Good day I own the C-17A GLOBEMASTER III for X-Plane 11
Unfortunately, does not work with X-Plane 12. The plane does not appear in the selection. Is there anything I can do or is there a newer version for X-Plane 12. I couldn't find anything suitable on your homepage.
Many thanks in advance for support

I must agree with Mr. Wood. In Xplane11 the compass is inop. The Hold HDG just turns the plane in circles and the auto VS keeps turning off. This is a great plane to fly and definitely worthy of a full functional update to Xplane11.
