TFDi Design has released update 1.0.41 for their acclaimed MD-11 simulation, bringing a suite of sound enhancements and crucial bug fixes to improve the overall user experience. This update concentrates heavily on refining the audio environment, particularly for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) users.
A major highlight of this release is the introduction of new sound effects. Pilots can now experience more immersive ground roll, flaps turbulence, and gear drag wind sounds, adding another layer of realism to their virtual flights. These additions aim to create a more dynamic and engaging auditory experience during takeoff, landing, and other critical phases of flight.
Beyond the soundscape, version 1.0.41 addresses several key issues reported by the community. A persistent problem with the parking brake not being respected in the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) after reloading has been resolved. Furthermore, the update tackles the GE engine oscillation issue, ensuring smoother and more realistic engine performance. Improvements have also been made to the ATS speed control performance, enhancing the aircraft’s autopilot functionality.
The development team has dedicated significant effort to fine-tuning the engine sounds, particularly for the GE variant in MSFS. The internal and over-wing engine mix has been rebalanced, and the flyby perspective effects have been enhanced. Further refinements include adjustments to the saw sample and N1 curve, overall engine mix, ground roll volumes, and the implementation of altitude-based attenuation for engine sounds. These meticulous adjustments promise a more authentic and immersive auditory experience for simmers.
This update underscores TFDi Design’s commitment to continuous improvement and responsiveness to community feedback. The focus on sound enhancements and critical bug fixes demonstrates their dedication to delivering a high-quality and enjoyable simulation experience for MD-11 enthusiasts. Users are encouraged to update to version 1.0.41 to take advantage of these latest improvements.
