New MD-11 available

[EHM-1465 Dominic]

For all you big iron jockies out there, there's a new MD-11 in town

No, PMDG haven't released their version yet!

 It's by Sky Simulations, a new company, and it looks pretty good from their pics:-

As always, it's worth waiting to see reviews and feedback from early purchasers as it could be a frame rate killer with all the graphic details they quote (walking pushback engineers anyone..?) but the VC and external model look nice.

It's at a good price compared to what PMDG are likely to charge so worth considering. I'm a big fan of PMDG but their MD-11 may still be some months off and I think it might not be FS9 compatible whereas this one defintiely is

I'll probably buy it myself if early reviews are any good, just thought I'd give you all the early heads-up

Looks nice, but taking the screenshots from PMDG, I think PMDG one will be better .. Also, i never like photo-realistic based panels ..

I am very tempted to buy the PMDG MD-11 because flying a 3 engine airplane is completely different from the 4's and twin engines ones.

Then you should start flying the DC-7 "Seven Seas" regarded as the fastest triengined propliner;)

She looks nice..... I bought the Wilco Airbus Series 1 Deluxe last week and although it's ok, I will not fly it in anger until some of the bugs have been ironed out.... I think I will wait to see how this one gets received as I may just wait for the PMDG release.

This said, I notice the Martinair is registered PH-MCP which is a plane I have flown on in real life so it might be worth getting just to add to my collection, although when I flew on her, she was in the old Martinair Livery flying EHAM-KMIA.

Looks really nice ! Although I think the PFD is modeled better at PMDG. The good thing is, this team gave a lot of last minute idea to the PMDG product
