You're wrong. You won't even be allowed access to the cockpit. But you can have a window seat and look at the wing flex and spoilers deploy. So be grateful.. :( Ian

Bum kissing?Time for some British understatement, I think. It's not bad at all. In fact, it's pretty good. :( And I look forward to future ORBX products of a similar high standard. Ian

So, has anyone actually bought this? Or is everyone holding on for the 'bus from Aerosoft Industrie...?Ian

Well if that's their last word it's disappointing to say the least.Looks like Air Simmer are going to be in the Hudson...

Not so! It's an alternative spelling.. :( And that's the whole point of my post. As long as the meaning's clear, what difference does it make??Note: at least one grammatical/spelling error has been included in this post to exercise the grey matter of those so inclined..Good work on your index by the way...

You're on really shakey ground here. Especially since you don't know how to use an apostrophe properly. Nor do you know that you don't need a capital letter after a hyphen.But I understand what it is to have a bee in the bonnet about something. There are plenty of things that get my goat. Only, this is a flight simming forum, open to people of all nationalities and standards of education. As long as the meaning is clear, perhaps we should just go along with it??Happy simming.Obama

This is aimed mostly at the British contingent, but did anyone else manage to buy the boxed version of the PMDG MD-11 (published by Aerosoft) on Amazon for

Don't buy it online. You can get a boxed version from Play.com for

Well, I've ordered another gig of RAM, because it's cheap and it'll be useful anyway. I also tried Tweak FS recently and found it gave a good boost in performance when just concentrating on IFR flight.Yes, I had a look through some posts on this subject. Maybe I'll hold out on the MD-11 till I can get a new machine. I noticed PC Pilot magazine here in the UK has reviewed some PCs dedicated to FS. I can't believe how far things have moved on in the space of a few years.One thing I wished I'd done though was keep my copy of FS9. I gave it to a charity shop.. But hopefully someone's enjoying it - maybe on a machine even worse than mine! Ian

HelloI've just got back into FS (and AVSIM) after a long lay-off. I really fancy trying the new MD-11, but my machine hasn't been upgraded for a few years, and I'm wondering if it could handle the new plane. These are the rough specs:AMD 3500+ 2.2 GhzRadeon X8001 GB RAM I can run FSX reasonably well at medium settings with the stock aircraft, but haven't got any advanced add-ons. I can't afford any new hardware at present, but I'm prepared to forsake some of the eye candy in the sim for the sake of a reasonably fluid simulation of the MD-11.What do you reckon? Any opinions or advice greatly appreciated.Thanks Ian Carter
