Overview
This panel is an accurate rendition of the VC10 C1K in Royal Air Force service in 2004. Much of the original research & photography was done on A40-AB, the Standard VC10 at the Brooklands museum in Weybridge, with updates made from photograps taken onboard the C1Ks XV102 & XV107 at RAF Brize Norton. Every effort has been made to make it authentic in look and function, while still remaining easy to use in FS. Fortunately, the real aircraft panel is laid out in a helpful way & transfers very well into a 2D panel for FS. There is a small degree of variation between aircraft, so some details on this panel will not match other RAF C1Ks exactly. Note that the K2, K3 & K4 series of VC10 tankers all have some differences with the C1K equipment. The accuracy of the flight model has benefitted enormously through flying set tasks in the full motion C1K simulator at RAF Brize Norton and also flying onboard the real thing in XV102.
