TFDI MD-11 updated

Featured Replies

The MSFS 2024 flight was my standard test run, KJFK to KBOS Rwy 33L, ILS.

I figured out the mouse pointer matter, now I can get AP control of Heading, Speed & ALT by 'clicking' the mouse center wheel over the appropriate button.

The flight went really well, AP NAV all the way & the ILS approach was exemplary, complete with tire screech at touch down

Very pleased with this aircraft & I intend to put a lot more time on it.

    $5 USD, the price of an actual cup of coffee at Starbucks in the US. Good on TFDI for a reasonable upgrade fee to MSFS 2024.

  • Hi all, we're happy to announce that the long-awaited Art, FS2024, and Extended Sim update for the MD-11 will release on 12JAN26 at 1600 GMT. We'll be here in Discord to chat and address anything

    Well, $5 here is closer to the price of two coffees😝 After that, only three planes left before I can remove MSFS2020, but all of them are default.

My personal past experience with TFDI is that they oversold product and didn't deliver fully with the 717. (for whatever reason).

If the MSFS 2024 version of the TFDI  MD11 now meets consumer satisfaction then good!!   I might consider a purchase , But I am not buying the 2020 version to fiddle with installing the 2024 upgrade.

I liked the 717 alot.  In P3DV4.  In v5 it always had issues like lighting.  I didn't use it much in v5

I know that? So?

You can still look up whatever each aircraft in the fleet did if you have a subscription.

Now, 20 and 24 are sold as a single version, so one purchase gives you both 20 and 24.

My FMC says "Check Data Base Cycle" and the data does seem to be out of date. However, when I go to Navigraph Hub, it says everything is up to date. What am I missing?

Initial flight with MSFS 2024 is going well.

I noticed 1 difference with respect to MSFS 2020 - on the Autopilot in FS20, when you hover the mouse pointer over, say, the Heading dial, you get a downward pointing arrow, or moving the pointer 'up' slightly, an upward pointing arrow. Left clicking on the former has the AP setting control the heading, left clicking on the latter, [upward arrow], has the FMS control the heading.

In FS2024 I am not getting the 'up/down' arrow choice when I hover the mouse pointer over the Heading dial so I am wondering if I should be, & thereby have a Setting incorrect somewhere?

I use legacy for mouse control and am getting the up and down arrows.

I finally got the plane. I feel it handflies a lot better than what I used to have in MSFS2020 and P3Dv5, and well, it looks a lot better. There are, unfortunately 3 things I didn't like:

1) I can't still hide the yoke. Some of my FS9 planes have that function. I hope to be wrong, but if not... c'mon TFDi, you can do better! EDIT: apparently there is the option, but I can't find it.

2) I still can't remove fuel mid-flight (for skipping cruise). But now I find fuel dump rate is slower than before, so I couldn't get to the gross weight I wanted on time for approach.

3) The most important one for me: as expected with all native MSFS2024 models, all the repaints I have for 2020 were rendered useless. Also, texture filenames and file structure changed between versions, so I can't simply convert the repaints I have from DDS to KTX2 (as I did with the PMDG 777 or the JF Avro RJ).

I saw on the Discord that it FINALLY has hide yoke option.  I don't know how the team overlooked that feature but sooo glad to see they introduced in this update.

Where?

You still can use FR24

Just search for FedEx then click on fleet and then MD11

Not really - FR24 only shows 7 days of history, I don't have any subscription with them hence why can't access any data for more then 7 days which is why it is useless to me in this sense.

You may also be able to get some from: https://www.flightsimdispatch.net/

This is best option as it also finds historical realistic flights - really impressed, need to use this more for any flights not available on FR24.
