Hopefully they can work on getting the MD11 ready now!

Thanks...I'm off to get it...once I come back from shopping...D'oh

Yes Ashar, but instead of getting this plane I say you buy a joystick; the default cessna 172 with a joystick is more realistic than the PMDG 747-400F with a keyboard.
I recomend the Saitek X45 or more lightweight; the Sidewinder (no longer in production though).

Sweet, I'm gonna have to get this one but first waiting for the full Captainsim 757..  :P

Nice to see it comes with the Airborne Laser whatever its called as part of the package. Shame you have to own the PMDG 747-400 first....

This is known as payware for payware

Or is it payware that is modified earlier payware that if you knew how you could modify yourself with the previous payware and not have to buy the new payware???

Now I am confusing myself LOL!!

A $30 repaint on a modified aircraft, that is what Im tring to say LMAO!!

Either way might go check it out

Mmm, very similar to the C-130J and T for the CS C-130...

A shame really, I would have preferred it as a standalone rather than relying on having the passenger package - that was PMDG might have made some money. In my case they won't make any. Shame really. I probably would have been happy to pay $40 for a standalone cargo package with the Airborne Laser aircraft...

Hey ho, their loss...

Yes but it's not just a repaint with an opening nose you know. This has many system improvements that also apply to the passenger model as well as detailed external animated scenery for the cargo model.

Exactly, which is why when I can understand why they don't offer it as a standalone for those who don't want to fork out $85 dollars for it ($55 dollars for a passenger variant that I have little interest in then $30 for the Cargo one...).
