You may have to clear any flight discontinuities on the FMC but adding waypoints or changing the flight plan is quite easy. Simply by entering the departure and destination airport ICO codes, the FMC can calculate the basic flight route allowing you to add SIDs and STARs and departure and destination runways. Fuel may be added through the dynamic menus and the FMC uses these weights as well as temperature to compute V1, V2, and VR speeds for takeoff as well as cruise flight speed and cruise altitude factoring in the Cost Index and desired fuel economy. PMDG provides an external program for selecting passenger or freight configurations in kilograms or pounds which result in weight computations you need to program the FMC. The Flight Management Computer is a joy to work with and after a couple of tours through the tutorial you'll quickly get the hang of it too. I have enough problems getting the plane in the air and on course I didn't need any more problem scenarios but if setting it up and getting from departure to destination isn't enough, you can plan for over 175 different mechanical failures.
PMDG MD 11 LIVERIES SIMULATOR
The introduction also describes a variety of failures you may add to your simulator which underscores the experience level of the target audience. Aerosoft recommends on their web page that experienced simmers take on the challenges of this commercial jet simulator. If you're a beginner, you've seriously got your hands full. I confess to getting a chuckle out of the paragraph directed at beginners. The tutorial is the most thorough step-by-step guide I have seen for setting up and flying a complex aircraft including programming the FMC. You will find the documentation from PMDG to be stellar. PMDG/Aerosoft also includes Adobe files of the MD-11 Checklists, Flight Crew Operating Manual, Flight Management Systems (FMC), Quick Reference Handbook, MD-11 Systems, as well as copies of the printed Introduction and Tutorial manuals.
