Version: 2.0
History:
I am user for a lot of time of MSFS and I have always liked to make additional freeware for them. From a 727 for FS4 until today this delivery the Lockheed C-141B.
The Lockheed C-141 has been a model that I have always liked and I enjoyed the one in its version for FS98, together with a very good scenery of the Travis AFB. In my
previous version The C-141B was made with FSDS V1.6. This program don´t use all features of the new FS2002
I use to make it the new tools from Discreet the GMAX. Also in a future we will throw the previous version the C-141A and other paint scheme of the C-141B.
Options
Full animations of ailerons, elevator, rudder, flaps, spoilers, landing gear and doors, retractile wing landing lights, stabilizer trim, Crew and rear side doors
and the ramp and load doors. Landing and taxi lights
Crew and side Doors: they will open up when press SHIFT+E
Load Doors and ramp: they will open up when press SHIFT+E+2
All lights are on (Landing and taxi lights): L key
Taxi Lights only: when all lights ON press CTRL+L
Wing Landing lights: You need to asign a key for this option. This lights works as the NOSE CONCORDE. You go to me FS menu/ options/ controls /assignament/ buttons
keys folder and assign a key for "Decrease concorde nose/visor angle" and other key for "increase concorde nose/visor angle". I use "<" and "SHIFT" + " >" DON´T USE
THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS: "Retract Flaps/Concorde Nose & Visor in Increments" and "Retract Flaps/Concorde Nose & Visor Fully", THESE OPTIONS ROTS TO BRING
NOT WANTED EFFECTS WHEN THE FLAPS IS OPERATED. The process for deploy a retract the light will take few seconds, be not impatient. In the night, if you don´t
extend the lights, they will light the ground.
Panel Zoom: SHIFT+6
Engine Smoke (black): "I" Key
Know bugs:
Due to a BUG of the FS2k2 it was not possible to use the tanks of combustible TIP L/R. The MSFS doesn't consume them, so they are unusable.
In the airplane all the possible tanks were used. The real airplane has 10 tanks, all in the wings and due to the previous problem they could be used alone 8. Also because
the FS consumes the central tanks in the order 1, 2 and 3 the location of the tanks power station 1 and 2 could not be the correct one in the pattern. this produced a
unbalance between the left wing and right when these tanks they were consumed.
The performance went it adjusts to the maximum according to some comparative data and for similarity with other jets of this type and size.
The airplane will assume for the take off the maximum weight that this formed for: I empty weigh is = 144492 lbs, Payload = 48300 Lbs and fuel = 150200 lbs. MTOW 343000. You will
be able to go up the load to a maximum of 74200 Lbs will reduce the fuel to 124300 lbs or less for not exceeding the 343000 Lbs of Max T.O. weight
The EPR indicator is not very accuracy due the variables info from FS to de gauge. I will work to resolve this problem. You need ouse for T.O 100/101 % of N1, Climb 93%
up to 10000 ft, 95% up to 20000 and 97% up to 30000. CAUTION FOR TAKE OFF AT ISA CONDITIONS DON´T USE THE F4 KEY FOR FULL POWER. THIS WILL THIS
CAUSED OVERBOOST IN THE ENGINE

Let's FLY!
FLYING THE C-141B
The Takeoff Weight of this C-141 is 343000 pounds (Zero Fuel Weight of 193,000 pounds + fuel load of 150000 pounds). This weight will allow you to get into and out of
airfields with large length runways. If you should want to use the medium lenght runways or use hight altitute airport, you need to lower the take off weight via edit the
aircraft.cfg with MS FS Edit for fs 2002 (included with the FS) and download the payload or via download the fuel in the menu. If you should want to fly a long leg (such as
across the pond), and you don't have enough fuel on board, then you will needed to remove load and to leave the maximum fuel. You will add a total of 198000 lbs among
fuel and it loads. If you needs maximum fuel (153000 lbs), their load it will be of not but of 45000 lbs.
The trim will be set to 2.5 degrees to rotate the nose at approximately 140 knots and begin climb at approximately 155 knots.
