TFDi Design's MD-11 "Definitive Edition" Touches Down in MSFS 2024 on January 12

The trijet that refuses to be forgotten is lining up on the runway again. TFDi Design has released an official trailer teasing the MD-11 "Definitive Edition", with the MSFS 2024-compatible version arriving Monday, January 12 (12JAN26).

TFDi describes this as a high-fidelity refresh of its already deep MD-11 simulation, aimed at bringing a more polished visual package, expanded systems depth, and a longer list of "MD-11-isms" that fans of the aircraft know and love.

What's included (and why MD-11 fans are grinning)
According to TFDi's trailer and supporting coverage, the MSFS 2024 edition focuses on a mix of cockpit detail, systems depth, and interaction inside and out:

• 
  Highly detailed cockpit with customer options and differences between passenger and freighter configurations


• 
  Meticulously modeled exterior with an emphasis on mechanical detail, plus clickable doors and ground-service interactions (GPU/ASU)


• 
  Thorough systems and autoflight/FMS depth, including support for modern procedures like SIDs/STARs, holds, predictions, and ECON/CI-style planning


• 
  Custom flight behavior and classic MD-11 quirks, including dial-a-flap, control droop, windmilling, and engine options (Pratt & Whitney and General Electric)


• 
  Audio by Echo 19


• 
  Interactive cabin features: door controls, bins, shades, and more

Extended Simulation: when you want the MD-11 to bite back 

For pilots who like their checklists with a side of consequences, TFDi also highlights an Extended Simulation add-on that introduces working circuit breakers and over 230 possible failures.

TFDi's own product page frames this package as an additional layer with operational failures and a dedicated failures menu, with circuit breaker functionality included as part of that expanded simulation scope.

Pricing and packages
TFDi sells the MD-11 in a modular setup:

• 
  Base Pack: $69.99 for Passenger or Freighter


• 
  Expansion (other variant): $9.99


• 
  Extended Simulation Pack: listed at $4.99 (often rounded to about $5 in coverage)

Some outlets also report a post-release price increase for new customers after the MSFS 2024 version goes live.

Existing customers: "the update you've been waiting for"
In the trailer copy, TFDi directly calls out that current owners should see the long-anticipated upgrades roll into this MSFS 2024 push, including the Pratt & Whitney engine option, art updates, and Extended Simulation progress, alongside Flight Simulator 2024 support.
