Not something everybody will be able to do in real life, and
unfortunately, that's not what I'm offering. Luckily there are several VC10s
available for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Prepar3D. For an explanation on how to use these
aircraft in Flight Simulator 98 or 2000, read this
text file, FS2002/FS2004/FSX users: read the notice below. I try to keep as many VC10s as possible available here, but there is
one exception from this: I only link to VC10s in 'real life' colourschemes. If
you're interested in VC10s in fake schemes you will not find them here.
David Maltby and
Rick Piper are responsible for creating an almost complete collection of VC10s
for FS2002 and FS2004. For more classic
British airliners visit their websites: David Maltby's

Paintshop(Offline in 2017, not known if the site will return) Most of the FS2002/FS2004/FSX aircraft are linked to the respective files on these two
websites, with permission.
In 2017 Just Flight released a Standard VC10 package for Flight Simulator X, FSX: Steam Edition and Prepar3D v1 to v4. This package includes a model for the BOAC Standard VC10 (type 1101) with comprehensive but easy to use system simulations. There are 10 liveries included and all four crew positions on the flight deck are fully functional. The Standard package is available for €30.95 or the equivalent in £.
In April 2019 the professional package was released, this includes five models (1101, C1K, civil Super VC10, K3 and K4) and more challenging system simulations, including a Delco Carousel INS. This option is available for €53.95
How to
Download FS2002/FS2004 aircraft: There are now four main VC10

and several textures.

Another
creation by
David Maltby
and Dave Booker based on an opportunity to get some close up experience of
the RAF's VC10 C1K's, here is an accurate panel for this specific VC10
version. Best used with the newest version of the C1K available above, this
download includes cockpit views and a manual.
Thanks to some extensive programming and research
work by
David Maltby
and Dave Booker this excellent new panel can now be downloaded. Based on
G-ASIX/A40-AB at The Brooklands Museum and featuring additional subpanels.
Includes cockpit views and manual.
Besides creating a panel, this addition, created from many photos taken
inside G-ASIX/A40-AB, will add all-round cockpit views to your flying
experience. Created by David Maltby
and Dave Booker.
Included in panel download
And to top it all off, from the same source comes this manual which, when
added to FS2004 will open inside the kneepad and show you how to fly the
VC10. Can also be read online at David Maltby's
website through this
link.
Included in panel download
The company that now runs the website TenWeb, Abacus Systems, has released
a VC10 panel for FS2002 and FS2004. Now that the full Super VC10 package (see
above) is available the panel is included in this release and cannot
be bought seperately. See website for details: www.vc10.com.

themselves do not reflect the actual VC10 panel.

A nice uncluttered VC10 panel for FS 98. Not as accurate
as the panel below, but very readable period instruments and very
complete. Created by Matthias Lieberecht.
VC10 panel based on a picture of the cockpit of G-ASIX /
A40-AB at Brooklands, UK. Looks very good but the instruments are a bit difficult to read. Created by Dave Haskell.
Note: If you want to use Bernd Drehfahl's FS 2000
panel with other aircraft, make sure his BOAC Super VC10 is installed in
AIRCRAFT\VC10_BOA and copy this config file to the
panel folder of the plane you want to use it with.
