PMDG MD-11 (Legacy Version)

Hello PMDG, I was wondering if there is any news on the repaint kit are you going to wait to release it after the FS9 version is done or are they still having problems with it.Thank YouMD-11 First OfficerDVA5862 Eric Wade Joneswww.Deltava.orghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_trijet.jpg

Hi,Just wondering, as I haven't tried this yet: If I disable the GPS equipment option, will I get IRS drift and a map shift upon re-entering radio position updating range from a long overwater leg or similar?-Shaun

Hello,any news on an AoA DVD for the MD11?Rayen

Hi PMDG.Maybe you can help me about this:After reinstall on a new comp. I

I've managed to get as far as page 8 of the Tutorial but can't figure out how to act on the instruction to "Initialize ZFWCG".I've attached a screen print of what the current stage of entries in case it may be helpful.Cliff

Hi!Is there a way to set FMS to overfly a waypoint? I have not found any references at the manuals on how to program an overfly.CheersSchmid

Good day all. First let me say that I am not asking for a release date nor am I asking for an update on the MD-11 for FS9. ;) What I am asking is the differences between the two. Will there be different performance models for each engine type in the FS9 version? Please describe any differences between the two. Thanks in advance!- Jake

Ok, here goes...1) When I execute a G/A and follow the Missed Approach Procedure, the FMC cannot be re-programmed for a second landing. All of the fields on the APPR page are blank and so is the landing weight on the INT page? The FMC basically locks as if the aircraft hasn't yet taken off and I can't do anything..?2) When performing a Flap 35 landing, you can't see over the glareshield to fly a manual approach and landing? This is true even when landing fairly light. This obviously proves the realism of this program as the MD11 does fly the approach at a high nose-up attitude. But does anyone have a work around for the sim?3) When climb thrust is selected after takeoff t…

Hi,I would like to fly Approaches with the MD11 to famous Kai Tak (VHHX)which is still included in FSX.When I want to enter VHHX at the Init page of the MD11-MCDU it cannot (of course!) been found in the database ("not in database").Do you know if there is a way to edit the appropriate files for the FMS to include/edit VHHX data by hand? If so which file (.txt?) do I have to enter...?Thanks very much! :)

Greetings!I hope you all don't mind me posting this here. I thought it was appropriate, as I was flying the MD-11, although I am sure the problem is not a/c specific.I was flying from KPDX-KATL, not using SID's or STAR's. No problems all along the route.Approaching KATL, I received clearance for an ILS approach (I don't remember which runway), and started being vectored and descended. It got to the point that I was now flying away from the airport, and I thought the controller would swing me around and bring me back in, as there was considerable traffic in the area (Airline traffic density set at 65%; General aviation traffic density set at 65%).However, I countinued to b…

Page 8 of the Introductory Tutorial, when describing how to deal with the F-PLN page, instructs us to "Press LSK 1L next to EGLL to get you to the LAT REV page for EGLL.When I do so I get a message reading "Not allowed". How do we deal with this problem please? I've included an illustrative attachment. Cliff

Hi,Why is there a reverse flaps logic in MD-11 in relation to 747-400X and default fsx aircrafts?R.Czarek

I seem to be getting a very odd problem that

Is there any way that i can program the initial angle of attak in the MD11?? I got near stall in every takeoff. and lots of "Pitch protection" warnings.I takeoff with Flaps 22, cost index 80, and Flex 45. Also, i activate the nav, perf and autopilot right after takeoff

After installing the MD11 in FSX, it broke the 747. I lost the winglets, half the panel and the screens were blank. I re-installed the 747 and still the screens were blank, but got the panel and winglets back. So I thought I would check the MD11 and now those screens are blank too!!What I did notice after the MD11 install, it removed the pmdgoptions.dll from the modules directory. When I re-installed the 747 it put it back again.So is there a clash of dll's between the 747 and the MD11?Now I'm off to do another install of the MD11.Buzz.

Hello all,I've searched through the documentation but I haven't been able to figure this one out, so hopefully some of you can help:When I try to enter a pushback angle >90 deg in the "Menu shortcuts" section of the MCDU, I get a "FORMAT ERROR". Is there a way to put in, say, 120

Hi all,On loading an MD-11 from the "Free Flight" page, or from saved flights, the main panel will be gone (this is 2D mode). There is a gray outline where the panel and compass would be. If I click on known click spots, the popups appear, but they are gray also. Going to the menu bar to restore the main panel has no effect. Attempting to select individual items will have them pop up, but they are gray. In 3D mode, none of the controls work, but the main panel and all subpanels are there. The sole exception is that the DUs & MCDUs are gray - not blank, as in a validation problem, but gray.A simple way to reproduce this (for me) is to load up an MD-11 (say a GE) then o…

Hi,I hope that someone says that this question is already been asked and that it is on post ......If not: Does anyone know if and when the advanced / second training or tutorial will become online? Yes, I even do have ordered (and received) the manuals, but I realy do prefer the courses.Thanks,Goof,The Netherlands

hi!i'm enjoying this new plane it's a pleasure to fly.i have a few questions that i can't find in the manual i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction:1. how do you calculate the appropriate flex temperature for if you are underweight? in the tutorial they show 54C as an example but where does that come from? i'm curious how heavy i need to be before starting to move that towards outside tmep.2. is there a way to easily determine the radial for a flight point along your current path from a 3rd position? in radar contact you are usually cleared to 11k at 40nm from the airport. in the boeings i could create a fix from the airport using "/40" and then it would l…

Hi,I would like to place a distance from a WP at the ACT-F-PLN page according to page 27 (bottom) of the FMS manual, e.g. WP "Kumru" +20NM:Therefore I entered at the F-PLN page KUMRU/+20 and pressed LSK 4L at the MCDU. But all I got was a "Not allowed" error...no matter if I enter it at page 1 or page 2 of the ACT-F-PLN... What am I doing wrong here?Here is the MCDU situation: Thans very much! :)

Hi PMDG team can you do some update for fs9 version? What point you reaching? i hope we have this bird in november

Hi,I would like to practice touch & goes...:Immediately after touching down in landing configuration (Flaps/slats etc.) - while idle power during flare - I give full thrust...There comes an aural warning (probably something because of landing configuration)...which I cannot clearly understand (as you of course noticed I am not native english speaking...lol):Could someone please tell me what the female voice exactly is saying/shouting after giving full thrust...?Thanks! :)

Hi,is it possible to clear (reset) all entries I made so far in the MCDU (MD11)at once because I changed my mind and want to fly to another destination. Where (which FMS page) is this possible...?Thanks very much!KR

Hi,I ve entered the flightplan into the FMS, everything is just fine. Do you know if it is now possible to follow the routing *on the ND* step by step (graphical: magenta line of routing) when still standing still at the departure airport...? If so how...?Thanks very much! :)

Folks,Anybody else having the issue that the wind direction and speed displayed in the FMS differs from what is displayed in the cockpit while in Map Mode ?My direction offset is up to 30 degrees between the FMS and Map Mode with the FMS displaying the more accurate data.Using wind smoothing in FSUIPC plus ASV 6.5ThanksJoerg
