PMDG MD-11 released!

You know that PMDG 747 and 737-800 were my best airplanes ever, but now with PMDG MD-11 a new king have born!

The new MD-11 from PMDG is a hell of an airplane. It simulates the MD-11 in a way that I never saw on any airplane that I have flown with.

On of the things that I like most is the climb performance behavior. It's just great how the PFD shows all the information regarding to the speed range for the current flap setting, the V2 climb that is maintained by the thrust mode, and even the way you configure the step climbs on a long haul flight.

But, be aware that this airplane is not for newbies. It's hard, complex and you need to read something before flying it. Even the tutorial that is given by PMDG is very weak compared with the tutorials that PMDG made for the 747 (btw, they stopped at middle of them!).

Well, if you are thinking about a Christmas gift, then go ahead :) It surely worth all the cents spent!
