New code for tankers

[carss]

Is there any plane to add some sort of code or update for the KC-135 where it can begin to use both boom system and the probe system?

 

This will allow for planes like the Mirage 2000 and the F/A-18 to refuel from the KC-135, and it could also pave way for more tankers to be made like the KC-707

Client Type = X in the Refuel Points usually control this.

 

But:

is_tanker				=	4, 
-- 1= BOOM_AND_RECEPTACLE  ( KC-10, KC-135 )
-- 2= PROBE_AND_DROGUE_1   ( S-3R )
-- 4= PROBE_AND_DROGUE_3   ( IL-78 )
refueling_points_count	=	3,
refueling_points = 
{
	[1] = 	{ pos = {-44.109,	-3.309,	-2.676}, clientType = 2 },
	[2] = 	{ pos = {-29.44,	-3.194,	-16.15}, clientType = 1 },
	[3] = 	{ pos = {-29.44,	-3.194,	16.15}, clientType = 1 }
}, -- end of refueling_points
refueling_points_compartibility = {
	true, false, false,
	false, true, true,
	false, true, true
},

Sorry for asking but how does this work?

To be honest, I'm not that excited about that drogue conversion of the KC-135 myself, so the interesting bit here is how that piece of code features the KC-10.

[Grimes]

The KC-10 was in the game until the release of the A-10C, but the model dated back to the LOMAC era or earlier. Since they had a new KC-135 model with the A-10 release they probably decided to use that instead of having both active. I believe there are a few models of objects in game that are just dormant. The super old Ka-52 and a Harrier model ED made are prime examples. Don't know where the KC-10 is on the list of models that need updating.

I was actually thinking of getting back to 3D modelling and learning to make the KC-707 myself. I thought if that could be added it would be a wonderful asset. It can be used by the RAAF for the Hornet or the IRIAF for the Tomcat and the Phantoms. Or even the IDF for the F-15s

Here is a video I put together from a refueling, but its simply making a KC-135 with a MPRS system. That way it can do both type of refuelings

KC-10 would sure be nice to have for the Persian Gulf map...they've only been flying out of Al Dhafra since the First Gulf War.

Pathetic spelling and grammar errors

The KC-707 has something similar, especially the Iranian KC-707s. This could also pave way for French KC-135s or even an Airbus A330 MRTT
