Well, stayed up till 1AM, got the AI in:

Not much left now before it replaces the old one as default. Seems the MD-11 uses the same or similar AI shape as the Airbus, so I didn't have to make another AI mask to get the right shape... that took me about 6 hours to do for the Airbus. That is why the AI looks similar. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close according to my reference pictures.

Kind Regards,
Josh

What do you guys think? This was really hard to do in Canvas, but it works. Comments?

Well done Josh, looks great. I am not familiar with the MD-11, is this the real life behaviour?

Hi CaptB,
Thanks,
Yes, I have footage from and MD-11 simulator and specifically the bank limit having a smooth animation like this.

Kind Regards,
Josh

PS: PW engined MD-11s are on the way.

The canvas PFD is now the default!

In the FDM, its getting closer. Its still a bit of a rocket under 10000ft, with insane climb rates, I just found some more data on the thrust/drag so I'll be fine tuning it shortly. Have your patience, FDM work is tedious in this stage of development. It is, however, a lot closer than it was a few days ago.

I'm trying my hand at PW engines... they will just be adapted GE engines for now, as I am not particularly good with 3D. Maybe someone will remodel them in the future, but for now, I just going to get them mostly close. Mainly, I want to add the PW engines since they have some system differences, and I'd rather work those in now, while I am still developing the base for everything, and not have to worry about adding them later, and making things compatible.

Kind Regards,
Josh

I added the radio altimeter to the PFD.

I added PW versions of the MD-11 and MD-11F!

Also, the PW EAD with EPR indications and custom EPR calculation and FADEC is there.

Talons/FB has repaired the MD-10X model, which should repair the exterior weirdness, furthermore, I've ported the FDE changes over to the MD-10 as well.

Kind Regards,
Josh

Little fix from me in the hospital:
QNH HPA works properly on STD now.

Also, the LSAS can no-longer be seen on the yoke. I decided to make it more realistic, rather than showing the LSAS feedback through the yoke. You can use the Flight Controls dialog to view what he is doing.

Kind Regards,
Josh

Hi all,
I just added ALS navigation, strobe, and rear navigation lights to the IDG-MD11X, and ALS landing lights... this will make night flight a lot better hopefully :)
Default renderer and Rembrandt may or may not work -> my priority is to make the ALS lights work first.
More lights coming soon!

Please note that Rembrandt support may or may not be kept.

Mostly likely, it will be dropped in favor of ALS.

Kind Regards,
Josh

Glad to hear that, perhaps you would tell me what I am doing wrong?
The resolution is at maximum, while the bitrate is also high.
