Give the KC-135 MPRS option to refuel with Basket and Boom!

[Greekbull]

For large multiplayer groups like ours it would be a huge help if the KC-135 MPRS can refuel with both the Boom and wingtip baskets! It would alleviate a serious juggling act and the number of tankers we need to have on our servers when the Viper hits thanks!

I don't believe DCS tankers are capable of both methods from the same aircraft at the current time.

I think the better solution would be to allow more than 3 names for the tankers and let us set up multiple refueling tracks with dissimilar refueling aircraft.

KC-10

I would love to see some new types no doubt but I would think the easiest solution would be to get the KC-135MPRS working both ways. That would certainly be ideal

Agreed

Yep, but ED could try to change/optimize the configuration.

I thought I saw a mod a long time ago (before Razbam released the MPRS), which had both systems working at the same time. Sadly I couldnt find it again.

 

Maybe we get something along the lines when the Air Refueling gets overhauled.

Quiet a few items on the New basket/probe physics, better AI handling, better Communication, new Callsigns, select fuel quantity, beeing assigned the right or left drogue via comms etc.

 

Additional Tankers would be great alongside the new S-3 and KA-6.

You can refuel a F-15 with a basket in MP at least ( watched with great amusement as someone managed that... ) so there's nothing special about the actual fuelling process - don't think it'd be a giant stretch to pick the fuelling method based on the aircraft who's expressed intent to refuel.

Agreed

 

 

I second that...at least until the KC-46 Pegasus comes to DCS!:pilotfly:

Excellent Idea!

It would also be nice if the tanker would adjust it's speed for slower aircraft like the A-10.
