Jel Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Just noticed the missing boom cover on the menu screen standard wallpaper Wish there was actual damage modeled in DCS when you hammer the basket too much - then again i´m glad there isn´t.

bonesvf103 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) In case you didn't know, they often remove the refueling probe cover because of incidents where it would get knocked off and go down the right air intake, FODing the engine. I think in the photo above, that was an example of them voluntarily removing it. v6, boNes Edited May 30, 2023 by bonesvf103 1 1 "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Jel Posted May 30, 2023 Author Posted May 30, 2023 I heard of issues from when they started using the KC135s metal basket often damaging the probe when you plugged too hard. I never knew they actually removed those covers voluntarily Thanks for the info When in doubt - climb. Nobody ever collided with air.

Did you know you can also remove it by editing lua in a livery? 2 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
