The KC-10 Extender

 

I made this mod after noticing that the aircraft in ODS was

using a skin that was not use IRL until 3-4 years after Desert

Storm. This fixes up skins for the Douglas (White over Grey with

Blue cheatlines), Shamu (Green/Gray over Gray)and Gunship Gray

schemes. I also added historical serial numbers to each skin, and

did the unit markings tied into each serial number. (for you advanced

modders out there, tied it as a 2 level rather than a 1 level). This will

allow several units to appear when they show in game on the ramp.

 

Installation

just add Objects folder to your mod folder. If installing into an ODS

install, allow overwrites.

 

Additional Warning

*************************************************************************

this really should be left as an AI controlled plane. it is not really

for any missons that would be represented in game anyhow.

i just skinned it up to satisfy a little historical accuracy in the game.

Credits

 

Marcfighters..........the model and original skin(served as a base for template)

eburger68.............revised data.ini that made the FM more manageable

myself................all other skins, template and tgas

TK....................the game itself, and our ability to keep modding

 

special thanks to Muesli, for helping me out trying to get the Dutch in the game as well.

 

suggestion to those with mission editor:

why not set up teh tankers on an orbit at a waypoint of a mission?

then you could "simulate" tanking as part of the missions......
