Douglas MD-11 (Tri-jet Airliner)

A scale-looking McDonell Douglas 11 (MD-11) passenger airliner with interior and see though cabin windows. the plane fuselage is wider than my airbus 330/340 so again I had to install the windows one by one.

IMPORTANT: SLIDER 1 + DOWN/NEUTRAL = Extend/Retract Flaps. Flap extension is a must during take off and landing.
Tips: when you reach about 3000 mtrs retract the flaps to neutral and throttle down engine power to about 85%. Preset the Pitch Trim from 10-14% nose up position and the plane will gradually climb to cruising altitude without pilot input (handsfree).

*Tested on RTSS with an altitude ceiling of about 13000 mtrs.

MD-11 is the computerized, modern improvement of the antiquated DC-10 and entered service in 1990. It became a popular wide-body jet of choice among major airlines around the world by the 1990's. However by the beginning of the 21st century after the steep rise of fuel cost (following 9/11) and the expensive maintenance of this unique Tri-jet, airlines gradually retired their fleet of MD-11s in favor of more fuel efficient and economical twinjets and the aircraft survive today mostly for air cargo/freight services. The final passenger flight of the MD-11 was operated by KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) on October 2014.
