PMDG MD-11 (Legacy Version)

Hello gentlemen, I have used the MD-11 hundreds of times with FSP and never had issues until recently. The only thing I know that changed in my setup is I am now running Windows 7, the addition of TrackIR and possibly the higher res from the Trip2Go of 5040x1050.The problem is that there seems to be a "Max Window" limit in FSX and FSP needs a couple of these windows for it's own program to run. The MD-11 seems to be taking all or most of these "Windows" (Sorry but I don't quite understand this and am learning as I type).I have posted this in the FSP forum here, and await reply to my last post but as you can see in the post have been told it is because PMDG uses so many …

I'm having a hard time slowing down the MD-11 after touchdown. In several videos, I saw the pilots call for "medium" or even "minimum" autobrakes. If I do this in my plane, I'd overrun the rwy if I'd let only autobrakes do the job - that's for both menu option settings for brakes strength, and e.g. at VHHX (11+k ft rwy) with approx. 370 pax and 20K lbs fuel (i.e. more light weight). To make use of the ultimate high speed exit, I regularily need to fully depress and hold the manual brakes. Cannot think that's "correct" - brakes will probably get very hot this way... BTW, autobrakes work well, they just produce too less effect IMHO...Andreas

Hello everyone, if you know which system to use the MD11? metric or imperial? I do not know whether to set kg or lb ...PMDG on a tutorial I found everything in kg, while a second is all in lbs.for more realism of the MD11, which setting should I use?thank

On my past two flights I have experienced random shutdown of engines 1 and 2. The first time it happened in cruise flight, and I followed the QRH to restart the engines in flight. The second time it happened after landing when I was taxiing off the runway. I have a registered version of FSUIPC, I use FS2Crew, and ASE for the weather. I have not changed anything recently and I have all failures disabled because I fly on VATSIM. Air, fuel, and hydraulics have all been on auto when this occured. This is in FSX w/ Acceleration and Windows 7 64.

I have been a flight sim enthusiast since the Sub Logic days. I finally found in my heart (and wallet) to spend the $$$ for the PMDG MD11, and all I can say, is why did I wait this long? It is a gorgeous aircraft, and my framerates are the best ever, on my mediocre system. I have just finished Tutorial 1 (EGLL - LSZH), and have a question, which stumped me for a few days. The current AIRAC cycle from NAVDATA shows the approch into LSZH as BLM2G, as opposed to BLM1G, as referenced in the tutorial. The MD11 would start descending from FL 370 at the proper time to FL 200 (instead of FL 150 for BLM1G). At nine miles before the BLM VOR, we are supposed to resume the descent, a…

Hi,I have downloaded extra liveries from pmdg but they do not show up on the preview screen( I have fs9 and WIn 7 64).The textures are there and also the aircraft config.I did the same for cargo planes and these work fine.The wide screen works for cargo but not for pax plane!!!Is there a corrupt file somewhere?I must add that the aircraft works fine.AlainV

I was trying an engine failure in the MD-11 and when I tried to enter a new destination by clicking the key next to my next waypoint and entering a new destination(in this case the departure airport, KLAX), the FMC's screen had a bunch of odd characters pop up and subsequently CTD'd attributed PMDG_MD11.dll

Good afternoon all,I have been having a slight problem with the MD-11 for FSX. I purchased the product over the weekend and was wondering why the engine sounds dont seem to work? Every other addon that I have works perfectly fine.For example: I loaded the aircraft at RJBB with engines running, ready to go. I can hear the internal sounds, packs etc, but cannot hear any of the engine sounds. (even at full throttle).- No engine sounds in VC- Only *some* engine sounds in external- I get full sounds in Wing View.- PMDG sound settings set to Normal- FSX sound settings set to 100%Seems that the position of the camera or (Pilot's view) determines when the sounds appear. It's diff…

Hello,I recently bought the MD11/MD11F FSX package, and I installed it on a FSX + Acceleration clean instalation.However, I noted that the aircraft, when taxing, always deviate to the left, forcing me to always make corrections to the right. I thought about joystick calibration problems, but I tested taxing after disable all joysticks (CTRL + K command on my FSX), and the problem continued.I thought that after disable the joysticks, the command surfaces of uncalibrated joysticks may have stayed out of its center positions, and I decided to apply CTRL + K (joysticks off) command and, after, I decided to center all surfaces via keyboard (NumPad 5 command), but the problem c…

Hello AllI have recently had occasion to re-install FSX as a result of a switch to W7x64.I am now in the process of installing MD11.I have installed the original MD11 download file, plus the updates and the liveries I wanted.Now the original PMDG aircraft show up in FSX and I can select and fly them.However, none of the additional liveries show.The additional liveries show in the PMDG_MD11 and MD11F folders under the simobjects airplanes folder.The aircraft.cfg files show them as "aircraft" if you see what I mean.Any thoughts?What have I failed to do?Many thanks in advance.Stuart Brett

Greetings all,Is there a way to program the MCDU to cross a fix at a specific time? During the Cross The Pond event, I was told to cross a waypoint "not before 1410Z". Besides the obvious answer (slowing down and watching the PROG page to see when the expected time for that fix changes), is there a way to specifically enter a crossing time for that fix? Many thanks.

Hi;I currently use the PMDG 737 series with hardware from CP Flight - namely the 737 MCP, EFIS and radio instruments.Does anyone know whether the MD11 software will sync with this hardware?Trying to dtermine this before I buy the MD11. Thank you, Iain

Hi,Just starting my adventure with this bird. Fantastic aircraft from PMDG.I did some first flights, still learning.My question is about debriefing - how can I calculate optimal Flight Level for particular loud?I assume trip long enough so that we are not limited by short distance.I know I can see it on CDU after Weight Init, but I think it's more realistic to put it to flight plan before we get into cockpit. I always do it for other a/c.I thought it was function of gross weight, but when I started to play with different combinations of fuel and pax loads, I don't get "stright" results from FMS, so probably CG matters, or maybe some other factors should be taken into acco…

G'day everyone,Can someone please help me, I recently installed REX 2.0 for FSX and since then my MD-11 (and other AC) taxi and landing lights are not working properly, they don't light up the ground ahead of me anymore....a light area of light appears on the ground a fair distance away off to my 2 o'clock...ive checked "ac light illuminates ground" in fsx settings.Secondly, does anyone know how to use the dial a flap system....i usually leave it at its default setting of 15deg...my question is how do i know if i should set it to 17deg for example.....based on weight and such is there some way of knowing?Have posted my lighting issue on the REX forum but didn't get much o…

Just curious: Is there a reason why, in the FS9 CF and freighter paintkits, the PMDGMD11F_Right.psd file is layered but the left side isn't? Both sides are layered in the pax version but not on the freighters. Is this an ooops or am I missing something?I realize that the paintkits are not supported by PMDG but any help or ideas would sure come in handy....from anyone. ;)Thanks,Bill Alderson

I'm having a problem in MD11. When I put the runway in the FMS, the screen shows another approximately 20 degrees to the right. The program is paid and also the AIRAC. What is the problem. Can someone help me

Yesterday during a flight I had the failure rate set pretty high and encountered a caution light that turned into a low oil pressure reading of 9 psi on the gauge. However, I did not shut down the engine because the oil temperature was in-line with the other engines and the EGT was within the normal range. I did have a subsequent engine failure and was able to land at the nearest airport. Is this type of scenerio programmed within the MD-11 software? If so, the NGX is going to be very hard to beat this beast.Regards,jack nouletSorry about that.....I should have stated that I DID NOT have a subsequent engine failure....:( Regards,jack noulet

Just finished building a new computer. The specs are below. After a couple hours of flight the textures start disappearing in the MD-11. Never had this problem with my old system.

I like to know if anyone is using trackir 5 to flight the md 11.

I have had a repeated problem with the autobrakes on my MD11. As soon as the aircaft touches down, the autobrakes disenagage. I have CH pedals with tow brakes - could the sensitivities be too high ? Any ideas would be appreciated.ThanksRichard Foreman

Hi communityI have a strange issue when having PMDG airplanes like the MD11 or the JA41 installed. It blanks out and does not show me the PMDG Options Menu and Sound menu in the top task bar if I am installing add ons which use FSUIPC. the PMDG menu shows me only the about page there but no options and sound menu...I am running Win7 64 bit with a high end computer and full registered version of FSUIPC for FSX, also ASE,REX2.FSInn and Copilot (also seem to trigger the issue)...I normally install the FSUIPC first then all other addons after a fresh install of FSX with acceleration package. However, When i install add ons I have to reinstall the MD11 or 747 or the JA41 to pr…

I am looking for an repainting expert to create for me a usaf arial refueling tanker in the usaf livery using the md11 as the base model. in grey and white scheme and also in the airforce grey too, any tanker squadron logos would do. Im willing to pay real money for this project. any takers contact me via e-mail. [email protected]. This is serious business. thanks for any consideration. Edd Jones.
