Big Heavy Military Jets?

[dougal]

I thought I'd add a quality military heavy to my hangar, but not sure what's around....

I've just read Bill Stack's review of the Aera51 C-5M, and quite like the idea of that. I don't think they get much bigger do they?

Does anyone do a payware C-17, or even the big daddy of 'em all - the AN225?

Welcome any input

Thanks

C-17

Both freeware...The An-225 is definitely worth downloading, C-17 is mediocre.

Theres also the payware Alphasim C-17 but that has no interior.

Heres a thread about the AN-225

Funny, am in the middle of monopolizing my FSX time on the UKMIL C-17 (each new aircraft I "discover" is like a 3-4 love affair . . and then I am on to the next one . .).

If you can manage as I did to merge the model with the default 747 VC (and at one's option the default 747 2d panel), throw on some shockwave light and then get the AI environment (MAIW or PAI) up and working around Elmendorf AK or Charleston SC it completely transforms the experience. It is a lot of fun to fly and can get into some incredibly short fields for a heavy jet that otherwise can fly intercontinentally. Give it a try.

also look for tom124x.zip at flightsim.com for an AN124 made by the same guy that made the AN225.

WOW! Thanks guys.

Where've I been.....? I had no idea there was an FSX native AN225. I have some of his other aircraft. He's very talented.

I did purchase the Area51 C-5M, but didn't get any kind of download link or email.

Anyone know their system?

Thanks

I had the same "problem" with the C-5. The download link in on the C-5's product page under the screen shots and list price.

... C-17 is mediocre.

Very mediocre.

This UKMIL C-17 flight seems a big space ship not an aircraft! you can spinning and take acrobatic flights without crashing

Thanks for the download heads-up - what a silly place to put it eh?

How long did you wait for an activation email?

When I bought the Kiowa Warrior from Area 51, it took around 45 minutes to receive the email.
