C-17 Globemaster III

1,511 YourAverageAviator  2.3 years ago

The McDonnell Douglas/Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a large military transport aircraft that was developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) from the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 carries forward the name of two previous piston-engined military cargo aircraft, the Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II. I started working on this Plane a little over a year ago and then took a break, but I finally got it finished. I won't say it is the best at flying, but it does the job and looks beautiful. AG-1 is Lights, Enjoy!

Here are some pictures of the real C-17 in-flight.

    @Markjn go for it! I haven’t played this game in years and I could care less lol. Pretty cool that you could get it working though

    Looks great, I'll try flying it now. ...OK, Needed the horizontal stabilizer leveled out so it wasn't aiming the plane downward as much. Added trim control too. Flies much better now. OK if I post the adjusted version with attribution?

    @TheAirbusLover Thanks! I am not real proud of its controllability, but it seems pretty successful!
