Many features have been added to help with usability such as a switch to hide the control yokes for a better view of the instruments and pre-set angled views for the overhead panel, centre pedestal and Flight Engineer station.Fully modelled Flight Engineer station with fuel, engine, electrical, anti-ice and hydraulic controls (automatically configured in a 'ready for take-off' state when the aircraft is first loaded, allowing you to get airborne within seconds).Special ‘baked’ textures have been used to present a well-used look and feel to the cockpit area and controls.Cockpit lighting with atmospheric instrument backlighting.Cockpit textures feature wear and tear to produce an authentic environment.All four flight crew positions modelled (Captain, Co-Pilot, Flight Engineer and Navigator).Many gauges are modelled in 3D for smooth operation. 3D cockpit with virtually all the hundreds of switches, knobs and levers animated and functional.Bump mapping to give a more realistic 3D effect to aircraft liveries.Specular map to give realistic light effects on the aircraft surfaces.Ground equipment (air stairs and baggage carts).Thrust reverser doors on outboard engines Passenger doors (fore and aft) and cargo doors (port and starboard) Windshield wipers (separate Captain and Co-Pilot controls) Accurately modelled Type 1101 (BOAC Standard), built using real-world aircraft plans.The VC10 is brought to life with distinctive Rolls-Royce Conway engine sounds and realistic and accurate flight dynamics based on real-world performance and handling data as well as input from ex-VC10 crew. Realistic engine start procedures are possible with ground air supply and cross-bleed, and autostart (Ctrl+E) compatibility allows you to get airborne quickly. Comprehensive but easy-to-use systems are simulated, including a realistic fuel system with transfer and jettison functionality, an autopilot with pitch and bank hold, an autothrottle with IAS and MACH hold capabilities, and simulated powered flying control units (PFCUs). The detailed virtual cockpit features 3D instruments, authentic wear and tear, and all four flight crew positions (Captain, Co-Pilot, Flight Engineer and Navigator) modelled in high detail.

VC10 Jetliner for Flight Simulator X and Prepar3D includes an accurately modelled Type 1101 (known as the BOAC Standard variant) variant in 10 liveries, including a variety of BOAC and British Airways schemes. This resulted in an aircraft with superb performance, second only to the supersonic Concorde in terms of speed for a jet airliner. The aircraft was designed by Vickers-Armstrongs to fly on long-distance BOAC routes between the UK and Africa, which required an aircraft capable of operating from hot airports at high altitudes with short runways. The VC10 is widely regarded as one of the most graceful jet airliners ever created, with its long slim fuselage, clean angled-back wings and graceful swept-back tail surfaces.
