Ahhhhh, THAT would have been great advice in the manuals! Thanks for explaining! In the checklist in the manual it says "ENGINE IGNITION Selector Switch | A or B, or A&B" Could you correct that to explain that only the engines on the associated sides will start?
@@miltechsimulations Excellent, thanks! You're welcome! I guess I'm probably one of the last individuals left to actually read manuals, but I guess there's got to be *some* resource for those who will eventually make the youtube tutorials most people will be using, right? ;-)
Thanks for featuring this aircraft Em, it's one of my favorites. I wish a developer would make an enhancement pack for the C-17, tweaking it for realism and enabling it's party tricks such as the ability to deploy partial reversers in flight for tactical descents, realistic cargo ramp speed etc.
What a brilliant Video, I love your commentary. Clearly evident you are a professional. I loved the comment "It would be nice to have a First Officer". But seriously I wonder would it be possible for the Devs to include this update a some point. First time watching your channel, brilliant.
I was flying to Ramstein yesterday from Lakenheath. I did some highway training landings nearby (A81) with the Indiafoxtechno f35 (Such an amazing aircraft). I was really glad i was able to find the Ramstein Air Base scenery since it was sadly removed from a certain website. Knowing the airport was developed in 2021, this is a true masterpiece. I've been waiting for a good C-17 for a while now because it opens doors to so many military airbases around the world including some International ones like Memphis for example. I haven't flown the C17 in the game yet so I'm really happy that you, my beloved flight sim reviewer takes a loot at it. Seems to be a very good base with some rooms for improvement. I'd like to see a more worked out EFB and i find it very sad that the aircraft is encrypted so we can't add different cargo loads, a cockpit with more wear and tear like they did with the PMDG 737/777 and it seems like it's very hard to create a livery for the C-17 or the A400. REALLY hope this will change in the future. Miltech has provided us with some really cool deveIopments like the aircraft carriers. Emanuel, I'm happy that you are a contributing part of the MSFS community. I've learned a lot from you. Keep up the good work!
Sometimes one has to ask though who decides which information is strategically so important that it has to be classified. I mean what is an enemy going to do with the knowledge of the performance data? Build their own C17? ;)
When I looked at the Cargo Bay layout I couldn't help but realize that the Cargo Bay in Mass Effect , and how it is connected to the rest of the ship is probably inspired by the C17. That aside, this really feels like McDonnelDouglas design. The way the cockpit is designed or the sound of the warnigns are very reminiscent of the MD-11.
Hello Emanuel, There are some indications incorrect. The engine page shows N1Mode in blue and below the N1 value in green. This only should happen when the reversers are on. During normal flight instead of N1Mode, you would read the EPR value in green color and on the line below you wouldnt see the N1 values. It would be blank, you wouldnt see the N1 values. The RA should have the rolling numbers effect. Same for all engine parameters, like you can observe on the fuel flow indicator. That has a rolling number effect. But in my opinion it is the best simulated C-17 so far. P.S. The FMS is called MSN or Mission Computer.
Enjoyed the flight. Very disappointing to see devs pushing out unfinished products, like this. Still, I enjoyed hearing, and watching a real commercial pilot working through the flights with these aircraft models, such as they are. Thanks for the video. :)
Thanks again for another great video! Can't wait to give this one a go. Are you using the cockpit mouse free look in your setup? It's probably the only thing that's not really working well for me in 2024.
I like you trying different things 😁. Maybe if you have time ,the platius 22 would be great. If they fixed it yet anyway. It's the twin jet platus the one with the air ambulance. Thank you for all your videos as they have taught me a lot
Hi A330, I'm a huge fan. I'm just curious: How do you familiarise yourself with different aircraft quickly and easily? You seem to know where everything is so easily. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Looking at the relationship between the FPM and the nose position (W) marker in the HUD. Either the hud is wrong, or the fight model is very bad, the way the FPM stayed locked together with the nose position looked like its flying on rails
Thank you, Emi, I was looking forward to this one. Lovely aircraft, but seems to need to a lot of work, as at the moment its just another MS (via Miltech) half finished product. MS seem to be the new EA to me, just release loads of broken content without really fixing any of it.
Not any time soon. Waste of money and effort in my opinion. A plane we already have in study level form for an outdated simulator and at an extraordinary price? No thanks. Did they at least include some malware again?
It works really well by now. Sure, still things to change but once a flight has loaded it's a much better experience than 2020. You can find the manuals for most default aircraft here: www.flightsimulator.com/aircraft-manuals/
Aha! Engine Ignition is set to A, (which means - left engines only). Must be set to AB for all four engines to start correctly.
Ahhhhh, THAT would have been great advice in the manuals! Thanks for explaining!

@@A330DriverThe checklists in the tablet have you set it to A/B
Pretty much every one of your videos I “thumbs-up” in the first minutes knowing quite early it will be a good one. Thank you once again!
A new A330 Driver video, and it's my girlfriend's birthday? Damn, today is a good day already!
haha, Happy Birthday to her ;-)
"I sure hope the pilot can keep the uniform on," then proceeds to look back at the female pilot seated behind him🤣🤣🤣. Love it

I think the reason why takeoff performance is not coded in this aircraft is the classified nature of this plane as it is still in service
Sometimes one has to ask though who decides which information is strategically so important that it has to be classified. I mean what is an enemy going to do with the knowledge of the performance data? Build their own C17? ;)

For those shuffling along with MSFS2020 still, don't forget Delta Simulations has a C-17 Globemaster which is pretty nice too (and FREE).
I changed my key binding for the External View from Backspace to Insert, like I had on MSFS2020. Solved my issues when typing wherever.
Hello Emanuel,
There are some indications incorrect.
The engine page shows
N1Mode in blue and below the N1 value in green.
This only should happen when the reversers are on.
During normal flight instead of N1Mode, you would read the EPR value in green color and on the line below you wouldnt see the N1 values.
It would be blank, you wouldnt see the N1 values.
The RA should have the rolling numbers effect.
Same for all engine parameters, like you can observe on the fuel flow indicator.
That has a rolling number effect.
But in my opinion it is the best simulated C-17 so far.
P.S.
The FMS is called MSN or Mission Computer.
Lido charts is a great feature, but unfortunately, an important page for SID - SIDPT is missing, where the routing and initial climb are shown 😕
2:04, Does this look like FSX on laptop wallpaper? :))

how do you remember so many different flight decks to such a level? doesnt it get confusing remembering them all

Okay, so on a serious note... why is the speed tape opposite of most normal airliners? That's just so weird.
How do you walk around the aircraft. I can't figure it out and either get seat or external.
Hi, from the VC use Shift+C
Can you activate reverse thrust in flight like the real bird?
There are plans for that but not for now as MS code doesnt allow for jet engine inflight reverse
Thank you sooooooo much Emmanuel. I know your read my comment.🤣
When fslabs a321?
Not any time soon. Waste of money and effort in my opinion.

Where are these checklists please - in case MSFS ever works

@@A330Driver TThanks - I can play maybe one day or two per week otherwise CRD - so my system is fine it is just microsoft.
standard version of msfs2024 is the best one to choose
Engine ignition know should be set to A B
