May 15, 20242 yr https://fselite.net/content/tfdi-design-md-11-feature-complete-nearing-release/ Is there any - positive or otherwise - feedback from early adopters at this stage before the "full feature" release? I never used a TDFI simulation before and could be interested by the MD 11 exceptionally (not very fond of airliners anymore in MSFS).

May 15, 20242 yr It looks atrocious, the model. Someone compared it to a Zeppelin, which was spot on... EDIT: They changed the pictures in the aritcle at FSElite! "Update: we previously used images on this article that were not reflective of the latest version of the aircraft. We have replaced these images with ones of a later build. Image credit goes to Discord user SCOTSGOD." Previously they were showing a totally overdone Lufthansa MD11. This is what I was referring to. Glad it's not the current state, the pictures now look better. Edited May 15, 20242 yr by Fiorentoni For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Graf Zeppelin? I find it rather a nice shape that attracts the eye! Seeing a trijet with that huge fat body roaring into the skies on takeoff is just pure Gold!

May 15, 20242 yr Don't ALL airliner fuselages sort of resemble a Zeppelin? I mean they're just big round tubes or cigars. Do you mean the modelling and texturing isn't that good? Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

Seeing a trijet with that huge fat body roaring into the skies on takeoff is just pure Gold! I mean the visible panel lines, not the shape. How they modelled them. And that awful weathering everywhere. The MD11 itself is a beautiful aircraft, don't get me wrong. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord.

May 15, 20242 yr The PMDG MD-11 was my fave FSX bird. The sounds of the engines spooling up on my home audio studio sub-woofer got the neighbours running for cover. Used it exclusively cargo as an excuse to land in some ridiculous places. I hope they get it right. They are certainly pricing it high tier. Russell Gough SE London

Seeing a trijet with that huge fat body roaring into the skies on takeoff is just pure Gold! Just imagine being in the cockpit and pushing up the power. The roar passing 80% N1 letting you know she is ready. All of the shaking, rattles, squeaks and thumping as she builds her stride. The multiple variations of nose wheel sounds as you thunder ahead. As you do an almost two pump pull on the yoke and the nose smoothly raises. The instant shuddering and spin noises you hear as the nose wheels depart the earth. That feeling of being pulled into the seat as she leaps upward. The VVI going from 500fpm down during rotation to about 2500 to 3500fpm up. Once the gear is selected up, the sounds and squeals of the slip stream around the nose gear doors as they come closed. That rumble and shudder in the floor and seats as the nose wheels come contact with the nose wheel spin pads. The long drawn out variation of nose wheel spin as the spin pads slow them down. I've heard and felt the wheel spin as high as 10,000ft when those pads get worn out. Good times!!!! Rick D http://g5flyer.tumblr.com/

Cannot wait for it, I am considering ops with martinair (cargo), KLM pax/cargo and Lufthansa Cargo. Also Fedex/UPS of course.

The "woman" autopilot/AI sound will multiply for every tire that failed on landing🤣. Just like a YT video I recall..

But I've seen MD11 for many years here at EDDF (Lufthansa Cargo) and they were in better shape 😄 Oh see they changed the article at FSElite!
