Delta Simulations Unveils Highly Realistic C-17 Cockpit Overhead 'c17 cockpit overhead'

Delta Simulations has taken simulation to new heights with its latest release, a highly realistic C-17 Globemaster cockpit for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. This ambitious project has been three years in the making and is now available for download.

One of the most impressive features of this add-on is its accurate depiction of the cockpit overhead. The team at Delta Simulations has worked closely with real-life operators to ensure that every detail is correct, down to 0.5 inches. This level of accuracy is unmatched in any other C-17 simulation available for the civilian market.

But it's not just the looks that impress – the C-17 cockpit also boasts fully functional external and internal lighting systems, including custom landing, navigation, beacon, strobe, formation, and taxi lighting. The team has also included features such as remove before flight covers, cones, openable cargo bay, paratroop doors, UARRSI/Aerial refuelling slipway, radome, and much more.

The add-on also comes with a range of custom cargo options, based on weight, allowing users to simulate different scenarios. The cockpit is highly detailed, with accurate modelling and texturing of the panels, cargo hold, and external model.

But what really sets this simulation apart is its attention to realism. Delta Simulations has taken great care to ensure that the C-17's systems are accurately simulated, including its autothrottles, which were actually a contributing factor in the Kegworth air crash in 1989. The team has worked hard to avoid making the same mistakes and has instead created an add-on that is both realistic and safe.

The C-17 Globemaster is still in active development, with the team continuing to expand on its systems and complexity.
