My first AI creation, McDonnell Douglas KC-10
The McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender is an American aerial refueling tanker aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). A military version of the three-engined DC-10 airliner, the KC-10 was developed from the Advanced Tanker Cargo Aircraft Program.[N 1] It incorporates military-specific equipment for its primary roles of transport and aerial refueling. It was developed to supplement the KC-135 Stratotanker following experiences in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The KC-10 was the second McDonnell Douglas transport aircraft to be selected by the Air Force following the C-9. A total of 60 KC-10s were produced for the USAF. The Royal Netherlands Air Force operates two similar tankers designated KDC-10 that were converted from DC-10s.The KC-10 plays a key role in the mobilization of US military assets, taking part in overseas operations far from home. These aircraft performed airlift and aerial refueling during the 1986 bombing of Libya (Operation Eldorado Canyon), the 1990–91 Gulf War with Iraq (Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm), the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia (Operation Allied Force), War in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom), and Iraq War (Operations Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn).
Feature
1:1 scale
AI control
The plane will maintain an altitude of 800 meters and maintain an airspeed of approximately 603-610 km/h.
Sadly
The probe and drogue are the only aerial refueling system available for this aircraft.
I will continue update the plane at the future.
Enjoy and stay safe

How do you launch the refueling part?
Nice plane
the ai keeps stalling and falls to the ground
Fantastic
Flight model=15
since i can't test some of these attributes this plane has more weight in the categories in which I could test
Realistic Acceleration: 4/5 seems abt right, but weight is incorrect look at the weight values in wikipedia
Sustained Turn rate: cant test
Roll Rate: cant test
Controllability: 3/5 the function for altitude is nice but the kc-10 refuels at higher alts
misc: 4/5 nice job on the drouge pods they are nice, would be nice if the boom came down as well.
Total: 10/15 points on the flight model which is equivalent to 20/30 points
@Souka
will score the rest of the build
@ChrisPy Got it.
this is unless its a c-130 refueler which flies much lower
normally tankers fly at 15k-18k feet and at 310 knots btw
