For us on Xbox none of this MP nuance bothers us, (it’s par for the course) as long as it’s released and liveries come same time and it all works we will be happy to purchase.
From all account this is a super product better than anything from Inibuilds. We waited 6 months for 777 liveries. If we get the MD-11 and liveries in the same week it will be a hot console product for months to come.
Decided to try the MegaDeath-11 in blizzard conditions - a short UPS hop from Dallas to Memphis. Definitely fun in these conditions!
Note the temps on the display on CDU - it is COLD in the middle of the U.S. today!
Memphis was worse than Dallas:
Supposedly there’s an airport out there a couple miles away:
Broke out of the clouds at about 450’ … took control and landed manually with a 13 knot quartering headwind out of the northeast.
Taxiing to the small UPS ramp over on the east side of the field here in FedExLand …
In these conditions, I will absolutely take this landing, even if I was a bit short of the 1,000’ markers. I was a hair slow in the flare and it showed.
VR looks good in the MD-11, really feel how big the windows are on the side.
default viewpoint is too high. I have to adjust with the mouse everytime. can I change it permanently?
I can not see the mfd’s with the default position
Setup a custom camera view and save it to hotkey?
it’s payware but it’s great… chase plane from parallel 42 
you can set up all the cameras you want, plus fly-by mode and cinematic mode
Here is the approach and -230fpm landing… I’ll take that all day long in this bird
I need to start recording my landings and making some cinematics with ChasePlane. Looks great!
I flew from BNA to EWR this morning. Nashville is in the middle of an epic ice storm, easily the worst I can remember since 1993 which is one of the worst on record. Newark weather wasn’t bad but mins were very low. I was shooting the CAT II/III ILS into 04R, and didn’t break out of the clouds until about 150’. I managed this landing in the face of 15 knot quartering headwind, which I will take every day of the week.
I’ve had landings like that too, wish we had the smoke effect from the tires especially with these 150+knot Vref speeds.
Here’s a nice RW landing in rain at KMIA. I think they deliberately landed pretty hard to prevent hydroplaning. Hard to read the VS at touch down, but looks pretty high?
Wow. Best I can tell from the video, the VSI is showing in the range of -600fpm at touchdown. And while VSIs necessarily lag behind actual performance, I didn’t see much of a flare. Pilot flying didn’t pull back the column an appreciable amount. Arrival seems to have surprised them a bit.
If you watch on YT and read the comments, the crew commented. They intentionally used minimal flare to avoid hydroplaning, and were the last flight in before the airport was closed due for weather.
Honestly, imo, smoke effects along with AI awareness haven’t really improved in games/sims since the PS2 era. I hate how smoke just cuts off. I get it, performance things but surely after all these years…
Anyway, back to my late evening FedEx flight. 
Mine was a little more “positive contact” than that at -246fmp
screwed up holding centerline on touch down trying to get the screenshot, not realizing I could just pull it up in the little app I use afterwards
Sidenote: @DrVenkman3876 I recently downloaded Elevatex as I like the interface from your screenshots, but I can’t get it to track the flight. the plugin is installed, I load simbrief and it shows all the right info but nothing on the map and no data (alt, GS etc) any ideas?
Hmmm … After the major update about 2 weeks ago where they started using this new plugin, my first flight did not track. Once I quit the sim, restarted Elevatex and then restarted the sim, everything started working for me.
