Editorial
Having never had the pleasure of using the real thing in the past, one of the most interesting aspects of potentially flying the C141 Starlifter for me was the idea of actually trying out something new. After so many years of using the same old aircraft and never getting much of a chance to use it properly, I was really excited about finally having a new experience to enjoy! When I downloaded this Starlifter, then, I was not really sure what to expect to begin with – however, what I soon found was that it was one of the most enjoyable aircraft I’ve tried out in a while for sure.
The Design
To start with the design qualities and styles are hugely impressive, and make it very easy to know where you are heading. Something that really impressed me about the design was the fact that the original mod and model was for FS2004 so a huge amount of work has gone into making sure that this looks the part. For my viewing, the word that was being carried out was up there with some of the most enjoyable that I’ve seen in some time – it makes such a considerable difference.
The design, though, was just part of the impressive nature of this mod. With all of the features you would expect to see such as new sounds and cockpit features you can feel like you are flying the real thing. It makes it easy to get to grips with the realism of the flight, for sure.
The Performance
Something that is deeply important when using any mod today is the level of performance that it feeds back to you, and with this it feels spot on. Despite never having the pleasure of using the real thing myself or even being on one I spent a lot of time researching it and seeing what the general idea and script for it seemed to be – well, the write-up was VERY positive!
It’s a hugely impressive piece of kit and with flight dynamics that match the real thing with Mach .74 being possible, this is a whirlwind to fly around with. It’s an excellent system that provides a lot of realism, even with the sounds.
Sounds are picked to make sure they sound just like the real thing and to give you a genuinely enjoyable take on the real thing.
If you aren’t sure about this aircraft or you are like me and have never used it, I recommend you give this a try. It’s a great amount of fun, ensuring that anyone who uses it will get a thrilling and exciting flight experience which will be quite different to your typical experience with an aircraft of this size.

No VC. What a shame. Stock FSX 747 2D panel even more shameful. Great sounds and skinning and flies well, but this is an incomplete model and a disappointment. Could be so much nicer.
no VC why dont people care about this?
Great airplane it flies well. The sounds the textures are mindblowing. I wish it had a more unique cockpit. For some reason that cockpit design has been used in almost every large military jet i've downloaded today including the b2 bomber.
When attempting to install the C-141 keep getting:
"The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author."
Am still trying to figure out how to get to the virtual cockpit. Also, the contents of the zipped file appear to include a lot of cargo stuff. Don't know yet how/if I can access.
Thanks
Like phantomfire1, I flew C-141s out of McGuire AFB, in the 438th MAS. Of couse, the planes I flew did not have the nice new autopilot, nav equipment, or the re-fueling capability. But I am able to remember a lot, and flying it is FUN, FUN, FUN. Brings back old memories. Thanks
