Some tanker project talks.

The tanker that we talked about for the Typhoon will be a fully flyable aircraft with multiple positions to allow someone to fly it while another is operating as the boom operator. As for the AI for it we will endeavor to have it working the same as the tankers that are in there now but that will take some work. This is in the long term plans either way.

 

I think has very early to talk over the "tanker" but I think that can be a actual RAF air-plane (VC-10 or TriStar). My main candidate as the VC-10. Not sure, but in some post, VEAO talking over that airplane on a visit to the VC-10 Tanker unit and the trouble of future retirement, saying not bad see them into DCS: W.

 

The VC-10 / TriStar can get a second line if applicable, a "civil" version airliner can open the civilian scope into DCS: W. :)

For me it can only be the VC10. They should never have been retired.

 

Edit: Actually after a little more thought. Handley Page Victor would also be rather nice! And would possibly open up the possibility of a future bomber version....

A boom operator would imply an aircraft with a boom.

 

Which isn't needed for the Typhoon, because it uses the probe - like russian tanker have (without a boom).

I would like to see the Victor K2 as a flyable. My first airshow WTF moment was when I first laid eyes on that beast at the RIAT 85 show. It was parked kind of in the back at the far end of the static area. It was really a sight to see just sitting on the ground... Very unusual design.

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Yes sorry that was my bad talking about boom operator position with Pete.

Of course for the Typhoon this isn't needed so think more modern aircraft without the boom operator.

 

Would love to do the VC10 but we have great access to another aircraft ;)

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

this will bring a great addition to dcs world boom operator.

 

note some of the refuel aircraft are also outfitted with drogue chute refuel system as well, to accommodate all nato aircraft.
