PMDG MD-11 (Legacy Version)

The holding page defaults to time and I can't find how to enter a distance for holding?

After the countdown clock finishes I select and load a specific panel and as I began to program the FMS through the 'initial" page and enter the last item of "cost index" I proceed to the next screen only to have the entire display go blank and it does not come back. The FMS head on the throttle quadrant is still showing it's operable, but when I select LSK L6 (shortcuts) the display blanks as well and I can't recover. I have not had a problem until today? Ideas?

Hi guys, I was wondering if those of you simmers out there who are experienced with the re-paint kit wouldn't mind putting together a fictitious re-paint of the MD-11 for FSX in Pakistan International Airlines colours? I have zero experience or knowledge of the R-PK tool, so I don't know how much effort goes into creating a livery. If it's too much to do, not to worry, I was just curious as because their fleet never consisted of MD-11's there isn't one to be found in the Avsim database or others. Thanks very much. :(

I have repaintend the body of my MD-11 ( BA 1) and saved in DDS.Everything looks OK, but at a certain angle a get green on the top. How can I fix this?See file enclosedErrol

Hi,Is it possible to have the clocks showing 2 different times in the md11 ? I would like to have one show zulu time and the other local time.If yes how do i do it ?ThanksMark(VII)

Hallo,i have send two e-mails to the "[email protected]" and i have no answer since 12.20 clock at 29.01.2009 up to yet.Thats more than 24H. What can I do?Rainer :(

HiCan anyone advise how to add the old Hong Kong airport to the MD11 FS9 FMC Database, so I can do some flights to and from this airport.Thanks Jason

I've just got a new set of speakers and WOW, what a difference. I can hear some beautiful sounds now, especially the cabin shaking when F50 are selected, very nice!I have one question, I can now hear a strange sound upon touchdown. It occurs upon main-wheel touchdown and then again as the nose-wheel makes contact. It sounds like a muffled trumpet, or to be a bit more crude, like somone breaking wind! :( What is it?Regards,Martin

I have just read the following excerpt from the MD11 manual: I'm not seeing this. Upon main wheel touchdown I see the spoilers extend to about 30deg (half). Full extension doesn't occur until the NOSEWHEEL makes contact with the surface?What is correct? Regards,Martin Neep

I've tried for the past 5 days to contact PMDG regarding a question I have. Perhaps one of you can help me?During my installation of the PMDG_MD11_FSX_COMBO_Setup.exe file I get the following screen prompt for info:Your e-mail address: [email protected] order number: xxxxxxxxYour password: xxxxxxMy question is this: What password is required? The password I use to log into My Account on PMDG's website? Any help will be appreciated. I'm dead in the water with no response from PMDG.Regards and thanks,Captain D.M. JarrettGHC

Symptoms: flying PMDG MD-11X or 747X products in dense graphical environments? black / corrupt display after swapping between windows and full-screen mode? no aircraft in preview window after finishing a flight? black screen when resuming flight? black screen on approach? By monitoring sysinternals some weeks ago some of us on this forum thought we'd traced this sort of problem to the high RAM usage of PMDG problems, but we couldn't solve it (though some people found workarounds - basically, turning down the graphics, or saving flights and re-starting FSX).It appears that we may have been on the right track after all:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953186Vista / Windows 2…

Hi all,About a week after downloading the MD-11 (10/13/09), the outside view showed this configuration of the a/c :( . I'm not sure how it got into this shape, but it landed at KBOS with all its parts in the right places.dan davison

Hey, I'm going crazy with full thrust takeoffs or guessing Temps.I could create a UTOPIA config file if I had a chart that gives minimum runway distance for a given weight,temp and flap.I did this for the Tinmouse using FAA runway length requirements and it worked pretty good.Anybody have a chart like this?Otherwise I'm going to have to make it using the analyzer tool and basically spend a whole weekend in front of the computer ...But you know, sometimes it has to be done! :)

Hey guys, just purchased the MD 11... first off I do want to say that it is a FANTASTIC plane!I am having a problem though, two separate flights, same route etc, I am getting an "out of memory" error from FS9. Normally I wouldn't trouble you guys with this sort of thing as its usually not related, however... the error is pointing at the "pmdg_md11.gau" file. Application Failure fs9.exe 9.1.0.40901 in pmdg_md11.gau 10.0.61355.58 at offset 0017a692..from the system event log:0000: 41 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 Applicat0008: 69 6f 6e 20 46 61 69 6c ion Fail0010: 75 72 65 20 20 66 73 39 ure fs90018: 2e 65 78 65 20 39 2e 31 .exe 9.10020: 2e 30 2e 34 30 39 30 31 .0.409010…

I've just completed the tutorial1 flight and everything worked as advertised. The PMDG MD-11 is, so far, a very well done simulation. Granted, I have not flown at night so I have yet to check out the lighting...a big problem for me with the PMDG 737's. The other thing I've noticed, and which is clearly stated in the documentation, is how completely alien to me the auto-flight controls are. Maybe I'm just used to Boeing's way, but, so far, I'm not a big fan of how MD does it...1. I find I have much less control over the various AP modes. Heck, I can't even find an AP button to turn it on or off! LOL!2. How do you fly a VOR radial? Granted, that's only available below 18,00…

Hi,I made a post a few days ago, and you told me to contact PMDG and say that it was a validation error. When i fixed this issue for the first time, i remember it had something to do with the "fonts" and ideas?Thanks.-Chad

I know I this has to be a huge operator error issue on my side. I am trying to have the aircraft placed at a gate at the panel config of ready to start engines. Exactly how to get this done has slipped my dead-cat like reflexes to this point.I load the aircraft at the gate I chose through FS9. The acft is normally running and ready for p/b after it loads in FS. So, I then go to the panel state option in the PMDG pull-down and load the "before starting engines" panel, however, the engines remain running and nothing changes. Now I know I have to be doing something drastically wrong here (prob bad habit transfer in doing it like other payware models that do it this way)…

Hi, I see the MD11's FIX page lets you specify a radial from the FIX but not a radius. I often find it useful to have a range ring around a FIX displayed on the ND, so does anyone know why that function doesn't appear to be available?CheersGeoff

Hello,I recently attempted a polar crossing in the MD-11 and it functioned by the book until around N85, that is it auto switched to TRU heading mode. At N85 I did not see any magenta ND annunciation of "FMS Track" as the documentation predicts. Additionally once I traveled within 2nm of N90 I did not see any indication that the aircraft had entered a Wings-Level mode. Instead the aircraft seemed to want to keep jerking to its right hand side until I was miles clear of N90.My question(s):Is the PMDG MD-11 able to cross the FSX poles in accordance with how the real aircraft acts north of N85?Is there still an issue with poles in FSX?Also congratulations on the release, she…

I open the load manager via window stat menu prior to load the aircraft and reset the weights and click save to file.and i reopen load manager again it's back to default setting why is that.and also i don't have a Kgs option in PMDG > General > Airline OptionDilip

I just got the FS9 MD-11 this week. I took it out a couple of times for a test drive, and everything worked normally. However; recently, everytime I try to load the MD-11, it comes up fine but there seems to be no power: engines off, screens blank, etc. I can turn the battery on and off with no effect. I can here buttons being pressed, and even get a few aural warnings with test switches. One issue I'm having is the fuel control levers are in the "run" detent. When I try to move them to "off", they come out of the " run" detent, but do not move down to "off". Nor can I get them to go back into the "run" detent.If this topic has been covered, I apologize. It's late…

I purchased MD-11 aircraft for FS9 and installed. But I Have two big problem. First: I set "After Engine", but the panel is dark and all system are out of order.Second: I set the fuel load 1/3, but I load in the airplane 46243 % fuel, and the aircraft is crash.Something idea?Thanx!Sorry! My MD-11 version is 1.1!

Maybe I somehow missed it in the documentation but is there any good advice on how to fly the MD-11 on a visual approach without having any slope indicator (VASI/PAPI) for the correct glideslope? I have little problems to land manually if I have a slope indicator - but there are some rather big airports without it. Anything I

hi folks, hi developers,i bought your MD 11 for FS 9. so far so good. i did my second leg with this aircraft today and got my first black screen !!!!! and that short off touchdown ( see attached pics made with my mobile ). in detail : aprox. 5 NM befor rwy treshold, flying through clouds with visibility < 1 mile ( fps 29, locked on 29 !!! ), the pc got a freeze and the scenery window went into a balck screen. i hadn

Hi!Please Vin! Can you tell us a release date for the paintkit MD11 for FS9? If the release date is, for example, on September 2019 :( , can you tell us how to convert FSX textures to FS9?I think that a lot of people is waiting for this paintkit, and a lot of VAs too. :(
