PMDG FedEx MD-11F EDDF to KORD Full Procedures

I strongly advise everyone to watch this in 720p. This video was made towards the end of summer/beginning of autumn 2010. It took me a total of two and a half months to make it. The only unfortunate thing that I can say about this video is that I was originally planning to add a glowing overlay to everything that was pressed to make it stand out and easier to comprehend - that was the sole reason which kept me from uploading this video back in September 2010. It was going to be another few weeks or so before that would have been accomplished - considering that the end of last year and the beginning of this year was so busy for me, I realised that I might as well upload it as it is. I hope you enjoy all the effort I put into making this video. The main purpose within it is to show how the MD-11F from PMDG is operated in Flight Simulator X and generally in real life. All the procedures are done in the correct order according to the advanced tutorial for the aircraft, which can be obtained from PMDG's website: www.precisionmanuals.com - the only things that were left out, were the radio communication events. The McDonnell Douglas 11 is downright my favourite aircraft to fly, even after trying the iFly 737 as well as having full knowledge of operating the PMDG 747 aircraft.

The following programs were used to create this video:

- Microsoft Flight Simulator X
- Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
- Adobe After Effects CS4 (with the help of plugins such as Twixtor)
- Adobe Audition 3.0 (for modifying the music to fit the video events)
- Fraps

Enjoy the video :)

Nice vid!! I just got this AC today (Christmas 2011) and I must say I am up a gumtree with it. I have flown the PMDG 747 and the PMDG 737NGX and I find them easy but this beast has got me stumped at the moment!

@TheGospelTrain I know exactly what you mean. The brilliance of this aircraft is in the way you operate it. It is completely different from the 747/737. This goes towards everything, starting from the startup of the aircraft itself and ending with the FMC - keep in mind, the FMC on this bird is, well, let's just say, a completely manual version of the 747/737 FMC. Learn to fly this bird, and you will pretty much guess your way around any other advanced aircraft :) Merry Xmas! :D

@SubSevenHacker Thanks for your encouragements. I found a guy on a VA as I fly online at VATSIM and he has flown almost 5000 hours in this bird. He did a complete walkthrough with me and I have now begun to understand 100% more than I did a few days ago. From a cold start to getting the aircraft airborne is becoming fairly easy now. My sticky part now is the descent on a STAR and getting it to catch the LOC for a ILS landing! - Hope you had a great Christmas and thanks!

@TheGospelTrain the most exciting stuff comes when you start flying with failures. I have been flying A LOT of failure flights, and I have yet to have crashed - that also includes the unlikely failure of 20+ things, which I let my friends set for me without looking - nothing beats descending into an airport with one engine, attempting to line up with the runway, only to realise that while you were descending you had a hydraulics leak and have to land using the rudder/elevator!

Great job looks like a lot of time to put it together. I just recently picked up the PMDG MD-11, great aircraft.

@SeIebrity It's totally beautiful - I have quite a few real life photograph images saved on my PC, which I took from airliners(dot)net - I really like their livery repaint: it is simple and outstanding.

Great video! I was thinking to myself, "No way I'm watching 15 minutes of this" but I sure did! Having worked (non-flying) on and around the FDX MD11, I'd also like to say that plane looks really good.

Sweet Awsome Video what else could i say, Great Job A+++
