PMDG MD-11 (Legacy Version)

Greetings, all.Forgive me if this has been answered before. Just purchased and installed the MD-11 this weekend as well as the AOA training vids. So far so good from the 2D and VC cockpits. All seems fine there. The problem arises when I change views to anything external. All I'm seeing is the outline of the aircraft and the shadows on the ground. When first switching to the spot camera, the actual aircraft shows up for a split second and then just doesn't show any textures/paint. Same for all the remaining external views. I cycle back to the cockpit and all is well again.Specs are below my sig but just so you know, I'm running DX11. I have a feeling this could be…

After reading the High Altitude Takeoff thread just a moment ago, I quickly asked myself this question and posted this hoping for an answer:What are yalls favorites legs to fly? And why so?From difficult SID/STAR procedures, tough landings themselves, airport locales, enroute sceneries and challenges, VATSIM controllers always online etc. what is one of your favorite routes and what factors make it so?The diversity of experience on this forum for FSX is unparalleled. My impression is that this forum has so many people which have got some gems they fly all the time for certain reasons but simply haven't discussed them on this board.Thanks for all replies - really hope t…

Hi. I recently bought the KSFO scenery from Flightbeam and have run into an issue where at about 50 feet on runway 28L the PMDG MD11 crash. I can only reproduce this error with the PMDG MD11 on a manual landing, not the autoland for some reason. I'm already in contact with Amir at Flightbeam, who has been very helpful, but because he can't reproduce the error and it only happens for me with the PMDG MD11 (manual landing) I thought I'd post about it here to see if any of you guys have run into the problem. The problem occurs no matter whether I have crash detection turned on or off, but with it off the plane drops to 0 feet AGL where I would've had a game ending crash …

Posted 06 April 2009 - 08:09 AM Peter-Okay- <hatchet buried>.We've been seeing a bit more imperiousness of late- so your post rubbed me the wrong way. The issue here is that we have something to the tune of 30 lights on the MD-11 model. As a result, we have had to use a different method to provide a dome light- and while the dome light on the airplane is powered by the Hot Bat Bus, the effect that we are using is tracking a hard-coded flag within FSX that turns it off when an engine isn't running.We worked around this for the v1.10 update- but this introduced a RAFT of other problems- and we elected to put it back. Sometimes- the original method really was the best …

Um, it looks like we may have missed something during beta...:( or maybe its an idea for airlines to make special projections on their tails now. That would be cool! A new way of advertising!:(BTW, this is the FSX version.

I'm not sure if I've seen a definitive answer to this yet. Thanks in advanceChris Hicks

Hi all! I fly PMDG B744s and MD-11 in FS2004. Anyone out there knows of a PMDG MD-11 and PMDG B744 panel merge with FSWXR2100 weather radar? I think that PMDG panels are great but they just lose out in the small area of realism by not having a working weather radar. Even if the weather engine in FS2004 is not accurate, most FS users would like to have a working weather radar with their long distance flights. I belive this topic has come up before and PMDG has maintained that they did not include in the weather radar due to "lack of realism". I personally feel it looks less realistic without the working weather radar. Anyone can help?Best regards,Darren LiewSingap…

G'day all, anyone out there know how to adjust the clock on the MD-11 ND????John Davis

The screenshot below was taken from a MD11 in Canada north of Montana and that is why I am posting in this forum. I am not looking for a solution just a name. The land looks bizzare with row after row of whatever. Would this probably be a texture, mesh resolution, mesh complexity or whatever?Thank youMichael Cubine

When I do the checklist and get ready to start the engines there is an error message that says start air pressure is lo. I am using the APU with NI and N2 at 100 percent and EXT power disconnected. Any help would be appreciated.ThanksDon

hello all,Just wandering a good way for setting up reverse idle, via FSUIPC using my Saitek throttle quadrant. I understand the SOP for landing the MD-11 or pretty much any aircraft is- full reverse thrust to 80Knots then Idle reverse to 60KnotsI have the throttle on my saitek yoke set through FSUIPC so that when I pull the lever down into the reverse zone it activates a hold button press for F2. But I'm unsure of how to set idle reverse.Help is appreciated greatfully as usual.

Not sure if this should go here but I've recently watched the video for the VOR into Zurich runway 34, approach by Angle of Attack, however when attempting this in FSX, I’m running across a slight problem. When i enter the BLM1Z Star and VORD34 approach into the MCDU and insert it, the flight plan has BLM at an alttitude of 12000FT and Gipol at an alttitude of roughly 130363FT i was wondering when pressing the insert button is it advised to press the corresponding RSK next to Gipol to insert that into the FMS or return to the Flight PLan page? Many ThanksLewis

FSX SP2/Accelerationwin 7 64 bitI've had the MD-11 for the last few months and I never got the chance to post this problem that I've been having. On the MD-11, no matter what texture I choose, the given ones or the addons I downloaded, there are no aileron or flap movenments on the wing. the rudder is animated just fine but the speedbrakes, the ailerons, nor the flaps show any movement.

I can't seem to get the landing gear to extend after getting 3 reds on the console. I lost total pressure on the #3 hydraulic system and the alternate pumps did not activate in the 'manual mode'. I did push the release button near the landing gear handle but the gear did not extend and the lights remained red. Does anyone know how to get the gear to extend in an emergency situation?jack noulet

For you MD11'ers that might being flying the KLM MD11 into 'Frisco'.http://www.flightbeam.net/Spend the night at the airport, the night textures are spectacular.

Hi,Question: is any of you experience engine startup soundissues? … More precisely, after opening the valve, the engine starts spoolingup but when I turn on the fuel switch, there is a short (1 sec) stutter/interruptionin the spool up sound. It happens when starting all three engines, both PW andGE. I ignored this thinking it’s not a big deal (which really isn’t, don’t get me wrong) until Iwatched Chris Palmer’s AOA videos and there’s no problem there…Could this be a Creative driver issue (I have the X-fi gamercard)Thanks all,Stefan Ticusan

Hello,Hopefully someone can help me. I just purchased the MD-11 yesterday. When I load Fs2004, all I get on the main panel are green x's. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the package with no luck. Searching through the forum, I have seen other users with the same problem and have tried their fixes with out any luck. Hopefully someone will be able to help me. I am running Vista 64 home premium if it helps.Thanks,John Regan

Dear Painters,anybody can help me ?I searching a paint for the MD11X in Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Colours, i know it is fctional, but it makes me happy.Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much for your help :(

All,I have a slightly odd issue with the MD11 in that I get out of memory errors when running on Windows 7 64-bit.I own all of the PMDG add-ons for FSX (J41\747) and have not experienced any of these issues with these planes or any other. I tend to get the error after 40 minutes or so of flying and when running in windowed mode I can see that memory for fsx is hitting 3gb which is not unusual and normally past that level with most add-ons.My system is a quad core Q9400 overclocked to 3.36GHZ, 4GB memory (Kingston HyperX).What I have seen of the plane is breathtaking and I thought the J41 was good, this is amazing!Thanks in advance,Chris Stanhope

This may be a topic touched on elsewhere and if so I apologize. In my MD-11 the VNAV does not seem to engage. I originally set the altitude to 10,000 but when I engage autoflight the altitude does not change to programmed cruise altitude or blank out like the HDG and SPD indicators do when referencing the FMC. I have a cruise altitude entered in the FMC but the aircraft will only climb to what is manually set in the altitude window. The LNAV and Auto Throttles seem to work okay.What am I doing wrong?Thanks in advance,OSG

Took a Long flight from Honolulu to New Tokyo today. Yes I know there are Jaggies. Time for a new Computer :)

hello everyone,I recently purchased Aerosoft-PMDG-MD-11X boxed edition for FSX. I am very happy by the work done by pmdg to develop this magnificent bird. Since, it is different from boeings we need to start all over with basics again.I followed the tutorial 1 exactly as it was written to conduct a test flight from EGLL to LSZH. It all went fine until landing, the tutorial states to make an autoland so I did everything as per it. The point where I am stuck is, the Localizer (LOC) doesn't captures the ILS RW 14 and as a result APPR/LAND button don't work even after hitting. I uninstalled, reinstalled, did the same thing countless times but I always end up with the same res…

hi teamafter the releasing of 737NG, any hope for a small patch (like the simcheck A300 that allow u to active or not the glass texture) for the glass texture for the virtual cockpit (sad see that big windows without glass) and a MD11 profile vibration for edzok camera?regardsdavide lee

Having installed all liveries from the disc as well as downloading from PMDG, why can I only get the 'standard' call signs e.g. World Travel, Soar etc? If I load a Swiss MD-11 I'd like a Swiss call sign, or KLM and so on. The call sign options menu has not changed following downloads.Any ideas? Thks
