FSX Boeing C-17 Cargomaster III

Boeing C-17 Globemaster III brings modern strategic airlift to Microsoft Flight Simulator X, capturing the heavy-lift transport’s short-field utility with animated forward crew door plus rear cargo doors and ramp for loading scenes. A fully functional 2D cockpit supports immersive military operations and cargo runs across rugged airstrips.

FSX Boeing C-17 Cargomaster III Intended to replace the venerable C-141, the C-17 fulfills the airlift mission like no aircraft before it. Able to lift bulky heavy loads it can operate out of airstrips that were previously reachable only by much smaller aircraft. By Mike Stone.

FSX Boeing C-17 Cargomaster III

This aircraft was built for use in Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX. I am not sure if it will work in FS2004 but you are free to try!


---> Special thanks to Mike Stone for the base model of this aircraft which, without it, this repaint model would not be possible. <---


Installation
------------

Simply copy the entire "Royal Air Force C17 Globemaster III" folder contained in this zip file to the

"Microsoft Flight Simulator/SimObjects/aircraft" folder on your PC.

Shift-E to open the forward crew door. Shift-E then 2 opens the rear cargo doors and lowers the ramp.

The cockpit is fully functional, but it has no VC.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.

  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    I not sure whats up but everytime i com in to land the plane pulls left. I try to rudder over to get in line but to no effect. Plane Dog legs but still drifts left. Im new to the flight sim but never have the issue on other planes. If I Autopilot in right up till touch down I land with no issue. Not sure whats up.

    Great sim, ramps work, crew entrance, but no gauges in V/C. If you want a good looking sim, that flys good, looks impressive, and stops and takes off as advertised by the real thing, and can live without throwing a few switches, Get it! My Air Force is growing, and this was a good addition.
