The TFDi Design MD-11 is an ultra high fidelity simulation of the iconic McDonnell Douglas three-engine transcontinental airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024.

Comprehensive Systems Simulation

Based on both real-world manuals and pilot and mechanic experience.

Onboard Systems

Each onboard system has a detailed simulation of both its physical behavior and the automatic control computer that manages it. The electrical system dynamically propagates load, the hydraulic system realistically pressurizes over time with varied per-system values, the air system responds to bleed configurations and environmental conditions, and the fuel system manages complex transfer and temperature control behavior.

Flight Controls

Advanced and unique features like the dial-a-flap system, control surface droop, and deflected aileron package are fully simulated.

Persistence

Continue where you left off with full system state persistence.

Advanced Flight Management System & Autopilot

Experience professional-grade flight planning and management via SIDs and STARs, realistic time and fuel predictions, performance/cost index management, custom waypoints, wind data entry, and holding pattern capabilities. Full simulation of the autoflight and autothrottle system from TAKEOFF pitch guidance to dual AUTOLAND can guide you runway to runway.

ACARS/CPDLC Simulation

Communicate with air traffic control using the MCDU.

LSAS & RCWS

Fully implemented Lateral Stability Augmentation System (LSAS) and optional Roll Control Wheel Steering for enhanced manual flight assistance.

Dynamic Display Systems

Experience the 6 rounded digital displays of the MD-11 cockpit, offering visibility into all critical flight and systems data.

CRT Technology

Authentic warm-up sequences
Display computer simulation
Screen shuffling behavior

Alert and Data Systems

Realistic engine display data and animation
Full master caution/warning and hundreds of possible alerts
Full system synoptics

Display Options

Tape or dial style engine displays
Flight director type and rising runway behavior
Analog or digital standby
Wind display types

Multiple Engine Variants

Recreate your preferred operator with your choice of the CF6-80C2 or PW4460/4462 engines, each with their own unique performance and sound profiles. Both variants are driven by a custom full authority digital engine controller (FADEC).

General Electric CF6-80C2

Realistic N1 control
Iconic whine sound
Lower pressure oil system
Realistic earlier engine data display

Pratt & Whitney PW4460/62

Custom EPR simulation
Livery-selectable 4460 or 4462 variants
Higher pressure oil system
Realistic delayed data during startup
