We generally recommend leaving this setting to 6,000ft, as this matches
the database of most airlines operating large aircraft.
Simulation Options:
There are a number of options that allow you to customize your simulation
experience to suit your tastes.
Panel Window Management:
The PMDG MD-11 uses a unique new
panel control logic feature to simplify the process of finding information in
the cockpit by allowing you to open only those 2D panel sections that you
really need based upon what you are looking for.
For example, in the 2D cockpit, while you are viewing the status display
screen. the fuel controls section of the overhead panel will appear on
screen if you elect to look at the FUEL status display. Switching the view
to HYDRAULICS will cause the fuel controls section to close and be
replaced by the hydraulics controls section of the overhead.
When you close the system status display, any displayed 2D panel
sections will also close in order to minimize the amount of work required of
the pilot.
To avoid cluttering the screen when you open some of the panel
windows, other windows that are already open might close
automatically. For example, if you have opened the radio/transponder
panel, and then bring up either the forward or aft pedestal, the originally
opened radio panel will close in order to prevent duplication and
cluttering of the screen.
There are circumstances where this auto-close feature may not be
desirable however, such as when you are using multiple screens and you
