Flying in the
VATSIM Asia Hong Kong -
Taipei New Year event on the 31st of
January 2015, I haul some freight out of Hong Kong bound for Taipei in the livery of
EVA Air Cargo, dressed in a white shirt and (very dark blue) tie, in the
PMDG MD11
The PMDG MD11 was the last PMDG product released with an
FS9 version, The real world only saw
200 of this venerable 3 engined airliner, with the last passenger MD11 retiring from service at
KLM in
December 2014. Several MD11's still fly in
Cargo operations. You can purchase the PMDG MD11 for FS9 or
FSX at

All insets, including charts and facecam, have been edited into the video using
Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 11.0
During the flight, weight loadings, weather briefings and airway
SID STAR approach and ground charts were read off a second computer/monitor.
Every air traffic controller and aircraft you hear is a real person using VATSIM. For more information about vatsim, visit http://www.vatsim.net/ and http://www.vatsim.net/pilots/quickstart/
I use FSinn to connect to vatsim. Learn how to install FSinn at

I use VAIP for FSinn to see traffic in the right liveries (internal model matching software developed by
Compass VA)
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=VAIP+Compass+VA
I also have MyTrafficX 5.4 models installed (
Used for matching aircraft+livery in FSinn, not for actual offline AI)

Finally I also use IVAP
Client +
MTL from https://www.ivao.aero/softdev/ alongside AC_ICAO_45.zip to maximize the variety in viewable liveries. (As per the video link)
Since the website restructure, the link has disappeared, but I have one on my google drive at
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B25GjWrn0HgrQlRnVVFRQVVhLVk&authuser;=0
Matt Davies has a good tutorial on how to set up FSinn with model matching at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK7ZC8QufMI
The last time I had to install FSinn, I simply used his video as a step-by-step checklist.
