but that if the MSFS version does get bogged down they won't deprive us of a working P3D version if that is ready to ship. So I'm relatively confident we'll at least get the P3D base version within the year. PUT In the UK. AMD Ryzen 5 5600x & Radeon RX6700XT. Prepar3Dv5 @1080p
