(AP.1.2b) - NEW FSDS2 Version
c124m50p.zip
Douglas C-124 C Globemaster II, USAF, MATS 1950's livery (Military Air Transport Service), registration 21013
For FS2002
With FSDS2 (FS Design Studio Version 2.10) complete reworked and improved model. Features full animated moving-parts with rolling wheels, suspension, steerable nose gear, new animated cargo-doors, new animated ramp, new light animation, reflective textures (and the copilot has a rotatable head...).
To open the cargo doors and activate the ramp please use the "main door" key ("shift + e"). Please don't close the throttles completely, otherwise the engines can die.
If you want to turn the head of the copilot, move the rudder.
Design:
Base design (with FS Design Studio 1.5/1.6)
by Arik Hohmeyer
Complete rework and design additions with
FSDS2 (FS Design Studio 2.10)
by Chris Grabow
Textures:
Arik Hohmeyer, reworked by Chris Grabow
Airfile (flight dynamic):
based on Dave McQueen,
modified by Wolfram Beckert
Paneldesign (PP.1d):
Chris Grabow & Arik Hohmeyer (with Custom Panel Designer 2.0)
with parts/ gauges from the DC-4-6 panel by Brian Horsey (based on original panel Petros Protopapas & Stephen Grille and later modified by Tom Gibson).
This panel was designed according to a photo by DICK MADISON.
THIS AIRCRAFT IS FREEWARE.
DO NOT SELL, CD-BUNDLE OR REDISTRIBUTE THIS FILE SEEKING MONETARY PROFITS.
YOU MAY REPAINT OR MODIFY THIS MODEL AND UPLOAD IT TO ANY FREE INTERNET SITE AS LONG AS
ARIK HOHMEYER AND FS-DESIGN BERLIN ARE CREDITED FOR THE ORIGINAL AIRCRAFT MODEL.
IF YOU WANT TO USE ANY PARTS OF THIS MODEL/FOLDER FOR ANOTHER PROJECT/MODEL - for
example paintings/ textures - IT SHOULD BE NATURAL THAT YOU GIVE US CREDIT, TOO (also if you continue to work on these parts).
Note:
Naturally, nobody can guarantee that these data will function properly and that no problems will occur along with installation and usage. We ourselves have no problems at all running this aircraft on our system.
We hope you like this aircraft. If you don't, then simply delete it. It was free!
1. Unpack/extract the contents of the main zip-file into FS2002's Aircraft folder.
2. Unzip the contents of Gauges.zip to the \Gauges directory of FS2002.
Sound:
The sounds available for the Douglas DC-6 fit very well as sound-data because they are run by similar engines from Pratt & Whitney. Such files can be downloaded free
from Tom Gibson's Classic Airliner website "http://members.aol.com/TGFltsim/" or from "www.SurClaro".

On the plane
The Douglas C-124 Globemaster II was a major redesign of the C-74 Globemaster (that was developed at the end of World War II) with a new, much larger, two-deck fuselage. The C-124 used the same wings, tail, and engines as the C-74 and could carry more than 200 troops. It had clamshell-type loading doors, built-in double hydraulic ramps and an elevator under the aft fuselage. It could load tanks, field guns, bulldozers and trucks.
The first flight by a C-124 took place on 27 November 1949. The first operational aircraft
were delivered in May 1950, and production ran through May 1955 (204 C-124As and
243 C-124Cs). The improved C-124C featured more-powerful engines, as well as
wingtip-mounted combustion heaters that provided cabin heating and wing and tail
surface deicing, and an APS-42 weather radar in a distinctive nose "thimble." These
latter improvements were eventually retrofitted to the C-124As.
Because of the constant in-flight shaking, rattling, and squeaking, the C-124 was affectionately called "Old Shaky" by flight crews.
These planes went on to provide a much-needed airlift capability in the Korean War, as
it was the only aircraft that could carry many of the Army's vehicles. It also performed
many other missions such as airlift support in the Far East and Southeast Asia,
resupply missions to Antarctica, refugee evacuation, disaster relief, and mercy flights.
Although very reliable, the C-124s were slow (97 hours from Travis AFB, Calif., to Tan
Son Nhut AB, South Vietnam, and back).
Used in conjunction with Douglas C-133s, the Globemaster IIs remained in service until
replaced by the controversial Lockheed C-5A Galaxy in 1970.
By 1970, most C-124s were transferred to the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard. Although in production for only five years, the C-124s had a long and useful service life. The last C-124 was phased out in 1974.
The C- 124 remained in use in Berlin-Tempelhof until the seventies.
First flight: Nov. 29, 1949
Wingspan: 174 feet 1 inch
Length: 130 feet 5 inches
Height: 48 feet 4 inches
Weight: 185,000 pounds
Speed: 304 mph
Ceiling: 18,400 feet
Range: 1,200 miles
Power plant: Four 3,800-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-4360 engines
Accommodation: 5 crew and 200 troops, or 123 litters, or 45 patients with
15 attendants, or 74,000 pounds cargo
