July 4, 200916 yr Hi.I was wondering if anyone had heard anything anywhere about the Alphasim C17 Globemaster at all.The last I heard was that they were checking and testing the gauges etc, but this was ages ago.Thanks.

July 4, 200916 yr Hi.I was wondering if anyone had heard anything anywhere about the Alphasim C17 Globemaster at all.The last I heard was that they were checking and testing the gauges etc, but this was ages ago.Thanks.Its still an active project, they posted some exterior screenshots on in late May.See this thread in the unofficial forum for a few screens from Pierre.http://www.virtualavia.com/alphasim/e107_p...opic.php?1054.0I worked on the MFD displays and,MCK, MCD (or FMS) ages ago, but they recently asked me to re-do the HUD, so there's definitely development activity going on.I still have the early prototype, and even in that early state its was pretty nice. I really do hopeit gets completed and released I think people would like it.I wish I could give you more info than that, but that's all I know, they are pretty tight lipped over there at AS.Regards.Ernie.
July 5, 200916 yr Author Hi.Thanks Ernie, much appreciated.I was kind of hoping that it might be ready for release soonish.Thanks again. Steve.

October 5, 200916 yr Half of it (the visual model + sounds) was released on October 1st; the virtual cockpit and avionics are supposed to follow a few months down the road.http://www.alphasim.co.uk/as_showcase_c-17.html
October 5, 200916 yr I am glad to see some development in the C-17 project. It seems like years since it was first announced at AS. They say the VC is a few months down the road from being released. I think they said the same thing about the plane when they first announced they were going to make the C-17. The exterior looks great, but I wish they had posted some interior shots of the cargo bay with their screenshots.Will there be an extra charge for the VC when it is released? If so, $58.75 US for an aircraft that has a 2D cockpit is an awfully steep price, IMHO.

October 5, 200916 yr they said the VC would be a free upgrade for people who have already purchased But we've heard such stories before, haven't we? Everyone learns his own lessons and governs his own money anyway.
