+ST0RM 145 Posted June 6, 2008 Let me know what kind of info you need on it (weights, fuel per tank, etc...) I'm looking forward to this. Storm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+DoctorQuest 125 Posted June 6, 2008 Sweet! Me, too. Need to learn how to do skins. This bird needs to belong to the Nebraska ANG. (155th Air Refueling Wing). Go "Hustlin' Huskers"!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stick 773 Posted June 7, 2008 Im guessing the A310 FM wont work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ST0RM 145 Posted June 7, 2008 Each of the CFM-56 engines has 22,000lbs of thrust. We've got no thrust reversers. Basic weight for an R-model is about 120,000lbs giver or take 3K. A jet with the MPRS pods will add about 5K and an R/T (receiver/tanker) is about 123K. The only thing I'm thinking is that the fuselage looks a bit too fat. Just my eye. I love her though!

+Jug 99 Posted June 8, 2008 might be two things... first I am using a 24" wide screen monitor second the 3-view i am using is wrong If politics don't get in the way (the sun will never rise on that day), the Grumman-Northrup KC-45 (A310), which won the flyoff competition with the Boeing alternative, will become the replacement for the USAF KC-35 fleet. Let's don't give up on improving the A310 mod as well, because it may be the only thing really flying amongst the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted June 8, 2008 If politics don't get in the way (the sun will never rise on that day), the Grumman-Northrup KC-45 (A310), which won the flyoff competition with the Boeing alternative, will become the replacement for the USAF KC-35 fleet. Let's don't give up on improving the A310 mod as well, because it may be the only thing really flying amongst the two. Well, yes and no. The KC-45 did win the competition, but it's not based on the A310, but the A330, which is a significantly different aircraft. Also, for your mod, it shouldn't be too hard to adjust the power on the engines. ST0RM would know better than I would on how often KC-135Rs takeoff at max gross...which may explain why you feel the KC-135R feels 'underpowered'.

+Jimbib 746 Posted June 8, 2008 might be two things... first I am using a 24" wide screen monitor second the 3-view i am using is wrong About the monitor, make sure you are using the correct aspect ratio in the graphics settings menu? I had some initial problems with my 22" screen when I first got it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talos 0 Posted June 8, 2008 might be two things... first I am using a 24" wide screen monitor second the 3-view i am using is wrong Looking at the model, it looks like it might be using the 707's fuselage diameter. The C-135 series used the narrower Boeing model 367-80's fuselage. Other then that, looking great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
