A tanker version of my WIP regional airliner, with a refueling boom, more robust landing gear, more powerful engines, among other things. Be sure to check out the many innovations in this plane thanks to the addition of Funky Trees in 1.9. Its use can be found in the gear tilt and trailing link gear mechanisms, engines, and elevator trim to ensure as much realism and innovation that SP allows (and I can handle with my limited time and knowledge).
Controls:
VTOL down: flaps
- 1/20: 1°
- 1/10: 2°
- 1/4: 5°
- 1/2: 12°
- 3/4: 25°
- Full: 40°
Trim: Trim
AG1: Arm Spoilers
AG2: Spoilers (flight detent)
AG3: Left engine fail
AG4: Right engine fail
AG5: RAT manual deployment
AG6: Telescopic refueling boom (no use of VTOL or trim needed)
AG7: Landing Lights
AG8: All lights minus landing lights, and engines on
AG8 off + Throttle: Pushback
When AG1 is on, the spoilers will deploy when the plane is on the ground and no thrust is applied.
The RAT automatically deploys with any engine failure.
Enjoy!

@DPSAircraft huh
I read this before @DPSAircraft
But I don’t have enough time and commitment
I’m a full time student here, even during currently unprecedented times XD
PS were still stuck at home here in the US
@BnanaX Serious disappointment
Sure, the landing gear has problems sometimes.
Please, offer me some constructive critiques if you want to criticize. Just saying it’s bad does nothing but make me sad.
@DPSAircraft @BnanaX
@FeiWu :)
@FireFast212 Sorry about that. I did think it was bullying, but I give my apology as the rules were unclear. Please do include a clear definition of this though to prevent any confusion in the future. Thank you so much! :)
@FeiWu ok fine its a valid entry. also sorry if you felt like i was bullying you. :)
@FireFast212 You shouldn't just bully people around with an unclear definition.
@FireFast212 Please tell me then, what is "new"? You just said "no reposts". This is certainly not a repost, as my previous (work in progress!) build is obviously different. I still spent a lot of time on it. Even if everything is the same (which it isn't), I still went through some degree of effort repainting the whole thing. Not that I'm going to do anything about it, but do make it clear about what is new and what isn't please. After all, there is still only a certain number of parts in SP, so nothing can completely be unique. Plus, my airliner is still a work in progress.
you have to make a new aircraft for the challenge, you can't convert an aircraft into a tanker.
