Great addon but it could use some polishing up. Particularly the autopilot controls in both the 2D & 3D cockpit are a bit quirky and designed kinda weird making it a little confusing to operate if you don't know what to look for. For example there are two buttons to turn on and off the altitude hold and the CRS is what you need to press to activate the NAV mode to utilize the GPS autopilot function when it should just be a button called NAV1 or something like that. Also no obvious way to open the cargo bay door & did not come with any instructions on how to do it via key commands. If anyone can post instructions on how to operate the cargo bay door that would be much appreciated. It does not come with any skins and I get why so I'm not going to whine and complain about that as most users do with addons like this. Its a great plane & its fairly easy to fly for such a large jet.

What is up with all the dlc's with auto pilot issues. This is another one. You take off, file a flight plan, get pointed in the right direction, set the auto pilot, sit back and relax and start to enjoy the flight.......wait a minute, why am I diving? what happened to the AP? What, what, what? ANOTHER plane with an ap issue. WTF?

Well I have owned three versions of this that I paid for and I have no idea what the hell they've done but they ruined this aircraft with their BS copy protection that messes up the ability to use this with anything like AirHauler2. Now I imagine they'll give you the run around telling you that oh it's not our model but something to do with Airhauler itself. Don't believe it I bought this for FSX 15 years ago it was buggy and needed work I bought it for P3D it was better but still problematic and now I have this POS for FSXSE and its worse than ever. When it works on its own it is fine I love it, or I wouldn't have bought it 3 times, but they Fd with it too much and ruined it.I can't even load textures from my other versions to run on this and only because they've obviously done some copy protection BS that wont allow it like every TDS freeware aircraft ever done. Great model but definitely not worth the headache. don't buy.

Great aircraft, flies like a feather. Only thing to be cautious of is the actual in flight weight. When taking off or landing it's important to reber that 100% fuel equals 250,000 LBS (approx.) so watching the airspeed indicator is important, and being gentle is equally important. Other than that it's my favorite plane in the game and has beautiful flaps when set to FULL.

This DLC is awesome, the airplane looks awesome! The 3D cockpit is really detailed. You can open the cargo door, left/right parachute door and another door (i guess for the pilots or something).
Im not a real pilot, so I have no idea about realism. This plane is really easy to fly (I like to be challenged however, so that part is a bit boring), but landing on a really short runway is a nice challenge :P.

This DLC leaves ALOT to be desired... If you just want the aircraft, that's cool, but don't expect any good liveries. You're given the basic grey, with no decals or markings. If you do want new liveries either make them yourself or buy the packs from other sim websites.
However, the actual model itself is excellent. The landing gear moves how it should, the slats come out, spoilers act correctly when turning, and overall they did a decent job.
But there's a lot of stuff missing as well though. Strobing recognition lights, retractable nose and winglet lights, APU door doesnt open, proper flowlines, and lastely no freakin liveries!
The flight model seems decent, ILS and all of the fancy stuff works. It's really easy to fly both VFR and IFR, and everything just feels right.
All in all I give this a solid 7/10... Even with all the stuff that was either missed or just not put into the model, the plane is definitely worth buying when it's on sale.
Until they put more liveries in the steam shop here, this will stay a solid 7/10 in my eyes. Simply because I love this plane, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone on the fence about it.

Nice aircraft, good value for the money, though note it's an update of a legacy product by Virtavia previously available for FSX, so it's not quite as nicely done as more recent products for FSX, however the sound quality is second to none! Also this Steam version includes only one paint scheme, though you can purchase several more repaints from Virtavia for $9.00.
I opened a support ticket with Virtavia because I had trouble manaully starting the engines. Virtavia was responsive and patent. After some research I determined that I wasn't starting with a fully cold & dark cockpit. A FLT file I downloaded from:

fixed the issue,

If you love the Air Force and Cargo Planes you will most likely love this plane. Not all the features work but that is expected from FSX. To open the cargo ramp press shift+E then 2 immediately after. In all, Great product to buy if you like the Air Force and Cargo Planes.

Very good DLC, worth the money. Highly detailed and most things are pressable. Little bit tough to fly. Havent figured out how to open the cargo door yet. Only one bug: Sometimes the plane descents very rapidly out of nowhere in mid flight. Just turn the autopilot off and on again should fix it tho. Happend to me 2 out of 5 flights.
