Discover how to fly a quick and efficient traffic pattern using FSiPanel 2020 Advanced Edition and the TFDi Design MD11. In this video, I demonstrate the seamless process from sitting on the runway to being fully configured for a left-hand pattern at KBOS 22L. Watch as FSiPanel sets up all necessary parameters, making the setup process swift and easy. Ideal for both training and quick simulation sessions.

TFDi Design MD 11 New GE CF6 Sounds

MD-11 Status
Friday, 25th October, 2024
We've been working on a few significant areas of the MD-11, albeit a little more behind the scenes than usual. First up, we've been working with Echo 19 to overhaul the sound packages. There have been numerous improvements, including:
-Brand new recordings for the interior sounds.
-Improved volume for mechanical sounds
-Pack sound in the cabin
-Added location to cockpit sounds so they are no longer audible in the cabin
-Fixed APU sound location
-Improved ground roll sounds
-Improved wind sounds
-Improved overall balance, stereo field, etc.
That update has just been made available to everyone, so we're happy to hear everyone's feedback over the coming days! Please note, most of these sound updates are MSFS-specific.
TFDi Design MD 11 New GE CF6 Sounds
Behind the scenes, art has still been hard at work on overhauling the exterior. The update is taking longer than expected because Ozzy has been going over the model itself with a fine-toothed comb. We've included a few pictures that show new enhanced physical detail on the models. Various improperly shaped parts have been improved, missing ports and smaller objects have been added, and the overall detail and mapping has been improved. It'll soon be off to Cameron and Miguel for the updated paint and texture work to round out the update.

2024 Development Wrap-Up
Monday, 30th December, 2024 23:17pm
As 2024 draws to a close we will take this opportunity to look back on the development cycle, the current state of our projects and what we will be aiming for in 2025.
MD-11:
2024 was a big year for the MD-11, the first half of the year saw us test and tweak the build with the help of our Quality Assurance team and the Collector's Edition. During this time, many features of the MD-11 were refined and polished to a state that meant we were happy to announce, on stage at FSExpo, that the MD-11 would release in July. After a successful release we turned our attention to fixing the bug reports that were coming in from our users. With the help of select members of the Collector's Edition, we devised a system where bugs could be differentiated from quirks of the MD-11. The phrase ?a McDingle Moment? was coined to describe something so quirky it seems like a bug but is really a feature!
Progress has been made on the FADEC for both the GE and PW engine variants by Giorgio. We believe that we are closer than ever to finding the sweet spot in the engine tuning that will resolve some of the bugs and get us into a position to release the PW engines in early 2025. In our October Dev-Update we mentioned the work that has been going on regarding the ILS/LOC/autoland performance. The update with these fixes is currently in the hands of Collector's Edition and we hope to have this published with any tweaking required as soon as possible.
We have already had one major update to the Art of the MD-11, and our team are currently working on another re-work of the exterior model and textures. We believe that these will allow the MD-11 to shine in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, and in FS24. It is not only the Artwork that is getting the love and attention, Tyler of Echo-19 has been continuously tweaking the sound package with the help of feedback from the users and the MD-11 Pilots we have on the team.
Please note, the above screenshots are still work-in-progress and meant to illustrate the overall detail, not the final quality.
It remains our firm intention to bring the MD-11 to FS24, however this will be done after we get to the end of our ?must fix? bugs as put forward by our QA team. We are unsure if FS24 compatibility will come as a free update, or as part of a paid upgrade, the amount of work required to have the aircraft fully functional in FS24 will determine this.
