Any high-quality KC-135 in the works?

I've tried nearly every one available and am not really sold on any of them. The PAD version is the best of the freeware, but it has some serious flaws. I've tried contacting PAD to assist with fixes, but never got replies.

So, is there any payware companies working on one? I'd love to assist with the details to ensure as close to the real thing as possible.

Have you looked at the Historic Jetliners Group KC-135?

Oh yes. Back in FS9 days it was my favorite. Just no VC.

I'm really looking for a high-quality model or I'm offering my help to create one. Proper fuel loads, engine start sequence, animations, etc...

UKMIL (http://ukmil.org.uk/) has a nice Boeing E-3D Sentry AEW.1 (native FSX with no VC, yet). I've attached the CaptainSim 707 VC... An unorthodox mix of payware/freeware...

There is a KC10 option for the Tom Ruth / Eric Cantu McDonnell Douglas DC-10 (simviation) with Tom's 727 VC (all freeware)...

And the CaptainSim KC-767 looks very nice (payware).

Yes, I know, what you're looking for is more like this (FS9 H.J.G. KC-135)
