Well, in my spare time, i've started this McDonnell Douglas DC-10 ( or the 30 series ) in Gmax. It's about 15% complete, with the basic structure modeled.

I'll also try to build a DVC and Panel for it, unfortunately, i dont make sounds for FS.



The engines and wing...




The full body without the left side




Comments are welcome

Looks nice already, but i wonder where you modelers get your info. It seems a HUGE task to perform, designing a plane from scratch! I can only say, respect!

Well, chiefly i use web 3 views and data from Robert Hewson's Commercial Aircraft and Airliners

All I'll say is please make animations mapped correctly.  There's nothing more annoting than hitting the tailhook button and having a cargo door open up.

Looks real good so far though.  Hope she's not a FPS hog! Good work.

looks good so far

Tailhook on a DC-10? Id like to see that you could use it to land on short fields and use rato's to take off again...

any chance in making a KC-10 version? I wouldn't care if the boom was animated or not. Just a simple boom for show and a nice Travis or McGuire paint scheme would be a beauty!

is Craig ill or did he skip this thread...he'd love it! me too by the way  ;)

Incase you were curious, i was going to make a KC-10A version planespotter.

If you need a beta tester please let me know  ;D
