AREA51SIM - C-5M GALAXY OUT NOW @ SimMarket.com

**Kiwikat** · October 27th, 2009, 12:27

That description at simmarket is really poor. There's absolutely nothing about systems modeling or anything like that.

At 11 megs, I wouldn't expect too much depth. Assuming that number is correct.

Thanks for the heads up JetMechanic!

:ernae:

Looks like a nice recreation of the Galaxy. Nice panel. I wonder if those FMC's are functioning?

That fact that the CDUs in the screenshots are showing the autopilot settings? I'd say 99.9% sure there's no Flight Management there beyond default.

C-5A/Bs are the best, with their whining TF39s. A very unique sound, unfortunately to be lost with the new engines.

I Just bought it and must say the pics don't do it justice. I love this plane. They say they are doing a C-17 too so now I can't wait for that.

Only an 11 meg download, that cannot be right surely! It must use default sounds and gauges to be that small!

The size and possible quality (from the shots alone) put it into the catagory of the dear old AlphaSim products of two or three years ago.....but then I saw the price:isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy:

I thought it looked pretty good in those screenshots.

Glad you are enjoying it.

Its difficult to make a plane package small and keep the graphics resolution high.

This discussion is going to eventually come down to "if it's worth it to you for that aircraft then get it, if it isn't, don't. No-one is forcing you to." so I might as well say it before I go to bed.

It does look like a nice model, I'll admit. Although I suspect strongly that there are very few systems there, the gauges don't look entirely default, either - although the functionality behind them may well be. Case in point is the CDU I mentioned earlier that shows autopilot modes and settings. That must be a new gauge, albeit showing information that is almost certainly from the default functions available through the SDK without custom coding.

You first!

**Gdavis101** · October 27th, 2009, 17:44

I think I am going to want this one.. Have to reinstall FSX first though, making the transition to Windows 7.

I'm not going to be the guinea pig for a 43 dollar 11 meg product. It doesn't sound like there's a whole lot of cool development in this one. It might just be a straight forward product. I do really want it though.

There have been plenty of products I've wanted really bad that I haven't bought because they weren't worth it.

Just realized that Photobucket shrunk the max image size. Sorry, they are small and don't show the detail as well.

So does it have programmable FMC?

I upload my pics to photobucket in jpg format and it keeps the size. Maybe photobucket does not like PNGs..?

I never mess with the FMC so I really can't give an accurate answer. I don't believe it does because the only thing that is there is Autopilot. Here is a pic. Thanks for the JPEG info.
