Lockheed C-5A Galaxy

by Kazunori Ito

*******************************************************************************

This is my C-5A.

It was made to have a hard time very much.
The result is....................
Please look at the size of the model file.
It is over 2MB.
The size of the source file exceeds 13MB.
In making such a big work, I was first time.
It makes there, Here is made, And........... it unites.
Completed !!??
It was continuous of doubtful work of not understanding whether to move neatly until flying in FS. (Because it doesn't move straight in FSDS.)
As a result, I think that it became a satisfying work.
However, though I think that shape in the nose should be near the triangle a little more
It is not possible to change now...........Well.................

Please, My apologies!!

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a heavy logistics military transport aircraft designed to provide world-wide massive strategic airlift. The CONUS based fleet can provide delivery of palletized, oversized and outsized cargo, as well as passengers or combat-ready troops, anywhere in the world on short notice. The aircraft can takeoff and land in relatively short distances and taxi on substandard surfaces during emergency operations. The C-5 also plays a limited role in the airdrop and special operations arenas.
In 1963, realizing that they needed a jet-powered replacement for the exhausted, turboprop-powered C-133 Cargomaster, the United States Air Force began to study very large logistic transports. After reviewing several airframe designs, they eventually choose one similar to that of the C-141A Starlifter featuring a high-set wing (swept 25 degrees), four underwing jet engines and a T-tail.
This enormous aircraft, first known as the CX-HLS (Cargo Experimental-Heavy Logistics System) transport, was required to carry a payload of 125,000 pounds (56,700kg) over a distance of 8,000 miles (12,875km), or twice that load over a shorter distance.
Construction of the prototype began in August 1966. The first C-5A Galaxy flight took place on June 30, 1968 and lasted 94 minutes. Commonly described as, "The Box That The C-141 Came In," the C-5A Galaxy was presented to the United States Air Force, for training purposes, in December 1969. The first operational aircraft were delivered to the 437th Military Airlift Wing (MAW), Charleston AFB, SC, in June 1970.
In the mid-1970s, wing cracks were found throughout the fleet. Consequently, all C-5A aircraft were restricted to a maximum of 50,000 pounds (22,680kg) of cargo each. To increase their lifting capability and service life, 77 C-5As underwent a re-winging program from 1981 to 1987. (In the redesigned wing, a new aluminum alloy was used that didn't exist ten years prior.) The final re-winged C-5A was delivered in July 1986

[ About the installation ]

The airframe must copy the \C-5A Galaxy folder as it is in the Aircraft folder of FS2002 or FS2004.

Please copy all files in the \gauges folder onto the gauge in the Gauges folder of FS2002 or FS2004.
A general gauge is saved for the gauge bundled this time.
CONCORDE, 737-400, EXTRA-300, kingair, Beach_Baron and GPS gauges are not bundled.
Please introduce it by yourself.

[ About the operations ]

Shift+"E" = Exit Door & Tail Cargo bay Door Open/Shut
"/" = Spoiler Open/Shut

................................
!! A special key operation !!
................................

Shift and "E" are pushed at the same time. afterwards, please push "2".
"2" Key is "2" of the main keyboard.
It doesn't move by "2" of ten keys.

[ About free software ]

All aircraft that I made are free software.
The reprint and the repaint may go freely.
However, please defend the following conditions.

1.The change in contents of this file is prohibited.
(Please distribute it like the Zip file of the current state when distributing it. )
2.Please neither reverse-assembly nor never remodel(convert) it of the aircraft model.
3.Please don't bundle my airframe(MDL file) in the package of your works when you open the repaint to the public.
(Please open only the texture to the public. )
4.Don't use DXT format for making texture.
Please make it by the format that everyone can change.
It is necessary to be able to read and change with usual drawing software.
5.It is prohibited to bundle and to open a new panel to the public to my aircraft model.
(Please open only the panel to the public.
It is included in this file, and remodeling the panel that uses the panel background and the change in the panel background are prohibited. )
6.I maintain the copyright of the aircraft model and the panel background.
7.The copyright of the gauge belongs to the author.

[ About the directions point in FS2004 ]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9).
However........!!
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.
