## Description

PMDG MD 11X (PC) : desertcart.co.uk: PC & Video Games

Review: PMDG enters a new era - After years in the making, PMDG have finally entered the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 into service for Flight Simulator 2004 and Flight Simulator X, available either as a download or as a boxed CD. First impressions of the aircraft were very good indeed. The fine bump mapping produced dazzling reflections off the 3D StudioMax model as I panned around the exterior of the aircraft. Unlike previous PMDG products, the list of loadable panel states included a short and long turn around state which starts the aircraft with systems running and the APU and engines shut down. This is far more realistic since pilots rarely step into a `cold and dark' cockpit. Upon inspection of the flight deck I was welcomed with crisp, high resolution textures, bursting with detail. The background hum of the electrical systems completed the facade of being inside the real thing. Since the MD-11 was one of the pioneers of the glass cockpit (along with the A320), many of the old-style switches have been replaced with a plethora of soft buttons, all of which are modeled in this simulation. I found myself rewarded with a unique sound for every button, switch or lever I operated. The overall detail is fantastic. Systems-wise, the engine indicating system comes with all the respective synoptic displays showing crucial information such as fuel consumption, electrical information and a page listing diagnoses and their respective consequences. It was clear from the outset that PMDG have modeled just about every aspect of the MD-11's systems. What I also found useful was when scrolling through the system display pages the respective part of the overhead panel is displayed. The system detail in the PMDG MD-11 is very substantial. The developers have managed to recreate the intricacies of each system to the smallest detail. For example, when aligning the IRS the cargo fire protection system performs a self test. Programming the test flight was fairly straight forward as the FMC has aspects of both the Boeing and Airbus-style FMCs. During takeoff for first officer called out "Thrust set" as the throttles clicked into auto mode and fell under the wings of the AFS (auto flight system). The `clitter clatter' of the flight deck was audible as the aircraft hurtled towards Vr. Other callouts are heard throughout the flight which adds to the experience. Flying the aircraft manually is a truly unique experience. PMDG have simulated the LSAS to work according to its real life counterpart. Notorious for rewarding the gentle pilot and punishing the heavy-handed pilot, I experienced how the MD-11 can be terribly unforgiving. Despite PMDG's exemplary work on this add-on, there were a couple of minor issues that caught my attention. Unlike other add-ons, the PMDG MD-11's highly complex systems have to load after the flight is started, which takes around twenty seconds. In response to some peoples' comments that the MD-11 is a `frame rate killer', as long as certain display setting are tuned down most people shouldn't have any problems at all. I have found the display options most damaging to frame rates to be traffic and weather. Overall, I would definitely recommend the PMDG MD-11 as it is of the highest standard of flight simulator add-ons. It is quite expensive, but a worthwhile investment if you wish to have the definitive MD-11 experience!
Review: Dated Classic - I recently got back into FSX and decided to give the MD11 a look. When it came out, probably one of the most expensive add-ons ever made for the sim and still quite expensive now. It's aimed at advanced users but in point of fact that's a bit of a smokescreen as you can get up and running fairly quickly just having FSX load the flight with the default - i.e. engines running. You need to programme the FMC with your flight plan as GPS isn't supported, but if you're using default FSX ATC don't bother with SIDS and STARS as these aren't really necessary. Cockpit and visual models are good, but no cabin or wing views are a bit of an omission for those who like to be a virtual passenger for a bit. Sounds are okay but I as found quite often with all sim aircraft these sound more like the exterior sounds even when placed in an internal view. The panel doesn't save all that well, on resuming it takes around 15 seconds to load and the aircraft has suffered a massive altitude drop, which the sim has to recover from. I also found following a course the AP sometimes "hunting" flying the vector, i.e. flying left of the course then overcompensating to the right so on and so forth. In conclusion not bad, but still way overpriced and given the age of FSX in general now this should be on sale for < £20.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the boxed edition support FSXSE?**
A: The PMDG MD-11X is an add-on for the Microsoft Flight Simulator X only. That's the latest version. It doesn't work on the older one, the MS Flight Simulator 2004.

**Q: Does it come with any real life liveries?**
A: I believe you can download the liveries from PMDG's website.  Not 100% sure, but you can check.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PMDG MD 11
*by S***N on 18 February 2012*

While the textures may not be HD, as this is a fairly old product, this is a bonus for my older system. I have a 2.4Ghz (Conroe) dual core, 2gb ram and a 6850 with XP 32 bit and can run this no problem whatsoever (FSX). The systems replication is fantastic, but the real grace is the aircraft's superb flight model, it is an absolute pleasure to fly. I cannot recommend this enough, it is a necessary addition to one's hangar should one be looking for a high end, detailed addon.
