Photorealistic DC-10 - They don't make them like this now !

I wonder how was he convinced of releasing the DC-10, actually. I always knew he didn't upload his panels (the ones we saw in YouTube), but until recently I didn't know about this exception...or what tools did he use for creating them.

PS: I see he still keeps a 4:3 monitor, and managed to never switch to 16:9.

  • Yes, indeed. Looking back, FS9 wasn't particularly impressive compared to today's tech.  But the key difference was having skilled, professional programmers making such remarkable software.

    I mean...we had the same with fs9 and fsx....  Plenty of wilcopub or abacus or even carenado back then  We just have way more developers now in msfs.  So yes, naturally there is a bell curve of q

    As a former Dc10 flight engineer, I agree with you. Too bad we don't have one in MSFS24 and 20! Lots of boring Bus and 737 anyway 😁

Yeah that is incredible that he still uses a 4:3... well I still use two CRT monitors  😅

Just wanted to make a post update: after some testing and frequent Crash to Desktop, I realised the free HJG DC-10 outperforms this addon. The fuel system too has issues that need correction.

Ed is still very much here. I emailed him yesterday. Nice, helpful guy. 🙂

Thank you Joshua!

I wanted to provide an important long-term update regarding this add-on for anyone looking at this thread today.

When I originally posted this video, I was in the initial installation phase. However, after extensive flight testing across multiple computer configurations, several severe, unpatched defects have emerged. The aircraft suffers frequent and repeatable Crashes to Desktop (CTD), particularly during the landing phase.

Furthermore, the core fuel system logic is fundamentally bugged. Transferring fuel mathematically multiplies the weight mid-flight rather than shifting it, completely breaking realistic fuel planning. The developer has confirmed this specific coding defect in writing.

I therefore can no longer stand by my initial impressions. I highly recommend looking at the stable freeware HJG DC-10 alternative instead.

Prospective buyers should exercise caution.
