Tanker Upload

The README is complete.  However, after nearly uploading last night, I read the prior READMEs of the main tanker (KC-135T, v1.85/v1.9)  I used for Drogue model/textures and it said I need to ask for permission.  The other part (Mike Stone's Tanker upgraded FSX panel/gauges) is already covered and permission is granted specifically in the README because the designer is different (Bob Chicilo) and it was meant for a different Tanker.

So this AM, I sent out an email to the main designer of the KC-135T and asked permission for wide release of the hybrid tanker model/textures that are used.

Will get back to you as soon as he answers.

BTW, Im back as a FULL TIME Sludge Hornet driver.  I've had it with the VRS 'BUG!!  Cant control the throttle fully, only get 15 FPS, even unlocked in scenery, and their "discussion" boards are crap.  Ive shot down enough virtual airliners to be content, and would rather enjoy high FPS and doing carrier landings with everyone else here, so Im back FULL TIME and wanna reboot some life back into the Sludge.

So all my energy will now be on the Sludge Hornet and any/all mods people have for it.   ;D

Sludge, good to hear you are flying the Sludge Hornet ;D

Let's hope you get permission soon for the KC-135, lots of people are eager to create flight plans and I get emails how to install the KC-135 :)

The default Hornet is a good aircraft both as a model and a VC.  There is plenty of development possible and it is a learning creation.  Such a military hot jet---and a carrier jet---is unique in default FS aircraft.  I've used it since Acceleration came out.  The very day of release in fact.  It was tough to understand at first, at least, for me.  But it's ok now.

Carrier ops just wouldn't be the same without the default F/A-18C in my opinion. It's tough on general aviation and tubeliners fans which is understable.  The VC is unique and simulates military procedures.

Look at the videos you folks post.  It's a great aircraft unlike so many others.  Keep making the videos.

And hope to hear of tanker success.

Yeah, in my email to the guy, I told him alot of people were in the same boat I was when I first went looking for a tanker.  On the big forums, there are plenty of KC-135 Tankers.  Just that none are completely FSX-adapted (Orion's word), have a Navy Drogue, AND easy to install as one .zip package.  Its a buncha mixed-matched KC-135s that either are FSX capable, but dont have the Drogue OR have the drogue and dont have FSX Panels/Gauges.

I guess we will see if he understands everyone's plights and responds in the affirmative.
