The Airbus A400M Atlas is a transport aircraft found in some countries, with more waiting to get some. This is the tanker variant that was shown in 2014.

I have to remove the old one because after the XML upload, the thumbnails, including the one showing the cockpit, had become obsolete, showing images that are incorrect to the new one, therefore technically breaking rules about misleading thumbnails. These images, while not quite up to date, do not show the plane incorrectly, since it does not show the old cockpit interior, the only change being adding the Heading indicators, which are obscured in all images. Also, I would like to thank FT lab for giving me the code necessary to put the autopitch in motion (though I modified it a lot).

Yes, this is a successor of the same (now removed) one that participated in the VR challenge to get it into the game.

Fun fact, I copied some screen labels off from the stock planes’ screen labels.
@Amirreza1Ipchi0e5Haq, it was based off the AI tanker; I envision it to be a playable version of such. I copied the colors, because I feel like it.

Sorry for late respons.
Nice tanker
(By the way, why does it have the AI tanker color scheme? (At first i thought it was a modified version of my tanker))

@Bellcat oh, sorry...
@Spitfirelad05, no, it wasn’t named after Belka. It is a portmanteau of the words “Bell” and “Hellcat” that I made up; soon it evolved to me using the long name, “Bellkitsu” while “Bellcat” became my shortened name. I like it because it’s spelling was suitable and the sound was mildly comforting, while being easy and recognizable at the same time.
@Bellcat I love this creation! By any chance, is your name a reference to Belka from Ace Combat?
@Bellcat bruh true but at the same time its up to their talents. Doe
@DatRoadTrainGuy19, the Airbus A400m, on which this build is a replica of, does exist in real life, so “realism critiques” would almost be rendered moot, except if you are comparing said replica build to the aircraft it is based. It appears to me that you just copied my (non-sarcastic) critique of another build post of someone else’s and pasted it on your comment, which is not certainly a good thing to do when you want to give out your opinions about an user’s aircraft.
@Bellcat i dunno if it exist :D
Wait a minute I just realized all the stuff I typed was sarcasm. Is r/wooosh still a thing? @DatRoadTrainGuy19
Imma be honest I have no memory of typing all dat sorry if I said rude stuff @DatRoadTrainGuy19
@ThatOneRoadTrainBuilder19, and it’s based on a real aircraft too.
@iamTexas Based And Fat L for realism becuz its simpleplanes buddy
Nice, buddy! Maybe there is more………….
The plane has horrible color choices, even in the cockpit, and the large amount of cleavers and propeller blades makes it seem unrealistic. The distance between the wings and the tail is too short either. Also, the front landing gears located in the engine pods should be reduced to 1 for each pod.

@EchoVehicle, how did you feel like in windows flight simulator? I haven’t owned windows flight simulator and it feels like in simpleplanes. Was it because I made it too vr friendly or is it because of the screens that made you feel like in windows flight simulator?
