I have been flying with FTG for a long time. FTG has been adding a lot of classic schedules to the flyable routes. So while modern jets are more prevalent, Those of you who like to fly the classics like the 377, 707, 727, DC-9, DC-10, MD-11, L-1011, and on and on will have plenty of to choose from.

If they haven't fixed the flight dynamics, then it really won't matter. The original was a pig to fly.

Would it be trolling to demand folding wings at this point? Some airports are small. I don't care if Boeing designed them but never built them! This is a simulation right! :Devil:

Also make sure that you have the service pack installed

The panels going grey is a sign on the textures reloading. Due to the higher than average requirements for the MD-11, to fix this you are probably going to have to turn down AI or scenery or both.

The EFB is not for flight planning in that it will not generate a route for you. It can be used to save routes to PMDG format however. Try using skyvector to create your route and copy it into EFB.

Have you tried enabling or disabling auto-mix under realism settings?

Looked at all my normal sources and couldn't find anything. I am sure it exists somewhere.

Also, you should be aware that the J41 is not certified for RNAV. The J41 will not display RNAV SIDs

Are we talking Nav radio or Com?

I find that if you can hit the top of descent calculated by the FMC at 190 knotts, you can pull the engines to idel and set the autopilot to IAS hold. Usually if winds co-operate, she will stay within a few hundred feet of the calculated path without any issues and when you get to the bottom, you won't be struggling to slow down.

Maybe what was insinuated but not stated was add fuel to bring you into a good CG. Add enough fuel that when you reach your destination you will still be in that green zone. You can use the load manager to help. In the load manager, empty the jet of passengers and cargo, add fuel until your the center of gravity enters the green zone. Then add enough fuel for your flight and a 1 hour reserve. Keep in mind however, this way of doing things limits your range, so no long distance ferry flights. If you want to do a long distance flight, you may have no choice but to add some cargo.

Do you have an axis assigned to toe brakes?

I would put in a support ticket with PMDG then. They are good about getting things like this resolved.

On my throttles, I just have an axis set to run both of the condition levers. Typically, this does not cause any issues. If you run abnormal operations, life gets a little more tricky, but still manageable.
