September 24, 200520 yr Author From a previous post of mine:"My impressions of the C-17:1. VC is OK. At 50% zoom, the view is great outside but the gauges are just readable.2. The model definitely handles like a heavy aircraft but is not unmanageable.3. Framerates are good with most medium settings (on a P4/1.2Ghz/512MB/64MBNvidia) in and out of the cockpit/aircraft.4. The HUD is good in 2D but a bit dark in the VC. I am not sure if there is a way to lighten it.5. The Taxi & Landing lights are too bright, they obscure the view.6. The ground handling is good.I have no real life C-17 experience so take this for it's face value. Definitely install the freeware 2D panel suggested. Not knowing the real layout, I'd like to see a better 2D panel (no disrespect to the creator)."HTH,Jim
