As someone who is still stuck with a Prologue A320 I wouldn't touch the 330 with a bargepole. Practically everything posted by BBS these days is about the 330/340, promising everything under the sun and then a little extra. Strangely enough the 320 was like that too a couple of years ago...then the 330 showed up and the 320 was thrown under the bus :unsure: So 330/340 owners should be worried if images of a 350 or 380 start to appear on their Farcebook page..... I still have the 320 v0.76 (v0.8 was a backward step) installed for those times when I have the urge to fly an Airbus. Thankfully those urges are firmly under control and I can't see it staying on my drive much longer. Parting with another $60 for an unfinished 330/340 to go with the $60 unfinished 320 that I already have doesn't seem like a good deal to me. TTFN

Where do I find 1.6? The earliest version on my FS2Crew account page is 2.0.0.39. Thanks

I have the same problem, it always crashes when I End Flight, even if FS2Crew wasn't used during the flight. As it happens after the flight I never bothered too much, but it's worth a mention if someone else sees it.

Craig, I agree that the lack of repaints is puzzling, especially as the paint kit was released a while ago. There are some WIP threads on the forum but no releases. Sadly I don't have the ability to produce good quality repaints, although I have done a couple for my personal use, so I'm happy to wait until the professionals release theirs. Maybe the delay indicates an polygon optimisation process for SP1? On the performance issue I am one of those who isn't seeing a problem, on a very average PC. My FPS (in FSX) stays stable throughout the flight, normally 26-30 (locked at 30) depending on the airport. ASN is always running, as is RC4 and AI traffic. Memory usage and average FPS are monitored by FSUIPC and saved to a log file for later review in the event of problems. My longest flight so far has been London - São Paulo - London, with intelligent cruise active and payware airports at both ends, and no slowing down at the end of the flight. TTFN

IMHO Lee´s HD paints are better than the McPhat ones, and there is enough variety to keep anyone happy. As for the MD-11, get it ! It is still one of the best aircraft available, and is far more interesting than 777s and 320s. This one should be in everyone's virtual hangar. Terry Burns

MD-11 It has a certain "uniqueness" that a Boeing or an Airbus doesn't have, and PMDGs rendition is brilliant. 2d panel, great systems, does hurt frame rates and can handle time acceleration without throwing a wobbly. It is also a surprisingly good hand flyer for a very automated aircraft. Terry Burns

That was very much my situation, $80 for an older product (howver good it is) is too much. For some unknown reason I recently clicked on the buy button and saw the $60 price. That made for a very quick and easy decision and I've now joined the ranks of happy MD-11 pilots. If I had seen the $60 price earlier I would have bought it much sooner. Terry Burns
