FSD C-17 Who Knew........

Postby MIKE JG » Sun Nov 12, 2006 8:50 pm

I had no idea that this was even out there in payware land.  This is offered as a piggy back addition to the FSD T-38 payware model.  Looks like this is an unfinished model of this aircraft that was on its way to being completed but never quite got there.

It's fairly straight forward with a basic and unfinished VC, but I don't mind as complex VCs just drag my system's performance through the mud.  It also does not come with a 2D panel.  So basically you are getting a 3D exterior model and an unfinished VC, not bad for $4.00 American. ;)

FDE is not too bad, it's got a couple little quirks but overall with a good sound package that you can install via any one of the several for this model that are available as well as Mike Stone's C-17 panel, you get a nice little product.

Rear doors do open to reveal an M-1A tucked neatly away in the cargo hold.  The reverse works well and just like the real deal the model backs up very easily.

I took some shots paired up with an AI C-17 out of McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma, Washington.

Here is the VC, you can see the PFDs and MFDs as well as the standybye guages don't work.  I wish I knew how to "fill in the blanks" so to speak.

The VC looks great if you ignore that none of the gauges work. ;D

I should clarify.  It costs $4.00 but you can only buy it as a packaged deal with the FSD T-38.  So you get both models for a $16 total.
