KC-135 Refuel Tanker

[diveplane]

Was making a call to the community and wondering if we could create a brilliant package but different, the

KC-135 Tanker , think its possible?

 

 

2 alternatives we could model.

 

1= AI flight controlled model but with a human boom operator at the rear , possibly create the boom operators station in full 3d instruments etc.

 

2= a coop flight version rear has boom operator position , front cockpit player flying the jet.

could always create a basic hud cockpit layout for now , the real cockpit has big details.

 

anyway just a callout to anyone think they could tackle it.

I have flown the KC135 in game. I didn't think to try in multiplayer if I could have someone refuel from it. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Something to play with.

As a side note it would still be AI flying the boom.

I work KC-135's every day as an engine troop, but I'm pretty familiar with all the other systems and general operation if that's any use to whoever is going to develop this...
