PMDG 747-8i vs MD-11?

[magnetite]

Just wondering what the differences would be between the 747-8 and the MD-11 in terms of FPS?

Not sure of the exact numbers,but the 747-8 would be almost identical to the 747-4, since only the external views are modified.
The MD-11 definitely has better FPS than the 747's, since it has much newer code.this, in spite of having more complex FMS and flight dynamics.
The MD-11 is its own beast, kind of a cross between a Boeing and an airbus. Its probably my most favourite modern heavy!!!.

I was considering upgrading to the 737-NGX when it gets released. Someone had hinted that it would be similar in performance to the MD-11 and since I don't own it, I thought I'd ask.

For what it's worth, I just loaded up the MD-11 and then the 747-400 at Heathrow (I don't have the -8 version). I got substantially better fps with the MD-11: 25-40 vs 18-25

cheers,
