The '''McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30''' is a long-range trijet commercial airliner. FlightGear's DC-10-30 is a realistic and relatively complete aircraft. Highlights include fully functional lights for Rembrandt rendering, complete flight controls with proper spoiler and autobrake simulation, and a very accurately-modelled autopilot. At first glance, the DC-10 may seem like any other airliner you may have flown in FlightGear. Actually, it is an obscure, challenging aircraft with a steep learning curve, especially for inexperienced pilots. Nonetheless, learning to fly this unique airliner is a truly rewarding experience.
