New DC-10 (work in progress)

[Wotaplonker 1]

I see CLS are working on a new DC-10 model, it looks to be quite good, I hope it performs as it should.

 

The reason I am posting is that due to there not being a quality DC-10 for FSX/P3D I have become used to the glass cockpit of the MD-11 over the last few years.

 

It's a fine plane but my heart belongs with the DC-10, preferring the soulful wail of the CF6-50s to the mournful howl of the 11's CF6-80s.

 

So wouldn't it be fantastic if CLS did an MD-10 FedEx model.

 

All the best bits from both types, the chubby &@($* dragging stance of a heavy 10 and her rip roaring engines combined with the ease of one man desktop piloting in the glass cockpit.

 

Some of you simmers with a fondness for 3 holer types may recall the attempt to release a model by a company called XSimulate a few years ago, I hope CLS deliver the goods and it doesn't end up a failed project.

 

I hope you all had a merry Christmas, happy landings in the new year.

 Hope it gets done.  I had heard this a long time ago.  Is there some new information?

[Jude Bradley 659]

Am looking forward to their A380 for P3D

There is some news on their Facebook presence: https://www.facebook.com/commerciallevel

Not having a Facebook account I am able to read but the headlines ... however, with the entry there dating February 2015 I would call it good news :smile:

Best

Good find.  Will be nice to fly the DC 10 again with a new model and nice VC.

[Pugilist2 878]

Hope it's also available in FS9.

Wonder when the new DC10 will arrive? :rolleyes:

Is the add to basket product the new one or the 2007 version?  Cant tell if its actually released. I just see beta previews from April.

Doesnt look too bad. I wonder how the systems depth is like given CLS history.

 

The soundset seems to be lacking, but it was a beta and a youtube video so who knows.

[Pugilist2 878]

It's the 2007 version.  Also anxious for the A380.

So far I've taken two flights with this new version, one in P3D2.5 and another in FSX:SE. The P3D was KORD-KDTW and upon entering approach to 22R the dreaded VAS shortage alarm started. Ended up saving flight and restarting to complete. In FSXSE I attempted pattern work at KBDL and on downwind heard the same wonderful chime. So, seems like a big time VAS 'hog'. I like the new plane and cockpit , sounds, flight dynamics, etc but no other plane I fly sucks VAS like this one.

 

Anyone else?

It's a shame they didn't include the MD-10 variant, Greg.  

[Chocorua 112]

Yea and it's a shame I cannot fly the thing without running out of VAS. At this point it's not usable to me. However I'll keep lowering display settings and see if I can find a way.

Same here. Impossible to finalize a flight without VAS in P3D2.5. Any possible solution?
