FoxOne007 Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 The Tristar was in service with the RAF until 2014 so would perfectly fit into the EF’s timeframe. And it’s always nice to have some more refueling assets that aren’t from the US. 13 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Toga10 Posted November 28, 2021 Posted November 28, 2021 +1 would be amazing. Razbam were making a VC10 but im pretty sure it got chopped 2
Spectre11 Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 I wonder why there is such a fixation on AI Tanker assets. Ofcourse it would be nice to have a tanker for every country's airforce, but it's a bit of a stretch and I don't think it needs one thread per tanker "wish". We are awaiting a complex flyable aircraft module which is still in the making and yet everyone is already asking for more... 5

Welcome to the DCS community where we ask for too much stuff and complain when It takes too long to finish. 9

You won’t see any US aircraft at RAF Akrotiri for example. And just in general it’s not just the US that’s there so it’s nice to have a larger pool of things, and let’s be honest, we only have 2 tankers that’s not a lot. 9 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Spectre11 Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Yes that's not a lot, but an exotic tanker asset that has been operated by whom exactly, apart from the RAF? We don't have a single RAF operated fast jet in DCS as a flyable aircraft and even the Eurofighter will be the German version. And yet you ask for a dedicated RAF operated AI asset. I think that such requests are better placed with the community or ED, rather than asking already highly loaded development teams for flyable aircraft modules to develope this or that AI assets as supplementary. 1

Harry.R Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Agreed, apart from the 'weather balloons' it's no MOB. 1
IronMike Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Wishing is great, guys. Never stop doing that please. We may not oblige at times, we may even roll eyes at some few moments, but without your wishes - what would we have to aspire and strive towards? Let us never stop dreaming, we are dreamers ourselves. If such threads come up, at the very least you get us talking about it. And who knows, sometimes these things materialize. The hive-mind always works better than the single mind. So by all means, ask for as much as you want. We will say "njet" if we feel so, anyway.

Sepp666 Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Hi there, as I am a big fan of the L1011 Tristar by myself I would like to see that plane as a Tanker in my favorite Sim also! Please keep in mind that RAF TriStars gave fuel not only to RAF Jets. She gave fuel to any NATO partners. Look at that picture 5
Zahnatom Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Sure, this thing as the British tanker and the A400M as the German tanker would be 2 great additions imo 2 #payrazbam #payrazbam #payrazbam
gonano4 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Perhaps even an a400m could be interesting to change a bit. 1
Sepp666 Posted December 6, 2023 Posted December 6, 2023 Hi there, any news about the TriStar tanker? With the development of the Tornado and the Eurofighter a L1011 would make more than sense to me. Pls someone make it happen. Maybe @IronMike has some news to share - 2 years later? When the A-6 comes as a tanker you have some experience in that area. You mentioned that some things got discussed by the team - maybe you did?
Thorluis2 Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 There is no L1011 Development at the moment, and most likely it will not be developed for quite a while, if ever.
