The Cirrus E-170 DVD may well be of interest to anyone using the Embraer 170 with their simulator, providing some insightful hints and tips from actual flights.

This program features our first trip on board of an Embraer 170 and includes detailed presentations by the crew such as an external walkaround, on board procedures, checklists, startup and a detailed cockpit presentations. The flights are from Cologne to Olbia, located in Sardinia, and back to Munich.

Cirrus Airlines was established in February 1995 and entered into a partnership with Lufthansa in February 2000. Over the years the airline has expanded its fleet significantly and added scheduled domestic service in Germany. Since 2002 Cirrus Airlines has expanded all over Europe including service to Belgium, Macedonia, Switzerland and the UK.

Good news for everyone who’s been waiting for PMDG’s MD-11 - the product has entered Beta testing, meaning it’s a step closer to release.

I thought you all might be interested to know that the PMDG MD-11 for FSX went into BETA testing overnight!

Over the next few days, we will share with you some of the feedback and trend information that we are getting from the testing team. We have a few larger “cleanup” and “polish” items left to accomplish on the airplane, but from a development standpoint the project is nearly completed.

For those who are interested, the PMDG MD-11 is (in my opinion) in a better overall product quality state than any product we have yet produced. This is due in large part to the care and attention the product has received during development.

In the past, our BETA testing process has taken anywhere from two to nine months. I anticipate that this will not be a lengthy BETA period, as this product was subjected to extensive ALPHA testing throughout the course of it’s development.

You can read the complete post here, and also be sure to visit the PMDG MD-11 page for more info and screenshots.
