Andrew,I tried the same flight again yesterday, which had given me the problem 3 times in a row. KFLL Fs Dream Team to MGGT Latin VFR, with UTX USA, Real Environment X and Ultra HD REX textures. This time however, I changed the REX textures to 1096, and also set the maximum textureload resolution in the cfg file to this same number using the freeware texture max load editor from frostysoftware. I also reduced the level of detail radius (first setting in scenery tab) to medium form the rightmost setting I had.i had no problems at all on the flight which further points to the RAM problem. Last time when everything went crazy I was using up 3.7 gig of ram, this time I periodically checked it and it was much lower than this, at around 2.2 gigs. I suspect that the problems occurred as the simulator loaded the large amount of photorealisitic scenery near MGGT, and this, combined with the high detail clouds and MD11 made the system short on RAM and I suspect the first symptoms are non responding VC displays and disruptions to the LSAS system.I hope this was the problem as I can definitely do with lower res clouds and scenery to fly the MD11. I will try more flights to detailed sceneries, especially longer ones to see if effectively I have got an improvement, if not like you I will have to change plane!Andrea

Hi all,I have finally tried the same flight again and same problem, I lose all elevator control. This happened on short final (flight KFLL - MGGT) Reading on this forum I tried disengaging LSAS from the overhead panel and I regained control as the elevators responded again. I tried switching it on again and, again, no elevators. I also noticed (another problem reported elsewhere in the other topic relating to the elevators locking up) that my VC displays were not updating properly. Switching to 2D and back to virtual cockpit fixed this. I had no null zones for my Saitex X52. This seems to point to a memory issue. I find this hard to believe though since I have 6 gigs of RAM and a 64 bit system. All this is very frustrating since I upgraded my system specifically to use FSX and the MD11 since I always had CTDs due to insufficient memories on my old system!Regards,Andrea Faggiani

Hi all,I have been having a big problem recently with the MD11. After every flight, as soon as I disengage the autopilot I have no pitch control whatsoever. I am using a Saitek X52. I have read a previous topic on this forum about other users having this problem , but it seems to be unresolved. Has anyone found the solution? I have very limited time to fly the md 11 so it is extremely irritating when this happens after a long flight right before landing. Last week disengaged the autopilot at about 800 feet when on the ILS and I had no pitch. I tried the same flight just now, and I sidengaged the auopilot in cruise to test the problem. No pitch. Roll and yaw were fine. I must add that the keyboard commands for pitch still work which is extremely puzzling. I have tried all the LSAS sensitivity options with no success. When I move the joystick nothing happens to pitch. Also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the joystick!

oops, problem solved thanks!

Hi all,Ive purchased the MD-11 the other day and have completed the tutorial and am beginning the daunting task of learning how to fly this plane. Ive have noticed something strange, the outboard slats and flaps do not seem to deploy, or at least do no appear in any spot or wing views but seem to appear as deployed on the CONGIF SD page (flaps have 50 49 under EACH wing, making me thing both the inboard and outboard are deployed?). Likewise if I extend the spoilers only the inboard portion seems to extend on each wing.Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong or could this be an installation problem?Thanks
