그동안 훈련때문에 컴퓨터를 못했는데, 오늘에서야 제가 지르고 2시간만에 집에 와버렸던 PMDG MD-11에 대한 업데이트가 저번주 토요일 올라왔다는 걸 알게 됐습니다(....).

이번 업데이트는 MD-11의 공식 출시 이후 첫 업데이트이고, PMDG의 업데이트 수준은 아시듯이 좀 많습니다. FSX/9 버전을 동시 대응하네요.

개선사항(FSX/9 모두)

1. 버추얼 칵핏: 패널 라이트가 켜질 때 Brakes Pressure needle이 사라지던 문제 해결
2. 출발/도착지 ICAO 코드 정보가 들어간 '불량한' 플라이트 플랜을 F-PLN INIT 페이지에서 입력시킬 때 프리징 되는 현상을 방지하기 위한 장치 마련
3. 상당한 양의 SID/STAR가 들어간 공항을 로드할 때 CTD되는 문제를 해결(예로 LFPG는 0901 AIRAC에서 SID만 159개 들어 있다고 하네요-_-)
4. MDCU FIX 페이지에서 FIX에 대한 방향 표시
5. non-precision APR을 할 경우(한 마디로 정상적인 착륙절차를 밟지 않는 경우) F-PLN 페이지에서 "MIN PROF"가 표시되지 않음
(...나머지는 귀찮아서 원문으로)
6. "NO TAXI" indication now displays on both PFDs when any of the three IRU systems is in the align phase. In previous versions it was displayed only on the captains PFD when IRU-1 was aligning and only on the F/Os PFD when IRU-2 was aligning.
7. Fixed issue of ALT HOLD mode and ATS speed-on-thrust engaging on the ground during preflight when the FCP altitude was set within 20ft of the current altitude. 
8. Added missing electrical dependencies for Radio Altimeters. RA1 is powered by AC1 bus and RA2 by AC3 bus. When either RA is unpowered an amber "X" will display on the corresponding PFD in place of the RA readout. Autoland mode requires both RAs available, so if either RA fails the land mode will be APPR ONLY. Also, CAWS RA callouts and DH "Minimums" callouts will not be available when both RAs fail.
9. Autoland is now possible with one IRU inoperative in SINGLE LAND mode.
10. Corrected electrical dependency for GPWS to be AC1 bus (was DC Battery Bus in previous versions).
11. Auto Ground Spoilers is unavailable with AC1 bus unpowered ("DISARM SPOILERS" and "USE MAN SPOILERS" alerts apply).
12. Automatic Slats Extension (during stall conditions) is unavailable with AC3 bus unpowered. 
13. In case of a landing performed with ATS disengaged, "Approach Idle" thrust was not removed until on ground, preventing spoilers deployment and autobrakes engagement at touchdown. Now "approach idle" is removed at 50 ft AGL.
14. Reversers are operated by corresponding engine pneumatic (GE engines) or hydraulic (PW engines) system. This was not modeled in previous versions and it was possible to operate the reversers (sleeve movement) even in a cold & dark situation. 
15. Fixed issues with Altitude Hold when simulation rate is set at 2x.
16. Fix for descend path calculation for the case of a forced soft restriction followed by several speed only restrictions.
17. Fixed predicted wind heading/speed values following interpolation through climb/descend forecast table.
18. Fixed wind forecast effect on top-of-descend and descend path calculation.
19. Fixed issue with reconfiguration of DUs in case one DU fails. In previous versions when the SDCP SD switch was pressed the ND display was replaced by a second SD display. 
20. The keyboard command for "Skip Comms" in pushback was not working.
21. In case of a non-GNS equipped aircraft the position update from runway coordinates occurring when throttles are advanced for takeoff was resulting in wrong calculation for the FMC2 position. 
22. If PROF mode is armed on the ground it can be disengaged by pushing the FCP altitude knob.
23. Flight time as indicated on ND timer was not saved properly with saved flights 
24. Fixed wrong label on Transponder knob (in both the VC and the 2D panel). RA was displayed instead of TA. 
25. Corrected ND VOR display in TRK mode (direction of OBS arrow was wrong).
26. When using the alternate panel.cfg with undockable DUs, the CAPT side DUs will automatically close when switching to F/Os view if the "automatically close panel windows" option is enabled in the PMDG menu. 
27. Possible fix for "climb to glideslope" behavior due to FS data corruption.
28. Provision for very high cabin vs after early descend to cruise phase transition.
29. Adjusted flood lights effect for realism (both VC and 2D panels): Flood lighting is now barely noticeable during daytime. The maximum flood lights effect is achieved during night. During dusk and dawn the flood lights effect is progressively adjusted between day/night levels. 
30. The BELOW G/S INHIBIT switch was not working properly when operated from the VC.
31. The "BELOW G/S" aural warning can be inhibited by pressing "G/S INHIBIT" switch on the glareshield when below 1,000ft AGL and is reset when climbing above 1,000ft AGL or descending below 30ft AGL. In previous versions the limit was 2,000ft AGL.
32. The arrival runway ILS frequency is autotuned only when an ILS, LOC or LDA approach is selected (in previous versions it was autotuned always if the arrival runway was ILS equipped, regardless of the selected approach type)

FSX에서의 개선사항

33. Fixed inoperative Dome Lights in Virtual Cockpit.
34. Improved the way flood lighting is presented in the Virtual Cockpit (fixed the washed out panels effect).

FS9에서의 개선사항

35. Fixed problem with COM1/COM2 switching in the Audio Control Panel.
36. Fixed issue with aircraft not initializing if a zero payload was selected from the Load Manager.
37. Fixed issue of default FS autobrakes interfering with the MD-11 autobrakes system (if set by keyboard commands, or become active in any other way, e.g. loading the MD-11 on top of a FS9 aircraft with autobrakes on).
