KC-10 Extender

[Jetguy06]

Please, CH, this aircraft has been sorely needed in DCS from the start, and it's highly unlikely ED will ever add it themselves. I've looked through your website and don't see it in the list, so I'm asking, please consider developing it. Thank you.

Why? It was once part of the Lock On.

From what I've seen, since the Lock On days, ED hasn't teased, hinted at, or expressed in any way any interest in adding the KC-10 back to DCS. With the glacier-speed of DCS development (I'm not knocking the development speed. ED isn't a AAA studio. Just stating a fact), if they start on the KC-10 tomorrow, we won't see it for another few years at least. Look at the revamp of the B-52, B-1, and S-3.

 

I can see the logic from ED'S standpoint, though. They already have an American big wing tanker in the KC-135, so the KC-10 would be so low on their priority list, I likely won't see it in my lifetime. And I'm 35.

From my standpoint, CH could do it quicker and just as well.

...and great visuals for a nitendo 64 esque throwback low poly sim for today.

We... The SIM needs variety in models, especially updated visual wise. The current 135 is showing its age very quickly.

I'd love to see something from CH to this regard.

I'm a bit tired as well on sorting MPRS and non MPRS to figure it out where I can refuel my plane whereas in real life 135 MPRS would be enough but in DCS there is some sort of limitation at servicing boom and basket on 1 model.

old LockOn code?

This has been asked by DCS users for a long time, as well as the a330 mrtt, the vc10, and a few others. It would be great to see more tankers in game for sure. At the moment the only option we have for boom refuelling is the kc-135...

As CH now has collaboration with ED, I would love to see other teams have it too, like the MAM and CAM guys. Wish granted.
