I currently own all of the PMDG products (except the upcoming DC9) and I have an age old question concerning the MD-11. The rumor mill still has the MD-11 as a proverbial logic bomb for PMDG products and I want to include it in my hanger... but if it still causes errors within FSX to the point I have to wipe ALL my entire FSX drive, I rather leave it where it is - as a executable zip file from PMDG. Has PMDG addressed this issue long ago already and the latest updates will not have any effect on the sim, or is it still what many are saying what it is? I have tried running the MD-11 a while back after I had bought the 747-8i and I had to repair the entire drive... thankfully almost all my software were re-downloadable, I had to pay for another extended plan from PMDG to get my aircraft from them again.

Hi all, just a quick one. I have always had a thing for this wonderful bird, so I have been thinking for a while to purchase the PMDG sim of the MD11. The only thing that is stopping me now is the doubt if it is not a bit too "old", in software terms. So basically the question is this, is it still worth it? If some current owner could spare some advice and possibly a few pros and cons I would be grateful. Cheers!!

This is with reference to the value stated for Dry Runway Estimated Landing Distance at Flaps 50/EXT mentioned on Page No 420 Under Procedures and Techniques section of the PMDG MD-11 FCOM (Doc Ref: PMDG MD-11 FCOM/PD.00.2/DTD 04 AUGUST, 2008). The Value mentioned therein is 1550. I suppose it is a typographical error and should have been 4550 instead. Refer attachment for details. Kindly cross check your documention.

Hi guys, does anyone know if this new gauges could be integrated in the VC or will it be? I think only PMDG could do it, so is there any plan by PMDG staff? Alternatively could be possible to create a shortcut to display this gauge as 2d popup w/o using FSX menu to recall it? or insert a clickable area inside VC to click over to display 2d gauge? I'm using it with MD11 and am very happy, but every time I change my camera view (with EZCA) 2d gauge disappears, so I need to click a spot or shortcut to recall it. Many thanks for reply. Ric

The same week after world cup was finish, Friday Night I departed out of Brazil for good, it was the final and last flight our of Brazil and also the last flight for EuroCay MD-11's Just 2 people Controlling EDDM, must be really slow for only 2 controllers The Big Boy Off Back to the Main EuroCay hub to finish her final flight Deboarding was complete and EuroCay decided to have the 3 Brothers sleep by each other before they Leave on Monday Evening to the desert for Retirement, was kind of late that I start to fly the MD-11 and felt accomplish knowing how to fly this big bird Thanks to my Pal CAY1268- Z.Powery on teaching me from cold and dark to Engine start up, but all great things must come to an end since the MD-11 has been in service with FlyCay from 2011. It had a great run but time to rest and make way for more advanced aircraft to come through, So Long to the MD-11's.

My PMDG "career" has started nearly 1.5 years ago, it's about time for this post. I started of with the JS41, enjoying it but soon feeling I need a plane I often fly with as passenger, so I soon got the NGX, followed by the expansion pack. As I felt that I want to get into heavies too, the MD11 joined the fleet. I fly all of them a lot, and last week I bought the 777. Why not? If it doesn't work I have it ready for better times when I have a decent desktop. But now, after turning down a few settings I totally enjoy it. None of the other planes gave me the feeling of flying a large plane and "being there". I already flew her into the most complex scenery I have, Aerosofts Approaching LOWI, and landed without problems. FPS on final approach was just above 10, but stutter-free, making good hand flying possible. This was certainly better than with the NGX, where I had to switch to the 2D panel. On important thing to note is that I'm not a "HD" simmer. I have no problem with a few "blurries", low autogen settings and default sceneries and clouds. If you can think like that as well and have a similar system as me, I'd say go for it. Hope this helps some people who are unsure about getting the Triple Seven :smile: . Thank you PMDG for giving me such a great time with your products. I wish you nice holidays, merry Christmas, and a happy new year, hopefully beginning with releasing the "real" (sorry about that, I just prefer long airplanes) 777 when it's ready.

Hi guys! Could you please pay attention to following price discrepancy in folowing PMDG web page: http://www.precisionmanuals.com/pages/product/md11.html As usual visitor I'm entering PMDG page and than via "products" going to link attached above. You can see following priceing for MD11 BUY NOW FS9 - 79,99$ FS9/FSX - 119,99$ and FSX - 79,99$ (Actually I stopped here and my purchase was over) But my friend noticed me to enter on following link: http://www.precisionmanuals.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=13&idproduct=12 what is actually to push on BUY NOW FSX - 79,99. (exapmles attached below) So could you please fix that and indicate correct price on both of sources as it may be reason of lose some customers. Thanks a lot. Best regards Janis

HI. I am running FSX- SP2 (Loaded on the C: drive in its own folder not in program folder.), Windows 7. FUICP. all fully updated on a brand new Alienware/Dell desktop. Loaded the dll. file recomended by PMDG to FSX to stop crahes after 10 hrs etc. PMDG MD 11 crashes or launches witha black screen. All FSX setting are set to default Any ideas? Clean installs have been executed. Registries checked/repaired and mended. I do have an older LCD monitior (1280-1050). Help! Thanks Marc

Hi all, I'm a big fan of PMDG, you've done a great job on every aircraft! Since the beginning a major scenery problem appeared while using the MD11 in cloudy weather. I use REX Essentials + Overdrive as well. This problem recently 'expanded' to the 737NGX and the 747-400. I'm not sure wether this problem is from PMDG or REX and I have no idea how to fix this. I hope you guys can help me out with this... Huge thanks in advance!! Jimmy (I don't know how to upload images, if someone could tell me how, I can add some pictures of this problem!)

Hey, first i want to say sorry for my English. My Problem is, that always when i am flying the MD11, the Horn is going forward and backward. It is like the MD11 would have a fly by wire. It is very hard to land the MD11 manual, because the elevator is lagging, for e.g. if you make a minimal movement at joystick the elevator is going to the maximum and stays there until go move against it. If i am pressing "Z" and stay on it, then i can fly the MD11 perfeclty. But i a stop pushing it the problem comes back. Do you have any ideas ? I hace a Saitek Cyborg X and reinstallation dind't solved the problem. Best regards Matthias

Dear simmers, I have played a lot with the PMDG MD11 and its quite fun to fly ( even if its hard to :P ). Now I want to take it to a next level and make something from the MD11 cockpit. I want to build a Throttle Quandrant to add more realism to the flight. I have searched and searched and came up empty. I have really found nothing related to the dimensions or structure of which the MD11 throttle quandrant is built of. Im doing this as a summer project with a friend of mine who is going to build the throttle quandrant of a Boeing 737. Im hoping you guys could help me in any way possible because the summer is getting closer :P Hope to hear you soon Any help is welcome Greetings FOwout

Hello all, I been having issues reinstalling the MD-11, I already contacted PMDG and the solutions I got are not giving me any progress, this product was working fine, now I don't know why this is happening, I know PMDG is not selling this product anymore but they still doing the support?? I tried everything I was able to find online related to this error, also enable and disable the windows firewall, ran it as admin, etc etc and nothing, please does anybody can help me please? also on Facebook a few people are saying having the same issue, thanks.

Hello, I have to confess, I'm angry... I once bought the MD11, flew it on FSX and everything was fine! But then my computer crashed, I had to set up a new one. I could access all my online accounts, so I dl'ed the MD11 and tried to install it with my well known data taken from my PMDG account site. The installer denied... I purchased it once again, paid for it the 2nd time, received new data and tried with that. Once again I was told my data was invalid. This makes no sense to me, and it even shouldn't make sense to PMDG. So I ask for two things: 1.) I want to have the product I have paid for functioning. 2.) As this obviously's not my fault I want to have the money for the 2nd purchase recredited. Regards Joerg Pauly

So there I was ... 134 knots on runway 31R, autothrottle disconnect engaged, thrust levers idle (on my end), and spoilers ground flight engaged but I am not slowing fast enough. Autobrake was enabled minimum but I don't recall any braking occuring. Slowing down; 120, 115 but via friction with the runway only. My eyes glance up to see the end of the runway going by and now I am high speed on the taxiway heading quickly into a jet blast fence at the taxiway turn. My mind flashes back to the approach: Autoflight disengaged and autothrottle giving me trouble. Prior to my predicament the aircraft was on the approach in dual land configuration. Some short time later the aircraft was in flare but the autothrottle had not disengaged and the aircraft simply flew down the runway just a few feet high. It was too late for an attempt to land and stop in time so I disconnected the autoflight and wanted to fly right traffic to perform a visual approach. The throttle was clamped in alpha protection and attempts to disconnect the autothrottle for climb power turned into a struggle between the aircraft and I and never was I confident the throttle is in my control only. Once again, on final approach, hand flying the guidance when my wheels touch, ground spoilers activate, and, even though disconnected, the autothrottle again clamped for alpha protection and would not idle out for application of reverse thrust. I was a heavy aircraft with Vref 185 knots so, needless to say, when the throttle finally obeyed and relinquished, I had gone through the blast fence and was headed for a hangar which I unfortunately perforated at about 125 knots. I can't explain this behavior. I hit, several times, autothrottle disconnect and while rumbling down the runway would glance at it to observe it deviating to near full power then back to idle and them to medium power. During my hand flown pattern around to perform a manual landing, gusty winds and no FSUIPC wind smoothing option set had the airspeed loose 25 knots and I reached alpha whereby the flight computer commanded movement of the throttles and would mot relinquish control even when commanded to. I feel at this point I will have to take control from the aircraft on final approach to avoid this ever happening again. Imanual

I have been flying the MD11 for about a year now without too many issues. Recently I have not been able to complete a flight with the MD-11. At first I thought it was a scenery issue but I recently discovered that it is maybe an MD-11 issue. Every time I am within 5nm of the Top of Descent, FSX will freeze and stop responding. I then have to CTRL, ALT, DEL and force close the program. I do not have the pause at ToD feature selected. I have also uninstalled, redownloaded the installer package and reinstalled the MD-11 and ran the FSX Registry Fix tool, all without fixing the problem. Any ideas as I do not want to uninstall and re install almost 400GB of programs. Jason Spiskey

Being a devoted customer of PMDG since FSX and the B744 FSX version, I immediately purchased the NGX and lived thru all the upgrades til present. I was very impressed with the attention to system detail and like most of the rest of us, I was patiently waiting for the T7 release. But then someone mentioned the MD11 and I had totally forgotten about it. I knew it just hadn't been a big commercial hit for PMDG and I assumed it was because it was not up to their usual high standard of complexity. The only negatives that I was able to gleen from the forum, however, concerned cosmetics... the textures of the VC, etc., which meant nothing to me. With the exception of the NGX, which I do fly from the VC, I fly all my other simulations using the 2D panel and am more concerned with the accuracy of the systems and flight dynamics than the eye-candy. After studying the promo on the PMDG website I took the plunge (partially because it was being offered at a discount...couldn't pass that up!) I have spent the last couple of weeks totally immersed in flying the MD11 and I am very impressed. Everything about the model is superbly done...the systems, the flight dynamics, the failure performance, etc. I really cannot understand why any serious aviation enthusiast would have passed this one up! In many ways I find it surpasses the NGX. The plane responds on the numbers and the ability to load passengers in particular seats affecting CG is something present in the B744 and in this model but noticeably absent in the NGX. Another example is the lighting. PMDG has not realistically simulated the exterior lighting on the NGX model. The MD11, however, is just like the real thing. You can see the position lights bold and brightly from a distance and when in landing configuration with full night lighting you can see the light beams in the air and the lights are intensely bright. They also illuminate the runway surface AHEAD of the aircraft (not beneath it like the NGX). Very realistic indeed. While waiting for the T7, I highly recommend you try the almost forgotten and truly under rated PMDG MD11. It is a challenge and a pleasure to fly. Time to breath some new light in this gem. Just my opinion, of course.

so this problem happened when I first installed the PMDG MD 11, but some how it stopped, now after about 4 months it just struck out of nowhere along with some fatal fsx errors as well, I attatched what it looks like whenever you A. render from windowed to full screen, B. go outside the plane and turn the view C. select a new plane. Any help would be much appreciated!
