DC10-30 V3 Classic Collection Brief: ---------------------------------- FSX/P3D McDonnell Douglas DC10-30 V3 classic liveries collection. Based on Thomas Ruth and Eric Cantu's model, featuring a brand new extended Airfile and an improved 2D/3D Panel V3 with completely re-written gauges. This V3 package of the legendary DC10 wide-body airliner is a complete rework of the great "tomdc10" V2 package. Every element of the original package has been reworked, including aircraft textures, 2D panel and VC, sounds, effects and most of all, flight dynamics. This collection contains 12 beautiful liveries from some of the most iconic airlines from the 80's, including: Air Afrique, UTA, Garuda Indonesia, Swissair, Martinair Holland, Ghana Airways, Air New Zealand, Laker, JAT, American Airlines, Eastern Airlines and Aeromexico. All textures are extremely detailled with new alpha layers and improved specular lighting. All metallic textures have been enhanced to display realistic reflections and dynamic shine. All textures are DXT5. The new panel features the following extra gauges: FMC by Garret Smith, TCAS by Dietmar Loleit, and VSpeed, Altitude Callout, Icons32, Brake and Cockpit sounds by Philippe Marion. Most of these gauges are using the FSX XML Sound gauge by Doug Dawson. Superb environment sound file based on Benoit Plamondon (Aeromusica) CF6-50 V1 package, with updates by Philippe Marion. PaintKits included: White and Metal, complete with Alpha layers. Tested in FSX Acceleration (DX10) and FSX Steam Edition (DX9). Not tested in P3D but should work correctly up to V3. Sound effects may not work in V4. INSTALLATION: --------------- 1 - Extract the zip archive in the folder of your choice. In the folder you will find these 4 folders: "Airplanes", "Effects", "Gauges" and "Sound". 2 - Copy/paste the content of the "Airplanes" folder in your FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes folder. 3 - Copy/paste the content of the "Effects" folder in your FSX\Effects folder. 4 - Copy/paste the content of the "Gauges" folder in your FSX\Gauges folder. 5 - Copy/paste the content of the "Sound" folder in your FSX\Sound folder.

PAINTKIT: ---------- This package contains 2 of my paintkits for those of you wanting to add more classic liveries to this collection: a White Paintkit, and a Metal Paintkit. All the required files are in the "PaintKit" folder and include all the textures in BMP and DXT5 formats, and all the alpha layers in BMP format. You will also find a thumbnail.jpg and an texture.cfg in each subfolder for your convenience. Please note that the "sec_spec" file (wings specular) is not provided as it is not really necessary for repainting. The "sec_spec" file is in the common "texture" folder for all liveries should you need it. TESTING ENVIRONMENT: ------------------------ This aircraft was tested in Windows 10 x64.
