PMDG MD-11 (Legacy Version)

Left clicking on the "SD" button while in the cockpit view (not virtual cockpit) brings up the EICAS menu. But when you toggle it, the window does not dissapear as it did before the updates. Are PMDG management aware of this issue? Thanks. TJ

HELLO EVERYBODY i have a problem with my MD11 i want to start all my flight by using a cold and dark panel state but, i fs doesnt save my md11 flights. when i save a flight with a cold and dark panel. when i come back to charge my flight the engines are already running i dont know whats wrong!!!!!Can you help me guys thanx?

Hey,I'd like to know if there's any way to assign a keystroke to the COM frequency changeover button? It would help when told to contact departure (on vatsim) if I didn't have to open the window and mouse over there. FS has a default key set (x), but this doesn't work on the MD11.Any help would be appreciated.Paul

Hi,is it possible to restow the RAT/ADG while on ground without reloading the aircraft.I searched the manuals and the forum, but wasn

Greeting friends,Is it possible to create a DME arc to display on the EHSI like in the PMDG 747 ??if so please guide me on how to accomplish this taskthanks a lot.Paul Glinston

Hi, I love the MD-11. Is there any chance, that in the next patch there will be a outside sound when the APU ist running. This will make it more realistic.Roland

I was wondering if the LSAS system being implemented by the PMDG team provides for dynamic pitch stability below 15,000 ft altitude? I believe initially that this was not available on the early versions of the MD-11, but was later made a standard feature on the aircraft. Regards,jack

Could you explain how to load the ballast fuel. I am really having a tough time getting it right. perhaps give some examples. thanks.Peter Osborn

Hi Captains.I was flying

Hi allI have a little problem with the 2d cockpit of the md-11 for FSX, there are on a few places lines that are not really look good.also in the FMC ( flap) there are a few lines that seem to be broken. I have already searched the forum but could not find an answer. Did not reinstall ( it maybe could resolve the problem ) because i just want to know what the problem is and solve it.I placed a screenshot so you know what I am talking about.BTW I have the downloaded combo version FS9/FSX

Captain,Although the LOC doesn't indicate center of the scale, the FD bars are centered and the landing is deviate from the runway!At the RJBB 06R: ILS-LLZ 108.1 IKD, 058

Hi,I installed the FS9 MD-11 in my vista only to find the engines running and the whole PFD,MFD and co blank,even though the engines are running and every other thing seems ok.what do i do to get them switched on,i hope its a problem i can solve with your help.thanks

Flea? Well I can hardly call it a bug, too small lolIn the 2d overhead lighting panel at night.... I pressed the MAINT INTPH button (top right of the 2 buttons) and it signals ON then if you press the CALL RESET button the part of the lighting panel with the MAINT buttons goes dark. (Or indeed the same happens if the whole panel is open)Perhaps I should state that this is with either the dome or storm lighting switch on. Easilly sorted by clicking off/on on either the dome of storm switches.Same as well if the MAINT INTPH button is switched on then off too followed by the CALL RESET button.Doesn't affect anything at all apart fron the light going out on the lower right ha…

HiI have just downloaded the MD-11 for FSX. I have saved it ( 158.7 MB ) and tried to access it. Default seemed to be Word - just came up a junk text. Then I tried Adobe which said that it couldn't be decoded properly.Does anyone have any explanation. I would be most grateful for any help.

Hello posting here as to see if any one can help me i recently purchased the pmdg md-11 and when i join a friends online multiplayer sesssion hes gets a fatal error message and a few other people on the sessions report the same thing soon as i join the session.i have tried uninstalling the md-11 and reinstalling and its still going the planes works perfect on my side no errors nothing any ideas???

Sometimes I find NO Approach (runway) data in the FMS. Sample: LPPR (Porto) It is no small airport with a runway length of 11.000 ft.I have done Navdata updates (cycly 0908) for MD-11 and FSC. All data is correct, also the FSX map shows correct runway data. Why does it show on the MD-11 FMS: "Appr NONE" ?Errol

HiI have questions regarding FSX MD11' FMS1.Occasionally, on the NAV page and after I select the landing runway the FMS does not automatically pick up the ILS frequency and course of the landing runway. I would be 20nm from the airport and info is not in yet.When I try to enter it manually I get error "Format Error" what is the correct method to enter ILS frequency and course mannually.2. On the fix page when I enter the fix I only get a small green circle around the fix point. Can I get a circle of say 22nm around that fix point as in the boeing aircarfts. for example in LDS767 I would enter LGA for a fix on line 1 and /22 on line 2 to help entering the ARC around the a…

How can the PW engine be changed from the default 60K thrust limit to 62K thrust (62,000 pounds of thrust)?CFM4-16-1-39A. MCDU Auto Thrust Limits page – Press SELECT 62K*.B. G/A Switch – Press during takeoff roll.C. WAGS event – automatically.D. All of the above. I never knew I could get the full 62K by pressing G/A on my throttleRegardsRob

i`ve just installed the update for the pmdg md11 for fsx....and when i tryed to start up my fsx an error ocurred that says.................SCENERY.CFG file error. local scenery directory (addon Scenery/SCENERY) in scenery area.115 not found.click ok to continue........................then i push ok and another window apears that say............fsx has detected a problem and has to shot down..............can anybody helpme...............thx in advance

HelloI know that flightplans can be stored in the fms, but I really dont know how to do that, I have been looking in the manuals but I have not find anything, would be great if somebody could explain me about thisAsier

Hello!!I've noticed that the cruising angle of MD-11 is usually around 2.6~2.8 degrees while flying at the FMS suggested optimal cruising altitude, with ECON cruising speed about Mach .825. Of course, if flying at faster cruising speed(Mach .84), the AOA reduced to about 2.5 degrees.I remember the cruising angle of Boeing 747 is usually around 2.5 degrees or even less while flying at optimal altitude and speed.Wouldn't the extra AOA generates more drag on MD-11 while reducing customer comfort? Or is it that because the COG of MD-11 tends toward the rear of the aircraft, it caused steeper AOA?

Hey gents, quick question regarding the speed controller on the approach phase in the md-11...I was inbound KONT yesterday and noticed something I normally havent and now that im playing with it some more it is happening each time. About 7 miles out and established on the LOC/GS and i am controlling my own speed through the speed select window. my VAPP was 145 and my VREF was 139. I turn the knob to 139 and pull, and in the display it still has 143 in magenta. It doesnt matter what i do, it won't accept my command for lower speeds. I have the printed manuals and have poured through them this morning, im sure its my misunderstanding of the AP but I cant find a reason why i…

On my last landing, I used LOC ONLY. When I was close enough to the runway, I pressed the autoland button, and DUAL LAND as well as G/S were announced properly, but the white LOC ONLY didn't go away. Autoland was performed perfectly, and I read in a manual that once LOC ONLY is active, it would stay, but is this true for a DUAL LAND situation as well?Andreas

I have a manual with procedures for normal takeoff. The paper says that when doing a FLCH below thrust reduction altitude by pulling the altitude knob, T/O CLAMP changes to T/O THRUST and automatic thrust reduction takes place at thrust reduction altitude.When I try this, CLB THRUST is announced as soon as the altitude knob is pulled below thrust reduction altitude.Did I misunderstand something here?Andreas

To better understand the MD-11, can someone please enlighten me:1.When I reach the T/D and stay at that altitude, it takes some NM until the vertical deviation indicator starts to move downwards on the scale. When dialing down the altitude and doing a FLCH at that point, it's easy to stay on the vertical path and keep the vdev diamond centered. When an auto descend is made at the T/D instead, the plane dives well below the vertical path and needs much time and distance until it finally intercepts the path again from below. So, the FLCH method looks more "elegant" to me, and I ask why the logic commands a dive when the "real" T/D is still miles ahead and what the reason fo…
