        What about creating new buildings? As long as terrain engine won’t be upgraded and all theater reworked this is the only way make better the terrain environment. Tons of building deserves an updated 3D model and I guess it takes much less work to work on them.

          Sure-
          but every time I refuel while campaign I think that the KC135 should Looks better them it is. Ive tryed to reskin the stock model but the texturing is not good - specially around the boom Operator…

            Tom,

            you know we appreciate your work a lot, but if you start to model another AC,
            then could you please do me and the community a favor, and unwrap each
            side of the AC and each wing individually (not simply mirrored)?

            That way we could have real camo skins or left side only markings etc.
            which was sadly impossible with your older models.

            Sure it’s more work than create one half of the AC and unwrap it,
            then mirror the 1rst half and done.
            Also you’ll need to place more parts on the same texture,
            but I think the community, and especially the skinners will appreciate
            such work even more.

            Thank’s for watchin’, Tom. 😉

            Cheers,

              Yes, this was a very common issue with Tom’s models, or in some cases the texture part size on the palette was not proportional with the area on the model. (SA-10 launcher)

                Ough,
                Okay. Understood sir. So in this case I have to skin it without mirrors.
                Okay, Thank you.

                  1rst, there is no need to call me sir. (dunno about molni, :D)

                  2nd, there is no need to thank us, because we have to thank you.

                  3rd, great decision, Tom.

                      Yes,
                      Very nice Project. But its had some Problems with the boom and the last entry is very old.
                      Hope that I can bring some things on…

                          Great start… 😛
                          Thanks Tom.
                          And a question: Is there a possibility for a nice turkish camo in order to can be used into the Aegean theater? Will be follow the limitation rules of BMS the 3D model?

                                  Maybe meanwhile (USAF, JASDF, Italy)…

                                  Or (selected by ROKAF for future tanker)…

                                    Hi Tom,

                                    Nice work, but your model looks more like a Boeing 707 than the KC-135.

                                      Yep Tom. Do you think is the best for you … but knowing the future stock KC-135, if you do not want to “loose your time” … like Biker, I would rather recommend to work on the MRTT.

                                      Your option.

                                            Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that KC-135 was actually derived from the Boeing 367-80 jet. There is more direct link to -80, than to 707.

                                            Nonetheless, thanks Tom for giving so much to the community. I wish I had 1/2 of your talent. MRTT would be great as well. 😉
