Okay the 777F seems pretty boring. Does this thing have character? Soul? 

It's straight out of Motown, baby.

I bought the F version with the estended simulation thing, it's expensive but I like it and the dev seems to support it constantly improving and/or adding new features. Very good flight model and simulated systems, it has a "soul", it's vram hungry but it works very well with my system. I think that these old glories are the best option for who like me is bored with all those Airbuses and Boeing flying around. Also, the MD-11 autolands very gracefully, but landing it manually isn't that difficult, although the usual flap/speed combination 35/165 is a bit challenging.

The MD-11 uses a fully custom autopilot, which is why the Bravo (which uses native MSFS assignments) won't work out of the box.

The MD-11 does install it's own SDK though, which can be read by AAO, meaning assignment can be done using that utility.

PS.. it's "tiller", not "triller" 🙂

Thanks for your reply. What is AAO? They worked In msfs 2020

AAO is Axis And Ohs by Lorby, a very popular flight sim interface software that allows advanced assigning of functions to hardware and key presses.   Functions like those of a custom autopilot, that don't work with standard MSFS key commands can be assigned using AAO.

Not that I'm suggesting you buy it just for the MD-11. That probably wouldn't be worth it.

The MSFS 2024 version of the MD-11 adds a lot of capabilities like this.  It's the first addon that adds it's own SDK, for things like this; assigning highly customized functions to keys or hardware.
