PMDG MD-11
influence and drag models for our aircraft. Using this data, the aircraft’s
reference point is placed realistically ahead of the nose of the airplane as
per the manufacturer’s specifications. Most MSFS add-on aircraft use
the
erroneous MSFS concept of placing the model’s reference point in the
center of the airplane. This results in reduced realism and impacts
negatively the accuracy of the airplane’s behavior.
You should also pay close attention to the CG location when modifying
your load in the Load Manager. With the MD-11, it is very easy,
especially with freighters to set the CG near the forward or aft limits.
Consequently, in flight, the CG may slowly shift out of range, creating
adverse flight conditions for the airplane.
The PMDG MD-11 is programmed to correctly allow for ballast fuel use.
The subject of ballast fuel can be very complex for some simmers to
understand, and we will cover this topic in depth in a tutorial made
available at our site. Until that tutorial is available, please use caution to
keep your CG will within the CG limits as shown in the PMDG Load
Manager!
Do not use non PMDG visual Models:
The PMDG MD-11 has more than 1000 animated parts. With the
exception of a few basic functions, all part animations are controlled by
PMDG’s internal simulation operation and are not controlled by Microsoft
Flight Simulator. If you attempt to replace the PMDG MD-11 visual
model with a non PMDG model, you will lose nearly all animation and
function for the external model.
Engine Variants:
The PMDG MD-11 includes both the Pratt & Whitney and General Electric
engine variants. Each engine variant has its own unique sound set and
unique display instrumentation.
FSX Memory Use in Windows XP:
Generally speaking, we recommend that users run this simulation with as
much available memory on their machine as possible. It should be noted
that FSX is naturally limited to only using 2GB of available ram, but can
be modified to take advantage of greater physical ram on machines that
have more than 2GB available.
Warning: We recommend the following only for advanced users who are
comfortable modifying their computers for optimal performance!
