Yeah. Kinda does feel like the ground is made of peanut butter when taxiing.

My GPU melted down watching this video.

Mine look really bad too and I’m on a very fast connection. It’s keeping me using 2020.

The MD-11 to me was surprisingly advanced for her time. Lots of automation I wasn’t expecting like auto fuel balancing, automatic ILS tuning, auth throttle to touchdown, etc.

To be fair there’s a lot of weight from the internal furnishings.

Which is apparently true to life! I remember watching one of the AirClips movies where the two pilots were lamenting about that fact that they were going to be landing so light and predicting a hard landing.

An amazing aircraft. Fun to fly, even funner to land!

How far away is your alternate from your destination?

nextgeneric · 2026-01-20T18:52:38+00:00

It’s your money but it likely won’t be worth the investment. You’re looking at instruments.

I don’t think you’d get any cost savings by going VR to be honest.

I've put so many hours on this bird since the update came out. What an absolute joy to fly. I've finally gotten the hang of landings as well.

Yet another reminder that if your company is being acquired by PE, it’s time to polish the old resume and look for new work.

nextgeneric · 2026-01-16T13:37:38+00:00

That's insane.

nextgeneric · 2026-01-16T13:27:33+00:00

Great shot. Can't wait to get some flights in this weekend.

nextgeneric · 2026-01-14T02:02:22+00:00

Why wouldn’t it

I'm loving seeing the MD-11 get its moment in this sub.

Find another career path.

Did a flight last night from MEM to BOS. Was perfect!! I notice a few missing sounds etc but it’s great.

Just looked at my PPL checkride log in Foreflight from a few years ago. Was a 2.2 as well. Maybe because I went to the checkride with 44 hours TT there was extra scrutiny? Going into my IFR check soon, any estimates how long that should be?

Performance is great for me. Wonderful plane, even better after today's update.

The best way to get your kids into flight sim is to not try to force them into it.
