PMDG MD-11
ABOUT THE PMDG MD-11
The MD-11 is the third “from scratch” product that PMDG has produced
for the Microsoft Flight Simulator Community. In the five years since the
release of our first Microsoft Flight Simulator based product, the PMDG
737, we have spent many hours investigating and learning from reports
made by our customers. With an eye toward eliminating many of the
interface or simulation behavior nuances that our customers did not like in
our previous products, we feel that this product successfully expands
upon the strengths of our PMDG 737 and PMDG 747-400 product lines.
The MD-11 is a vastly different airplane than any previous PMDG
product, and we have compiled this documentation in order to provide
you with the best information to help you learn how to operate this
airplane effectively. We recommend that you read through these
documents without trying to retain all details on the first read. It is our
experience that even seasoned airline pilots will gain the most from
reading their manuals repeatedly over many months in order to learn
everything that is required of them in a new airplane.
We recommend that technique to all PMDG customers as well. Read,
learn, and enjoy the results of our hard work!
If you need help or require assistance, please use our customer forum
hosted at
www.avsim.com
in the forum section. The PMDG forum is the
best place to converse with like-minded PMDG customers and to learn
new tips and techniques to operating a complex airliner like the MD-11!
In the following section we outline some of the many options that we have
included to further your enjoyment of the simulator. Additionally, we
outline some of the “oddities” that you might come across within Microsoft
Flight Simulator, along with an explanation of their existence. We hope
you will find this information useful and that it will enhance your enjoyment
of the PMDG MD-11!
