Their B744 can take a hike, the MD11 is by far a more interesting bird.  Smiley

Yeh..but have they been telling eveyone that the 747 is coming out, by showing pictures...and yet we still don't have her...I can only hope for the day all these payware come out

Also arn't many airlines retiring the MD11...I would love to fly one maybe for FEDEX

Yeah, the MD11s remaining in pax traffic will slowly be converted to freighters, they are simply outperformed by the newer Airbus and Boeings when it comes to cost efficiency.

But the MD11 is a very fine airliner, though many feels it was uncompleted.

The MD-11 was/is a MX nightmare!

MX is "aviation" lingo for Mechanics. Silver probably meant the MD11 is a tough cookie to maintain and repair, I suppose  Smiley

I for one am probably going to have anything PMDG releases, even if its a plane I might not like in real life, though so far they havent released one I didnt like Smiley

Their attention to detail is second to none when it comes to the big birds.

Now they have about 4 weeks to get thet 747 out as thats about how long I have to heal my wrist lol

Im itching to fly my sim again.
 

My life is like the movie Office Space

Yes that is what I was saying.  That's the biggest and most common complaint about that aircraft I have heard...
