This post, here, is based on that DC-10 SIM, with bits of twists added about "MD-10".įor background, as both the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 were retired from pax service, these (fine) aircraft found their way into the hands of various cargo carriers, who converted them to (profitable) freighters. □.and I don't see any yet.so, in this new year, during one of the multitude SALEs, I re-acquired the "on-line" (aka: download) version of the JF/CLS DC-10. But, somehow, I lost that "DVD" during my few years of break from SIM.and never re-acquired it, thinking a more "refined" version of it would come along into my virtual world.Oh well.a decade (plus) is a long enough time to wait for a SIM. The JF/CLS DC-10 SIM (in DVD.!) was one of my earliest "in-shop" purchases from the shelves of Fry's Electronics (the retailer closed its doors in February last year). Though it had started wrong-footed (aka the fatal cargo-door design flaw), eventually it recovered from the setback to prove for itself a safety record, comparable to other (original) "jumbo" jets of its era, being one in the famous trio (B747, L-1011, DC-10), and, in fact, outsold the L-1011. DC-10 was a fascinating trijet in its own right. First of all, the (better-known) DC-10, from which the "MD-10" is derived, is an a/c that has not received due attention in our SIMs.
