A lovely MD11. From [url=http://www.overland.co.jp/simmarket/special.html
]HERE[/url] thanks to Fitter for the link.... this aircraft can be seen in his latest edited screenshots.

On the way to the active... Tokyo-Bangkok. Well that was the flightplan.

Liftoff.

Cruising altitude FL340 ... shortly after taking this things went horribly wrong. No1 engine failed necessitating a hasty diversion.

Dumped fuel .... lost altitude and diverted to Kanoya. It turned nicely onto the glide slope .... thats when things got really hairy.

It was allllll over the place ... crabbing .... wing dipping a rollercoaster of a desent.

Got it down .......... but only just and I'm amazed there were no injuries

Parked and empty ........ now the investigation begins.

Enjoy

Ah well not a bad effort Eno, and at least your U/C didn't perforate your bottom

lol, with a small plane you gotta be two steps ahead of your aircraft...

With a larger plane, you gotta be ten steps ahead at least! :-)

Nice job, its difficult landing a tri-jet with an engine out.

Great model too, when I first downloaded it, I was speechless, at a loss for words!

Nice shots by the way!

These MD-11s are so hard to control at landing. I have a hard landing about everytime I fly somewhere with it.
