Meet Boeing C-17 Globemaster III
McDonnell Douglas developed the C-17 for the US Air Force, with its first flight in 1991. Four turbofans, a high wing and a rear cargo ramp support the heavy-transport role. Its landing gear and high-lift design also address operations from relatively constrained airfields.
The Globemaster III can move very large equipment while retaining a modern two-pilot flight deck. The Miltech manual describes the simulator's flight-control and autopilot features, including functions that were not implemented in the documented version.

Modern transport controls with an explicit feature boundary
Miltech's C-17 guide describes fly-by-wire stabilisation and trim, selectable autopilot modes and stall-test controls. It explicitly marks VNAV, TURB and several other controls as unsupported in that version. The aircraft's military-transport role and modern cockpit therefore have a concrete documented simulator scope.
