This is all your fault - @pmplayer Once I get a hankering for a plane or bit of scenery, it's only a question of time. DIdn't hold out for long this time though!
So here we are in a wintry CYVR, in my shiny new MD-11. Happy to say it came up nicely hot-started on the runway, and took off and flew ok without having to wade through a manual or even a readme. Which is what I want from a plane. As an aside, I've just downloaded an update for the FlyingIron Spitfire, and having looked at the changes, which apparently make it much more realistic (or "difficult" as I like to think of it) to control, I may install it but I will certainly keep the older version to hand as well. I likes my flying to be simples. This MD-11 is a fine looking thing though, and I'm pleased with it.

AIG hard at work as ever
So, first time out in this then
That third engine looks about the same size as my A318
These sort of shots, wintry scenes with strong lighting, are the type that tend to get a bit washed out in the move from HDR to standard, and some of these are a bit like that.
