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
