MSFS2020 the WORST 80$ I've ever spent TFDi Design MD-11 WATCH IT IF YOU CARE ABOUT DETAILS ONLY!!!!

Hello guys,
First of all, this Video for the people who cares about details ONLY if you do not agree PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO IT'S NOT FOR YOU.
I supported TFDi MD-11 by pre-order and paying $80 but they need really to work on the exterior and interior, there is no details at all even try to get a good shot from the wing view there is no details at all. Looks so basic, flight dynamics not realistic can’t feel or simulate the weight on takeoff and landing. Without mentioning any names, different aircraft are really way better and way cheaper.
My honest opinion DO NOT BUY ONCE you buy It NO REFUND.
I hope this video help you guys by not falling in this trap.

SEE YAAA.

Not a pilot here. I find it interesting that you bitch so much about the visual model / texturing and just gave a few minutes to the flying model. Perhaps the choice to go low resolution was taken in order to get good performance - reach more potential customers. However I concur with you on the fact that the plane has a supersentitive pitch momentum. It is very difficult to handfly it during approach because a minimal input will cause the nose to bounce all over the place. It is as if all the augmentation this plane was known for didnt exist... I've fixed it with a very flat curve response on the joke... but yeah.. again.. thats for them to fix it , and not me.

[@DiamondAviation727]

It's 2024, you can have way better texturing and modeling than the TFDI MD11 without losing performance. Fenix, iniBuilds, and even PMDG have better texturing and modeling and have great performance. The plane is clearly a P3D port, as the P3D model and texturing is pretty much the same.

[@CAL1MBO]

Not an excuse unfortunately, this is an $80 addon for a next gen simulator. If you can't run it turn down the settings. Inibuilds has better performance and better textures. Rubbish P3d port

I can't figure out why you're upset by nacelle chines and GE's nooks and crannies - they're all supposed to be there. I also can't figure out why, as a real world pilot allegedly, you'd start the engines with the EFB instead of showing the immersion using the various systems. The systems are dang near on point. PROF implementation is the best I've seen since PMDG's MD11 over a decade ago. EFB could be nicer, but that's not a show stopper. Same for 3rd party liveries, they'll only get prettier. TL;DR: If you want an accurate MD11, this is a strong contender. If you do this for views and eye candy, I can't help ya, she looks good to me. $80 is a bit steep, especially with how long the release delay took.

It's not worth $80! However you mentioned only the minor stuff (except for the physics). The System simulations are a nightmare. Packs are instant on when APU Bleed is selected on. In real life it takes up to a minute for the Packs to spool up. Several LVL2 alerts are displayed on the wrong Displays, they mixed up System Display (SD) and EAD (engine and alert display). There are many more mistakes. I really wonder why it took them so long to release this A/C...

[@juliashenandoah3965]

Aha here we come to the more interesting and deep cockpit stuff and realism, which is most important. The important cockpit systems should indeed be fixed for maximum realism, maybe you can reach out to the developers to help with ultimate realism? My knowledge about this plane is zero I am specialized in Airbus only, but you could be extremely helpful in that TFDI Discord noticing about such rather hidden system flaws only true experts and engineers know about :)

[@noway9880]

Thanks so much! Yup. Not to mention the engine model. Engine spool time unlike ANY turbofan produced. Eng Nacelle+oil temp go to 6C/0C even if ambient is 30c. LOL. Warmup/cooldown time is insane. APU Model is basically non existent. Look at APU EGT. When running it's either 250, 350, or 550. the change is instanteous, meaning nothing between 250-350. packs have no effect on eng n1, epr, even egt. nor pack load. as you said packs are instanteous, also. not sure why this thing is getting the attention it is...i guess the xbox simmers? the only decent jet i've flown in msfs to this date remains the fenix a320. the pmdgs come close but again engine model (although nowhere NEAR as bad as this TFDI MD-11) hell EVEN the rotate md11 in Xplane has a apu/eng model that's closer to believable. the apu thing is crazy.

[@juliashenandoah3965]

I would say this review is a bit harsh. The airplane textures maybe does not look that photorealistic. But this airplane is not some "FPS-friendly" low-poly trash with 999999999999999999 never-fixed and never-cared-about visual glitches and and texture bugs and with important interesting areas literally having no 3D-details whatsoever when looking in the turbines, gear wells etc. - all this problems happened in some highly appreciated (and not allowed to be critiziced in any way or getting banned from certain forums) releases during the last four years. The MD11 has none of these problems. The default outside textures might not be the best and don´t fully catch the vibe of photorealistic reflections oil grime and metallic surfaces. But the 3D model including gear, engines, cockpit and other areas is rather detailed, the engine can be looked into from behind seeing a fully modeled turbine in the engine core and exhaust, with most likely not only the front N1 inlet fan spinning with the rest of the engine fully static but the full engine is probably animated here (but not sure about that detail because I could not see that in your video, you never looked into the rear parts of the engine nacelle while it was running). The cockpit looks very interesting and detailed and seems to be free of visual bugs and non-functional fake-dud-panels. Just this oxygen masks cannot be clicked - but to be honest this is the most boring part, the only thing that happens when this mask is made clickable in some other planes is a "pfffft!" sound that is played for one second, and nothing else interesting or deep happens here. The oxygen masks not making a pffft-sound and some wing-view problems seemed to be main problems most of the critics was revolving around - but don´t you think this is meaningless when it comes to immersive cockpit operations, perfect system and avionics simulation, flight management computer programming and perfect sitting-inside-cockpit flair? The light bleed in some cockpit floor areas, the cargo door with the faulty clipping animation and no engine core air inlet guide vanes modeled in 3D behind the N1 fan are the biggest flaws I see here, but this is easy to fix. And sooner or later 3D model enhancements will surely come over time. Never touching this aircraft again is really too harsh with such great cockpit quality and functionality, and a good solid 3D model with just a few flickering problems on certain graphics cards. To be honest I can´t wait to test this airplane myself to see how well it will do compared to my favorite, the good old Fenix V1 :)

Absolutely spot on review! I agree 100% with your review! The developers promised a study level product, saying that the systems, flight model, and textures would rival the best payware aircraft.

I thought that surely, the textures will look much better than that! On release day, I still decided to look at release product videos, and I was shocked at how bad it looked!! The default planes in MSFS look better than this! You have a very valid point about other very good developers, who make much better products for the same, or less money! I''m glad that I waited, and I never purchase a product for MSFS without looking at reviews, exactly because of things like this. It's great that reviewers like you, show potential buyers exactly what they get for their hard earned money! It also shows developers quality standards, and gives them feedback on where they need to step up their product quality. I'm so glad that I didn't buy it!

You seem really angry, and mostly about graphical issues, and not system depth. $80 isn’t a lot of money…certainly not enough $$$ to be this upset. With that being said, If you have genuine concerns, send support ticket to tfdi…..I’m sure they will improve it over time.

@@pilot_franklin265 The plane is complete. There being small bugs (and yes what you're complaining about is small) does not mean the plane is not "complete." There's no such thing as bug-free and there will always be things to work out on release. They could take 50 years to release and test it constantly and *still* there would be bugs on release. This is how development works. The plane is fun and behaves exactly like you should expect it to for what it is. It's very much worth $80 even now, and will be even more once the small bugs you pointed out are fixed in the next week or two (yes TFDi has put out an announcement saying what they're going to fix). Your video is just being petty nitpicking and does not accurately represent the quality and status of the plane. You really should take it down.

Rip-off

[@artropan]

Lol the PMDG 777 has more bugs than this thing (at least in my case). And why do you actually refer to the textures throughout the entire video? Firstly, they're not as bad as you make them out to be and secondly, there's more that makes an addon good than textures, like the systems (wich are great in my opinion). Also, you can't expect an MD11 to fly exactly like a 737 or an A320. These are completely different aircraft. Apart from that, the MD11 was only released yesterday. It is clear that the aircraft is not yet perfect. In my opinion, this “review” is complete nonsense.

[@DiamondAviation727]

Sorry but the textures are pretty horrendous, especially the engine textures. You could show me a picture and tell me it was the Sky Simulations MD11 and I'd believe you. It's clearly an aircraft made for P3D first and then ported over since the difference in texturing and modeling is barely noticeable between the two versions. I think texturing and modeling matters and overall visual representation, especially when other aircraft that are cheaper or the same price have texturing and modeling that are lightyears ahead, it's a disgrace to pass this as an $80 product. I've heard the systems are decent but not the greatest, I'm not a MD-11 system expert so I can't judge that.
