Some buttons on glareshield in FS9 version look as they had been labeled twice:http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q31/eha...mage0901080.jpgTRFC, DATA, WPT, VOR/NDB and APRT just don't look good. Moreover, some labels are magically "floating" above respective button, as here on co-pilot side:http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q31/eha...mage0901086.jpgCould it be fixed in future update?Best regards,Dymitr

That's very nice, where can I obtain it? The update avaible at PMDG site is dated to 09/01/09 and doesn't fix that problem in all the models.Best regards,Dymitr

Both installers were updated to install a Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable that is required to operate this software. On x64 systems you get TWO installations, on x86 systems you just get one. Make sure you install the redistributables if the installer requests it!

The update installer with my Vista 64 installation asked to do either a repair installation or uninstallation of the VS2008 redistributable on the first instance. I'm guessing users can just cancel in that case, since the redistributable is already there?RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

Those fixes were included. Try uninstalling your product, and then reinstalling using the updated installer.Best,VinPMDG

I purchased PMDG MD11 for FSX soon after it came out in 2008. I've installed it in FSX on my PC running XP Pro. The location of my FSX installation is the M drive. The MD11 works fine, the Load manager also works with no problems. However, when I try to install the update for FSX, I get a popup with an error message "This setup has detected that no version of PMDG_MD11_FSX is installed. This update requires that a previous version of the application be installed." I don't know if your update installer is suffering from myopia? or maybe the presence of an FS9 installation (without PMDG MD11) is confusing it? Hopefully you can suggest a solution other than reinstalling the product.ThanksDavid Jones

Yes thanks for the patch.I too find the DOME lights no longer work in the VC. And the "thunderstorm" lights look worse than before the patch.

Ttry using the emergency lights as the dome light works great.

It appears that either I didn't install the update properly or those fixes weren't applied to all models and the patch available as separate download at PMDG main site is incomplete and we need an updated update :( I didn't have enough time to download and check the updated installer, but I made a comparison between the models:GE Passenger - good quality of the glareshield (upper part of the picture)PW Passenger, GE Freight, PW Freight - a bit strange lookThank you for your attention!Best regards,Dymitr

Captains-I have just made live the PMDG MD-11 v1.10.0051 for BOTH FSX and FS2004!This update brings both the FSX and FS9 versions to parity, includes a significant number of updates for the FSX version, and slightly more than a dozen for the FS9 version.

Dear Randazzo,I have been loving PMDG from 737/600/700/800/900, 747-400/400F and 747-400X. I have gotten MD-11 FSX now and felt something new. It's great but, at the first, the Pre-Formatted Cockpit Views (PILOT INTRODUCTION 0.00.55) are all wrong! I have been disappointed. What has happend?Sincerely,Kan-ichiro FushiharaP.S.I can edit the aircraft.cfg [Cameradefinition xxx]. I would appreciate it, if you could teach correct values of InitialZoom, InitialXyz and InitialPbh.

I can confirm this... I have been using the GE freight variant a lot in LH/GEC clothing... I will check the GE passenger variant later to see if that is improved.I installed the patch update over the original installer, as I was unable to get the new full installer in time before my link expired...Perhaps the fix wasn't added to all models? My speculation...Andrew

It's not broken. It's just a feature we did not include in the FS9 version. This will not change.VinPMDG

HelloAre you eventually just develop the 3 zoomed screens PFD ND EAD at the same time ? as in the 747 ? it will be so great so nice !! Is it so difficult to add just this option in a little update ? many thanks regardsPatrick

[stevenp 1]

Are you all working on another patch to get the little stuff fixed in fsx. I.e. the domelight and etc. When do you think you will all have it ready by? Not a big deal and I won't care if you don't meet that deadline. :(

I have the same problem with the buttons. I have installed MD-11 with my existing installer which I downloaded on the 1st day the product was released, and updated with the current update.Talking about FS9 version.

[Guest yoavcool]

hello I have just installed the update, and after that the simulator doesn't work.the TERRAIN.DLL is erased, and ALL the MD11 folders are erased.after the uninstalation and installation of FS9 I couldn't reinstall the MD11, because the System tells me that the update is still on the computer, and cannot be installed!so how do I remove the update?

I guess you should try to buy the MD-11. This happens with pirated copies...
