McDonnell Douglas DC-10

Mod BaconAircraft  8.2 years ago

After 12 days of work this beauty is finally finished! I tried to do everything I can to keep the part count as low as possible, to make sure everyone may have a chance to fly it! Plus, it's up to you to paint it to your favorite liveries!

CONTROLS:
Throttle: All 3 engines
Brake: Reverse thrust + Spoilers
VTOL: Wing Flaps
TRIM: Elevator trim.
AG-1: Landing lights.
AG-2 + TRIM: Cargo Door.
AG-8 Disable: Double engine failure, no flaps, no reverse thrust, no inboard roll control, decreased maneuverability. Good luck landing on 1 tail mounted engine.

TAKEOFF: 100%, Trims, Flap 1 slot down.
LANDING: 20%, TRIM, Flap full.
EMERGENCY LANDING (DOUBLE ENGINE FAILURE): 100%(1 engine), Flap 1 slot down, use trim.

CREDITS:
Various rotators: BRuthless
Some lights: BaconEggs
Designer: SimpleDesigner by Tully2001 (It looks good, but a little too small..)
Building style: Typical REW build
XML modding: Me
XML scaling: Me
...the landing gears were a disappointment

HISTORY:
The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engine wide-body jet airliner manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. The DC-10 has range for medium- to long-haul flights, capable of carrying a maximum of 380 passengers. Its most distinguishing feature is the two turbofan engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. The model was a successor to McDonnell Douglas's DC-8 for long-range operations, and competed in the same markets as the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, which has a similar layout. In its early years the DC-10 had a poor safety record; however, this has greatly improved over time. Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989 with 386 delivered to airlines or used to carry freight and 60 to the U.S. Air Force as air-to-air refueling tankers, designated KC-10 Extender. (Wikipedia)

    So for starters I wanna say I'm in love with your airplanes. They're awesome!

    Also, I was wondering if you would be opposed to me... borrowing the wings from this one? I really like them...

    Alright I got something, the refueling function works, the refuel stick thing moves, but it is really laggy. I think I can fix this by changing the parts, but just a heads up

    May I re upload this as a KC-10? I am going to add a re fuel stick (I don't know what else to call it sorry) and re paint it all grey, and credit will be given of course. I might consider being a livery creator, but I am going to also try to make an L-1011 out of this. Credit will be given of you allow me to. Thank you.
