Calculating V-Speeds

[IVA739 0]

So today I finally let PMDG win over my wallet, and bought the MD-11. I am not new to PMDG aircraft, but getting the hang of the MD-11 is quite different than the other aircraft. As I'm going through things trying to get the aircraft setup, I am unable to get the V-Speeds to calculate and am left with just dashes in those spaces. I have input the flaps level and have filled in all the information that I have come across. The only two things I was unsure what I needed to fill them in were the Block and TOGW numbers on the Weight Init page. Any help would be appreciated in regards to what I need to do to get the V-Speeds to automatically calculate.EDIT: Nevermind just found in one of the manuals to copy the UFOB weight :)

Do go through the basic tutorial... this plane is nothing like a Boeing or Airbus.DJ

If you're lazy (like me), you can also right click or left click on some of those and they'll appear. That's mentioned in the manuals too, but its nice to use the load manager and get the numbers there.

You also need to choose a departure runway and input the outside air temperature and wind component.
