Maybe you all knew about this already but our German friwnd tom Ruth had uploaded some beautiful DC-10s and L-1011 with his trademark wonderful VCs for FSX at Simviation.
Thank you Tom.
We really, really appreciate folks like you.

Not at my sim pc to verify ... but looking at the contents of the folders, it looks like the VCs for both the DC-10 and L-1011 are merely the ones from the same dev's B727 - the separate interior model is labeled "tom_727200_interior.mdl. Not pouring cold water on the effort, since the exterior models do look nice, and his B727 is the nicest 727 in FSX this side of payware.

Given the massive effort needed for a proper VC project, it is easy to understand why the shortcut was taken. Some may or may not be able to suspend disbelief - I personally still find 2D panels the better way to go for many portions of airliner work, so that would be my workaround - at least for the L-1011 - take out the VC and sub in the panel from HJG ....

Anyway, good to have these - thanks Tom:guinness:

The current VC is till better than the payware CLS DC/KC-10 that I have.

Hey Bjoern, could you pass along to Tom over there on this forum you linked above? The aft right cargo door is always partially open on the KC-10 during FSrecorder playback of the model. It's not a huge prob, but if he's making improvements, that could go on the list.

Most excellent!!

Reading between the lines, it looks like a fairly comprehensive offering (original DC-10, MD-11, and KC-10), which is nice. My personal preference is the older versions of jets, in this case the DC-10-10, so I'm personally stoked about that. However, looking more universally, the various versions will target a very broad target of DC-10 enthusiasts, so kudos to Tom and team.

Thanks for the h/u, B!

ps - I liked the Napoleanic era frigate .... what was that about? :)

Write him an e-mail. It's quicker. And more accurate.

Just model he build IRL made for FSX.
 
Cool.

I said "team" since I don't know for certain he's not got some helpers/repainters as part of that project. Just a bit of CYA, in this recent era of hightened forum sensitivity ...

I'm quite impressed with detail around the center-engine thrust reverser ... very sharp.
