C-17/C-5M in the works

[Lenny]

Seems that Area51 Simulations has an C-17 Globemaster III comming, and also an C-5M Super Galaxy (both fs9/fsx)

see : http://www.area51sim.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3

grtz,

Could someone clarify if either of these will be native FSX addons?

[Rezabrya]

Yes they will be. If you read the thread, they will have an FS9 version and then a completely new native FSX version.

[Kavehpd]

About time...

Yes they will be. If you read the thread, they will have an FS9 version and then a completely new native FSX version.

Hopefully they will decide to do the FSX version first and have more detail... :mixedsmi:

Though I don't know if they will suit my desires regardless. I wouldn't want to fly a C-5M without all the fancy avionics and systems modeling that makes it a C-5M over the old versions.

Time to coerce PMDG to do a military aircraft lol.

Very cool! thanks for the HU Lenny!!

Just realized they are the same group that did the Cobra at simmarket, nice work.

So, who's C-17 will be first to hit the streets...

We have none and soon there will be three (AS, UKMIL and now this new outfit).

Will any of the three have decent systems modeling? FMC et al?

[StormtrooperSHQ]

I know Area51 made a damn fine AH-1S. Always flying it.

Good question.....

You might be surprised by the UKMIL C-17.

Just got the AH-1 Cobra from Area 51 for a very reasonable price. She flies very well, the vc cockpit is good and the external model is excellent. There is a nice group of paints included. I highly recommend this bird. Check out the site. You can't go wrong.

[Xilence]

I saw at the Area-51 site that you also have a F-22 Raptor planned? Why did you choose to do the C-17 and/or C-5M first while there are several alternatives being developed or already released by other developers?

If I were you I'd do the F-22 first. But then again, I'm more into fighters than into freighters, so :P.

ours will not have a true to life VC, and will only have basic VC setup due to limited XML Gauge programming knowledge by myself, but it will be free, and will fill a gap.

Bless you sir!!!! Looking forward to the finished/polished version.
