DC-10 derivate from IDG MD-10

Postby flycanarias » Tue Oct 17, 2017 8:27 pm

Hello folks out there,

I have a question for the development of a DC-10. Can the MD-10 by the great IDG be used to model a DC-10?
As far as I see it, this would require a new cockpit similar to older versions of the MD-80s cockpit, and perhaps different systems.
Can this maybe be achieved in long term?
I know that the IDG is busy with many other high quality projects, but maybe you guys can add this to your development list?
Kindest regards,

Hi
Do you mean the upcoming and still private IDG-MD-10X? Or the old yasim MD-10.

Kind Regards,

I only used the old one, but if you have a new IDG one, and want to convert it to a DC-10, please do so !

Yes, coming with the new IDG-MD-11X.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND:
In terms of the actual question.... perhaps... but not until the MD-11X/MD-10X is done. (that we can reuse the new 3D, FDM, etc)

Kind Regards,
Josh

Thank you, this is very good news.
Have you changed the livery system of the MD-11 and MD-10, comparable to the 737-800 / 757 / 777 one, so the development of liveries would be easier than with the old one ? Then I could make more liveries for both aircraft, once it is released...
Kind regards,

What do you mean?

I am not a 3D modeller, so the painkits are the same.... the new MD-10 (DC-10) model, however, is MUCH MUCH improved.

Kind Regards,
