Virtavia C-17 Globemaster III is OUT!!!

Reverse Thrust works OK. FMC not there but I've seen a promise in the relevant section in the manual, that it may be included in future, so lets hope.

As far as it concerns screenshots, I'm not very good in them, like some other collegues in here so I don't won't to ruin your viewpoint. Video wise I'm even worse ...

But it is really nice in and out, if you have the virtavia BONE, it is like BONE+ eye-candy wise.


P.S
Sorry if I offended any fellow simmer, it wasn't on purpose. It came out by finding a criticism attitude for many products lately, only to find out myself that it just highlights personal preferences and or unimportand points that are soon adressed by the developers, if notified in a constructive way. In any case you can have your money back if you don't like it.

I think constructive comments like you just made will give the developers and potential buyers feedback they need and want, therefore preventing the necessity for the vendor to have to pay customers their money back. Cheers! :wavey:

It needs special tallent to take shots like Mal's.

That's why I said that I don't even think about ruining anybody's view with mine..

Really nice shots.
 
That second to last picture in mal's post really emphasizes the size of these things. I am continually amazed at what they can do (real life). One of my favorite flight training memories is a C-17 lifting off as I crossed the runway line in a Diamond Eclipse. Perhaps I will have to buy this one and re-enact the scene.
 
Watched a C-17 perform a max-rate turn at CFB Trenton...inside the airfield boundaries ! Wow.
C-17 reminds me of Thunderbird 2, Virgil's aircraft . LOL

This one looks like a beauty :)
 
Absolutely gonna get this one! Admittedly, would like an FMC (FSAFRANEK, any insight on an upgrade perhaps?). The price is a bit steep, but was going to buy it before at a high price mark too, without the VC, so not definitely want this one.

Fellas,
Thanks for the kind comments on my screenies.

For those who have purchased, your comments and critiques are being taken under advisement and will be incorporated into an update wherever possible.

The Alpha repaints will work on the new Virtavia aircraft.
 
Mal,

Do you have any visibility on the possibility of an FMC addition? As mis-stated in my last post, I most definitely want this, even if there is not an FMC but do think an FMC would help justify the higher price mark for some. Just a thought.

Matt

Matt,
I have forwarded your question to the boss regarding the FMC. I'll certainly let you know if I get any feedback.

It's a fun plane to fly!

Big, yet agile... :wiggle: ya' come screaming into a short runway, deploy the spoilers, slam on the reverse thrusters, tap the brakes... come to a screeching halt...it's fun!

BR's,
mal
 
I'll buy this one after/if they install a FMC in it. For the same money you can get arguably one of the best airliner addons of all time.

I really hope they decide to further develop this one. :wavey:

Mal, thanks for forwarding. I look forward to this and an FMC would certainly qualify this beauty for the higher dollar point. Also, Area 51 made mention of a possible FMC with theirs as well, so hoping the competitive spirit swells to give us more options to choose from. Bottom line, I really like the detail on this and the paints. The FMC would just be the icing on the cake for me.

Please forward my regards to the team for completing their work of art.
Matt

Recommendation for update:

Would it be possible to change the contact points of the tires? Right now they don't look they are carrying any weight for an aircraft this large and heavy.

That's an easy mod you can do yourself by editing the [contact_points] section of the aircraft.cfg file. The original value #3 was "-13.85". Below I've changed it to "-13.70". That presses the tires a bit but not a whole lot since there is no cargo in there. Experiment a little and comment back with your results.

Code: 
//--------0------1-------2-------3--------4------5-----6-------7-----8------9------10------11------12----13---14---15-
point.0 = 1, 58.50, 0.00, -13.70, 1250.00, 0, 1.55, 45.00, 0.68, 2.00, 0.80, 18.00, 13.00, 0, 250, 250
point.1 = 1, -10.00, -13.50, -13.70, 1500.00, 1, 2.05, 0.00, 0.84, 2.25, 0.65, 17.00, 13.00, 2, 250, 250
point.2 = 1, -10.00, 13.50, -13.70, 1500.00, 2, 2.05, 0.00, 0.84, 2.25, 0.65, 17.00, 13.00, 3, 250, 250
