The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a large military transport aircraft. It was developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) from the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 commonly performs strategic airlift missions, transporting troops and cargo throughout the world; additional roles include tactical airlift, medical evacuation and airdrop duties. The C-17 is operated by the U.S. Air Force, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, NATO Heavy Airlift Wing, and India. (Wikipedia)

While trying to perform a flight with max fuel and max payload the range of flight is way off. Meaning it is far lower range than what is expected. According to specs that I found on this aircraft, it should be able to take off with a payload of 160k lbs from a 7,600 ft airstrip and fly for 2400 nm. I have the plane configured similarly in the sim (KMRB to KSPS, nm = 1046 nm) and the most it can do along that path is from KMRB to about KGAS (198 nm).
I seem to think that this bird is very thirsty in her present fuel configuration and she may need to have her configuration adjusted for this. Thanks.

One thing that stands out to me, and I do note it has been mentioned in at least one other comment, is the lack of range. I've removed the payload and played around with fuel levels and the range seems to be too small. Adding a paylaod and the range is severly diminished.
The included RAAF livery also needs an update with the roundels facing various angles.
Thanks again and I know this takes a lot of work, especially when it is free. I look forward to this project growing and improving.
