Seriously, join our great Discord. We want and need you over there.
Allow me to first emphasize how thankful I am to have been included in the development of the TFDI MD-11 as a Quality Assurance Team member (read; unpaid intern!). I love this organization, and I have nothing but respect for their incredible development team. Oh, the product also rocks, and will get better and better with each passing revision. I have no doubt.
I have been waiting so long for the PMDG 777 and the TFDi MD-11 to make it to MSFS. I flew the PMDG 777 a lot on P3D, and I am part of the TFDi Quality Assurance team, so my dreams are coming true! Both of these airplanes are incredible, and both are "buy now" add-ons in my opinion.
I went over to P3D for the PMDG 777 as I was a real 777 Captain, and flying several aircraft on MSFS was affecting my job performance. On the other hand, flying the 777 on P3D actually helped me at work. No rap on P3D, as I really loved the honesty and performance accuracy of the study level PMDG 777. However, I am trying to build a following, and MSFS is by far the most followed, so I switched over to MSFS when I retired.
I am a 1958 vintage pilot with over 21,000 flight hours. I currently reside in Connecticut. I am a 1980 US Air Force Academy graduate and a seven-year Air Force instructor pilot. I have flown for a major US Airline since 1987 and I retired in September of 2023. I have been type-rated in the MD-80, B-737, B-757, B-767, B-777, A-300-600 and the MD-11. I am a recently retired (9/6/23) 777 Captain.
I have traveled the world and I have come to the conclusion that there is no place like home. It's been a great ride. I am very new to the MSFS and P3D world and I love it. Please feel welcome to offer any advice that you deem helpful.

My Dad retired 40 years ago, and in retirement got into building static models from scratch of the planes he flew, guess for the boomers retiring these days modern home simulators are the thing, I know my Dad would probably have gotten into these had they been around. It’s really cool watching you fly virtually Capt, thanks 👍
I’m sure that he would have loved the connection between man and “machine”. It’s a hard girl to lose!
@@FatherTime1958 To fully connect with your machine you should build your own custom PC dedicated to flight simming. In this case every single time when you switch on your customized computer it will feel truly special. ;)
Knocked out of the park, no need to apologize. Good stuff and I will hopefully use this tonight after I download from tfdi First flight will be LAX to JFK!
Always great to hear from you. I hope all is well. Talk to you tomorrow to see what you think. All the best. Jeff
Flew in and out of here many time with work, great vid,
Such a marvellous plane, nothing looks like this with these six big LCD screens in one row with the fascinating EICAS (or ECAM), the pearlescent gear lever. I have analyzed the quality of the cockpit a bit this time, and it´s superb. The backup artificial horizon ball inside the instrument looks ultra-high-polygon perfectly round shaped, instead of an ugly low-polygon hexagonal or octagonal horizon ball inside - so far only the Fenix Airbus is the only other plane with a backup ADI in such high polygon count.
The other details inside the cockpit like the circuit breaker 3D models, the seats and seat headrests are also a high polygon 3D model and with superb sharp and crisp textures.
Sooner or later the outside 3D model will get a lot of polishing too, similar to the Fenix V2.
I hope more classic jets from the eighties will get released like the 747, my personal favorite the 757 is already made in very promising quality by BlueBird Simulation. On the more modern side the iFly 737 MAX screenshots look outstanding, and the FlyByWire A380 too.
After all these years only having the Fenix Airbus finally there is a new wave of interesting airliners rolling in! :)
Let’s go! I needed that overall positive review, because I love this complicated and beautiful classic.
Thanks for the thorough walkthrough captain!
Thank you, and thank you for taking the time to comment….it really helps
Great video, It's nice to see someone expert on the aircraft showing us all how to properly operate the aircraft
@@hpharold23thank you!!!!
Very informative. Looks like I will be going back to this videos to get more details. I can’t absorb everything in first try but it is very cool information to learn. Thank you sir!
@@vitalyandryushin9918 thank you so much for taking time out of your day to comment. It keeps me motivated!
I'm so happy i found your channel. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and teaching us stuff. But we really need to get you a new computer. The stutters from the "big Queenstown package" was hilarious but i bet its very annoying for you. With frame generation its a whole new sim and you can crank up the settings and its buttery smooth. Its expensive, but totally worth it. Again, thanks!
I’m trying a few things first, but I did research getting a new one for $4k
You got the easy approach. I lived in Queenstown for a number of years. Stunning part of the world.
I wish that I could see it for real. I gave myself the easy approach with no missed approach! I’ll save that and the engine out figure eight for later!!!
@@FatherTime1958 Nice, thanks for featuring NZ. I haven't had time for flight sims for a number of years since I started my own career in aviation (CPL-H), enjoying your content thank you.
NZQN - NZMF is a great VFR flight in something a lot smaller. Fly down the coast from Queenstown and up Milford Sound to the Airport.
What a cool approach! Do you livestream? Thanks for the video as always
I have live-streamed, but I have to be honest, I enjoy my Discord way more when it comes to interaction. Streaming would absolutely blow up my subs, but I found it very stressful, and it often corrupted my “lesson-plan”.
As an MD-11 pilot, do you consider this aircraft a good addon? I'm reading a lot of people complaining and calling it garbage, but I trust your word more.
@@Here_Up I honestly do consider it to be a good add-on. Naturally, you probably need to set the pitch sensitivity to -50 to -60, as it is currently too sensitive. I fly with mine on default, but I’ve been testing it for 10 months. The MD-11 is an inherently different flight logic to understand when you’ve been flying Boeings or even Airbus’s, but once you get used to it, and it does require studying and practice, you’ll love it. The TFDI team is committed to improving the current model, just as PMDG will continue to improve their 777. However, the 777 is an easier plane to pick up and fly. It is in real life, and it is here. I hope that presents itself as an honest answer. There is a lot of MD-11 talk in the TFDI Discord site and on my Discord, and people are helping each other understand the airplane.
Can’t wait for this beast of a machine to release on Xbox I am getting a pc around September so my sim experience will be better, and also getting the Thrustmaster Boeing yoke and the honeycomb bravo throttle for Christmas. The MD-11 is one of my favorite planes, my favorite is the A350 and second is the 777. I wish I could fly the MD-11 when I become I pilot but it’s gonna be retired by that point unfortunately. Also just wanted to tell you that I love your videos and watch them ALL of the time 🤣🙃. I’m gonna join the Air Force and then go into commercial flying, I’m probably gonna fly cargo or tanker in the Air Force. my dream airline is either Delta, Air France, or Qatar Airways. And also my Grandfather was a ATC at George W. Bush intercontinental from either 1986 or 1987 to 2015 or 2016. His Callsign was “MudBone”.
I envy the promise of your future. You've got this my friend. Just decide now that you want it and then let nothing stand in your way. Ignore the naysayers!
@@FatherTime1958 Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate them, some of my friends think that it’s kinda weird that I wanna be a pilot at 13 but I don’t care what they think. I’m gonna do it and nobody is stopping me now. I’ve talked to a few pilots and they say it’s definitely a career you’re born to do.
You got this.
Hi! For the frame drop during final approach, what helped me out a lot was to delete the rolling cache of msfs and the nvidia shader cache as well. Maybe it's worth trying?
Loving the video's though! As a new sim pilot, I'm curious why it's necessary to be configured so early? I'd be you'd be burning a lot of fuel with all that drag out!
I just deleted the cache. As for the early configuration, I was pretty clear in the video. There are many situations in the real world, when the cockpit becomes intense, the task becomes clear, and the crew members both know that a curving and arcing RNAV approach NEVER has fuel conservation in the air, but rather extremely early stability to minimize the possibility of a go-around into mountainous terrain( even in VMC). If you were flying the airplane in these conditions, and even remotely hinted at fuel conservation, the Captain would take the airplane or order an early, stabilized approach. Love ya buddy, but sometimes the real-world dudes take over.
Good video. Let me ask how this plane affects the msfs frame rate. I noticed in this video and in Mustafa's video that there is a lot of stuttering and reduce frame rate.
Honestly, I don’t know. I have so many scenery packs, and the inibuilds jfk is brutal. I have no frame drop-off under normal configurations with the TFDI MD-11.
@@FatherTime1958 Yeah, I just want to make sure is not the plane. You only have 16GB of memory and run a bunch of programs on the side. That's probably it.
where did you post the holding basics pdf at 1:22:09?
Nevermind i saw them on your discord. Thank you so much 🙏
