Rotate MD-11 Review XP12 | Latest Update Now Worth It?

Is the latest MD11 by Rotate worth it? Version 1.08 has a changelog as long as your sleeve, so let's take it for a flight and see.

You'll be with me up front in this updated (unpaid unbiased review) as we take the Mad Dog in FedEx livery, down from JFK into DC in December 2023.

By the end of this video, you will know if this aircraft is worth the money, and decide if it's for you, or not.

In no way do I claim to be an expert in the MD-11, so a little guesswork and faith is required to get this one going. My main goal is giving you an honest set of opinion, and reviewing the aircraft fairly. Procedures and checklists are very much secondary today!
