Why P3D and not MSFS?

@@Pwnzistor yeh, need to look at what's up at Hong Kong scenery conflict wise

The MD11 auto thrust, like that on the 777, is certified to be used all the way to touch down. Once weight on wheels is detected, the throttle will disengage having pulled to idle power around 20 feet radio altitude.

Thank you so much, that is most helpful. I have not seen this explained anywhere.

They feel too small in the first 20% of movement, and then suddenly get "large" the more you pull. then you get a weird rubber banding thing going on where a small movement results in a large pitch up and sudden disappearence of the pitch up to nearly neutral, which makes the elevator bit back in and pitch up hard again. You can do a massive pilot induced oscillation by just holding the yoke back at about 50% of travel authority. Not just on the MD11 mind you, some of the default planes show that tendancy too. Weirdly I feel the MD11 responds better to the elevator at flap 35.

@@splashhs1 got to normal intercept altitude and it hadn't selected freq, suspect cos it's an airport that closed in 1998 and is now a park.

@@musicalaviator can confirm, it did auto select, maybe a bit later than would seem normal, I'm sure there will be plenty of bugs fixed in a update soon.

Whered it fall short?

I'm disappointed with my purchase. The aircraft has many issues such as rough texturing on the exterior, missing airframe hydraulic lines, and landing lights that are poorly modeled. The beacon light isn't even a 3D model, and the spoilers seem to be floating with no proper mechanisms modeled. Despite the high price of $80, the quality of the engines spinning animation is outdated. When I expressed my concerns on Discord, I was met with dismissive responses from TFDI supporters. They either focused on the fantastic cockpit and ignored the exterior issues, or claimed that it's still early and will improve over time despite the two years of development. It's frustrating considering we paid more than what PMDG charges for their 777, yet we're being told we're being unreasonable to criticize the current state of the addon. I believe that if reputable companies like Fenix, PMDG, Blacksquare, A2A, or Justflight released a product with similar issues at such a high price, they would receive well-deserved criticism. It's disappointing that TFDI chose to release their product in this state.

FSLTL is free and has a package full of different liveries it even has a built in flight tracker so if you flying offline the AI airplanes will follow live flight paths taken from flight radar24

GSX puts the jet bridge on L2, but seems to need L5 open too before it starts boarding

Tiredness, trying to speed through speech at the speed of thought instead of tongue, other psychological unconscious reasons to do with multitasking and not giving enough brain cpu cycles to speech. The list goes on.

All twirly like a french horn. I usually just take the tuning crook/mouthpiece off, and flip it upside down. A few taps or bumps to encourage the water to drip down the entire leadpipe, and then reassemble. If I have less time, I have found twirling it the other way, blowing some air through till it starts gurgling at the backbow then flipping it forward to blow it out the bell end takes less time and you can leave the crook (and it's position for tuning) in place - But then you have the odd look of holding a trumpet over your head and blowing into it.

It's a descending 5ths sequence that starts on a (2nd space in the treble stave) A, A(g-f)G G(f-e)F, F(e-d)E E(d-c)D, D(c-Bb) and on down. Yeh it gets pretty low. I end the piece hanging on the low (2 legerlines down) A for a good 5 bars (close to my max lung capacity for one breath at fortissimo)
