If you have an interest in Concorde I would recommend buying the DVD that the youtube clip was taken from. It goes into lots of detail and is about 4hrs long, so value for money.

Jump to postIt seems like a strange commercial desicion not to release the MD11 for FS9. My impression is that there are lots of people who are actually still very happy with FS9 and are reulctant to swap to FSX due to the higher specs required.
Jump to postI was having a look at the PMDG website and the MD11 only appears under the FSX product section. Does this mean the MD11 will only be available for FSX? It's a pity if it is the case.
