M.Corp C-3 Arctos (NATO report name Cut) is a strategic airlifter of the M.Corp. It is a four engine, high wing turboprop.
Design:
M.Corp C-3 is a large turboprop transport aircraft designed to operate in rough environment. It can use unprepared runways, and has a takeoff run of only 820m. Its sturdy landing gear and rugged construction allow this plane to withstand very hard landings. Double slotted flaps and powerful pitch control allow for landing speed of around 200km/h.
C-3 is capable of transporting both cargo and troops. Cargo hold is equipped with a crane, winch, and rails for moving containers. It can be equipped with seats for up to 120 fully armed soldiers, which can be airdropped via loading ramp. Maximum cargo capacity is 31t.
Arctos Is powered by four turboprop engines driving eight-bladed, fully feathering, reversible scimitar type constant speed propellers. Output of each engine is 6000shp.
Features:
- Custom cockpit (exterior only) (not made by QuingyuZhou);
- Custom landing gear;
- Custom realistic airfoil;
- Smooth and realistic controls;
- Long, almost realistic takeoff run;
- Realistic sound;
- retractable landing lights;
- M.Corp Air Force insignia;
- Name suggested by Dimkal;
- Eight-bladed scimitar propellers suggested by BogdanX;
- Many details, including RDF antennas, flush communication antennas, short waive ground communication antennas, ADF antenna,...
Controls:
- Standard flight controls;
- Ag1 - takeoff flaps;
- Ag2 - short takeoff / normal landing flaps;
- Ag1+2 - short landing flaps;
- Ag3 - refueling probe.
Thanks to all my friends who tested this plane and gave feedback and ideas.
Enjoy.

@KnightOfRen thanks.
This is really cool! I love it! Great work!
@Hawkeye156 because Arctos is Greek for bear.
@EternalDarkness long, long time ago i was here...
Ähhh why arctos and not actros?;-) (mercedes benz)
@havoc it doesn't happen on my computer. It did when I tried to have actual suspension.
Landing gear are glitching out for me. Bounces the plane around everywhere when I load in.
@Kimcotupan15 thanks :)
Ooh the overall plane is nicely carved, and realistic, it almost burn my phone 😂
@BurkeEnterprise and in Africa, Siberia, and a few other inhospitable places.
Seems like this would work very well in the Canadian north!
@8bitgamer33 if you are playing on PC, use "mouse as joystick". Right click.
There is no option to only pull up halfway though
@8bitgamer33 don't pull up all the way. You are stalling elevators. They need more speed to be effective at full deflection.
I was unable to get this plane to fly at all, even with the flaps.
@ThePilotDude then you shouldn't have any problems. If you know how to fly a plane, anyway. Wait for it to speed up to 180km/h (110mph), and pull back on the stick until the nose starts to go up. Not all the way, as that may stall elevators and delay takeoff. It should take around 550-650m for takeoff. Real one would take around 800-850m. And only use takeoff flaps. Landing flaps have too much drag. This is a realistically-performing plane.
@ChiChiWerx thanks.
Very easy to fly assault landings to Bandit Airfield. Fun to fly, I like the work with the drag reduction, accelerates pretty realistically.
@ThePilotDude did you use flaps?
Looks very nice!
@KerlonceauxIndustries An-12, to be more precise.
Cool!
@CSP27 @Blue0Bull thanks.
Who thought Planes Could be that awesome?
Not me
I love that plane
I'll love to see the use of the second plane ''picture'' in your descriptive picture
Like a detail on The right or on The under of the craft
@randomusername that was fast.
