Simulated Systems & Roadmap

Please refer to the following table for descriptions of aircraft systems and functions modeled on this rendition of the C-17 Globemaster III. Please understand that we must comply with limitations regarding 3rd party add-on support due to this being a Microsoft Flight Simulator stock aircraft.

Item
Simulated
Notes

EFB - to - MSN/FMS Synchronization

Ongoing Implementation

Update 2 - Known Isue

Walkaround Items - Pitots, RBF, Tire Pressure

Ongoing Implementation

Available starting Update 1

Tactical Descent, in-flight Reversers.

Ongoing Implementation

MSFS Does not natively support reversers while inflight. Update 2 - System Bypass to enable reversers in-flight.

Flap Index Manual Selection

Ongoing Implementation

Update 2 - System Bypass to enable Flap Index selection.

MFD, Primary Flight Display

Yes, accurately simulated and functional.

MFD, Navigation Display

Yes, see notes.

Full Compass and MAP pages are supported. MSN (FlightPlan), VOR1, and VOR2 Navigation supported. TAWS and WX Supported.

Planned Update: TCN1/TCN2

MFD, PPI

Yes, see notes.

TCAS Supported. WX and TAWS Supported. SKE not supported.

MFD, Engine and Config

Yes, accurately simulated and functional.

HUD

Yes, accurately simulated and functional.

FMC

Yes, though pages have been excluded. See notes.

All 4 screens are independent and functional. Various MSN pages have not been depicted due to military classification of such displays. Performance pages are unavailable due to the lack of publicly available performance tables. PERF will be supported in the future through an update, as we are creating our own through extensive sim testing

Navigation and Communication Displays

Yes, see notes.

Supported: COM1, COM2, NAV1, NAV2, TCN1, TCN2, ADF, IFF. Other modes (VHF, UF, etc.) not supported.

STBY Engine Display and LIMIT/RATING

Yes.

Warning and Avisory Panel

Yes.

STBY Radio

Not Modeled.

INOP.

Cockpit Clocks

Yes.

Elapsed Time and Clock

Bearing, Distance, Heading Indicator

Yes.

Full Support for ADF, VOR, TCN

Terrain Advisory System

Yes, MFD + Audio Calls

Weather Radar

Yes

IRS Alignment (All Four IRS Systems)

Yes, Simplified

Alignment time has been reduced, IRS will align with no additional FMC Input.

Electrical System

Yes

Circuit Breakers

Not Modeled.

Not planned.

Fuel Tanks

Yes, ER System Modeled.

Fuel Dumping/XFEED

Yes

Available starting Update 1

Hydraulic System

Yes

Custom Hydraulic System Simulated.

Pneumatic/Environmental System

Yes

Custom ENVR System simulated.

Pressurization System/Panel

Supported, further improvements to come.

Basic implementation of the system. Planned Update: Further expansion of the PRESS system.

RAM Air Turbine

Not Modeled.

Autopilot

Yes, Simplified.

Some modes (EPR, SKE, PACAH, etc.) Have been excluded.

Lateral Navigation (LNAV), TOD Calculations

Yes, fully implemented.

Vertical Navigation (VNAV), TOD Calculations

Excluded from Initial Release due to existing bugs.

VNAV has been implemented, however, it was decided to exclude it from initial release due to various bugs. Implementation will be completed in a future update.

Pause on TOD

Not Implemented.

Airdrop

Not on initial release.

Planned in a future update.

Ramp Doors, Paratrooper Doors, Side Door

Yes, fully modeled.

Flap Index

Not on initial release.

May come in a future update, to be decided. High complexity/low impact.

Loadmaster Station

Partially Simulated.

Most switches on Loadmaster Station do not apply for MSFS Simulations. However, some extra functions may be added in the future.

Fly By Wire

Yes, Pitch, Roll and Yaw

Threat Detection, Threat Defense

For Display Only

Modeled but no real funtion associated.

Engine/APU Fire

Not Modeled.

Will not be modeled due to licensing reasons.

Failures

Not Modeled.

Will not be modeled due to licensing reasons.

Navigraph EFB Integration

Not Modeled.

Not Planned

CPDLC/SayIntentions Oceanic

Not Modeled.

Not Planned

Simbrief FMC Integration

Compatible
