This is an AI-only aircraft. You won't find it in the aircraft selection menu, and it is non-maneuverable. Also, you are now recommended to use FSFTL for generating AI traffic.
The MD-10 static model for Orbis is looking good, but it just simply couldn't fly at all. However, there is still a method to bring it to the sim, which is making use of this 3D model it as an AI-only aircraft. With this addon, not only you can see these aircraft in the sim, and also the exact model could be spoke out during ATC conversations (DC-10/MD-10/MD-11).
I have no way to know the UV layout of this model as it is encrypted, I can only paint it to be all white, but it looks good enough. From close observations, there is no animation associated with different parts of this model, the wheels don't rotate, the gears don't get retracted after takeoff, and the fan blades of the engines don't rotate. In my conclusion, it is not feasible to make it become an aircraft that you can really fly it to the sky, unless you accept something which could only hand-flown in external views.
How to spot them more easily? Go to Memphis Intl. (KMEM) during daytime, turn real live traffic on, park an aircraft at the north of Runway 9-27, then you can see many of them taxiing or flying around at the same time.

Does it work in conjunction with AIG traffic? I do not see any additional AI trijets flying around unfortunately, checked across the world at various times and did not see any at all. I just put the 3 files in community folder

If there are conflicts between different addons, then it's just your choice to pick the one you like more.

Do we just drop this into the Community folder?

Yes, no more steps, but it somehow depends on luck to see this plane to appear in the sim

Great Addon for extra AI Traffic. Will there be more AI Models in the future such as a 737, A330's, Etc?

Do you planned for future a working DC-10/MD-11?

It is simply not feasible, as the 3D model of this Orbit MD-10 is encrypted by Asobo, it can just be used as-is, no room to tweak. In theory you can make a repaint of it into UPS or Fedex, but it should takes a lots of time for "reverse-engineering" the texture mapping by endless testings

it's an AI-aircraft, so it will not be flyable, and therefore you can't see it in the menu
