TFDi MD-11 in FlightFabric: voice commands, cockpit controls and live data
One of FlightFabric’s most developed integrations, with dedicated cockpit controls, voice commands and live data to try in the public alpha. Testing is incomplete across controls and variants; start with the notes below.
What has been checked
The individual controls were checked with a parked, powered TFDi MD-11 PW4462 in MSFS 2024: IAS, heading, altitude, exterior lights, signs, inHg pressure and radio minimums. Settings were changed and restored using independent aircraft readback. The four flight-phase light presets use those same light controls; their grouped sequences have passed software checks and still await a simulator check.
These controls are available in FlightFabric 0.11.0 and later. Autopilot engagement, flight-guidance mode changes, radios and deeper systems remain outside this control set. Other MD-11 variants and airborne operation have not been live-validated.
Aircraft profiles
The app includes profiles for this aircraft. Inclusion does not mean every variant has been tested. Check that FlightFabric identifies your loaded aircraft correctly.
- TFDi Design MD-11
Vendor: TFDi Design. Other McDonnell Douglas MD-11 products from other developers are not covered by this page.
What you need
- FlightFabric 0.13.2 on the Windows PC that runs Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with the aircraft installed. MSFS and the aircraft are separate products; FlightFabric is free and needs no account.
- Some controls use the separately installed MobiFlight Event Module, enabled in MSFS 2024 My Library. Aircraft data stays viewable without it; the affected controls, marked below, stay disabled until it is detected.
- Voice control is optional and runs offline in the desktop app; the voice-control guide covers microphone and push-to-talk setup in five steps.
Try saying
These examples match phrases in the app’s command catalogue. Recognition and the aircraft’s response still need checking on your setup. Hold push-to-talk, speak, release, then check the result in the cockpit. Numbers are spoken as digits, so 270 is “two seven zero”.

These entries describe the app’s intended controls and data. They are generated from its catalogue, and listing an entry does not confirm it has been tested on your setup.
How the app labels it: TFDi integration LVARs Controls and live data
Its Aircraft page describes the integration as “Flight guidance targets, exterior lights, cabin signs and approach settings.”
Command mappings
Commands listed by the app, grouped by cockpit system. Descriptions state the intended action; they do not establish a successful simulator test. Check current availability in the Aircraft page or Control library. Setting a heading or altitude target does not engage the autopilot.

Presets
Presets group several intended switch changes. Testing an individual switch does not establish that the whole preset works in every situation. Review its settings and check the result in the cockpit.
