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 1 - Shortly after Initial Release |
Walkaround Items - Pitots, RBF, Tire Pressure | Ongoing Implementation | Update 1 - Shortly after Initial Release. Excluded from initial release due to a core bug. |
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, with improvements to come. | Update 2: Improvements to the Elect Buses and XFER. |
Circuit Breakers | Not Modeled. | Not planned. |
Fuel Tanks | Yes, ER System Modeled. | |
Fuel Dumping/XFEED | Not on Initial Release. | Update 2: Added support for XFEED and Fuel Dumping. |
Hydraulic System | Supported, further improvements to come. | Custom Hydraulic System Simulated. Update 2: Improvements on Native FS24 Hydraulics |
Pneumatic/Environmental System | Supported, further improvements to come. | Custom ENVR System simulated. Update 2: FS2024 Full Support of native ENVR System. |
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 |
