PMDG MD-11
Performance on “Less Powerful” Machines:
During the development
of the PMDG MD-11, we have continually tested the airplane on a range
of hardware setups to ensure that no design decisions will have a strong
negative impact on the frame rates of customers using machines that
are normally in the “mid range” of performance.
From the performance tuning menu, you can also elect to “Hide FO’s
Displays.” This will blank those displays and reduce the processing power
required to display all the visible displays in the virtual cockpit.
PMDG Sound Tuning Suggestions:
Sound Recommendations:
At PMDG we have put a significant
amount of time and effort into developing a sound package that is truly
immersive in nature. You will notice that each of the engine types for
the MD-11 sound different from the cockpit, and that the general cockpit
ambient noise level has been tuned for realism with the help of
experienced MD-11 cockpit crews. We have tuned the sound package
for optimum quality and realism, provided that you set your FSX sounds
settings up as we recommend below.
Keyboard Commands:
There are many functions within the PMDG MD-11 simulation which
users will find convenient to operate via keyboard commands, rather
than having to rely on the mouse and view changes during critical
phases of flight.
Some key commands that can be used are native to Flight Simulator,
and others can be chosen and assigned by you via the PMDG Options,
Keyboard Commands menu.
The native Flight Simulator keyboard commands that the MD-11 is
aware of are listed in the following table. Some of them you may
already know, but others are more obscure and are included here to
help you.
