There used to be a thread about this model in here somewhere...appears it has been dumped, I've searched on just about any combination of ALPHA, C-17 c17 etc and can't locate it.

Whatever...there is a 2d panel update available for download at ALPHASIM

Lighting can be dimmed for various elements

but to be honest, "my" freeware panel does most things just as well.

I could've lived with a minipanel, and (lots of) goodies in the VC.

The panel has taken some effort to produce, so the model has clearly not been forgotten.
Let's hope ALPHASIM can produce a really good VC.
This is still one of the most expensive fligtsim models ever...it needs to have all the bits to justify that price tag.

:salute:
I was looking for an earlier thread where I had posted some screens.
The search function did not throw up your thread either however so I assume it is broken.

Interesting, been out of the FS scene last couple years. Still have some Freeware C-17's, never been happy with the Panels back then. I've worked on C-17 program since '87. Sent Owen Hewitt of FSD back when (years ago) tons of data to help him...never knew what came out of it.

FSD did complete a really good C-17 for FS2004.

I seem to remember they packaged a T-38 with a C-17 but it was payware...haven't seen it since.

But did it come with a proper C-17 panel?

The version I had used the B747 default panel. Can't remember wether it used default sounds as well.

Okay - I made a mistake here... It came bundled with the FSD T-38. (Buy one, get one free kinda deal).

Albeit a bit dated, the visual model is still very nice. I installed a different panel, It does use the B747 stock panel right out of the box. The FSD C-17 also uses stock B747 sounds.

The T-38 is very nice too, it has it's own panel which works well and is very functional. The model is so frame rate friendly that it's like slicing through butter with a hot knife. There are a ton of superb repaints as well for both models.
