Something like this would work. In this photoshop image, I took an ACTUAL photo of a KC-10 tanker and cropped out everything in the window then overlaid it on top of the FS9 shot. Would be very easy to make this into some some sort of 2D cockpit option with a few buttons on it for lights etc.

If Manfred models the station as part of the VC, you can even have clickable switches and some cheesy pin-up and Buddy Holly-posters in there.

Don't want to sound daft, but how could FSX handle two aircraft in an inflight fueling scenario when you can only fly one plane at a time.
(unless a static view that shows a plane that is gassing up at the boom). BTW that a nice photo.

Well, I am thinking online flying would be the best way. and thanks on the image. Part of my online FS9/Trainsim Photo gallery. http://www.projectbluebelle.com/
I havent updated it with FSX content yet. Been busy with work and too lazy at home.

Using a floating camera took a shot from the KC-97 boom operators position and refueling a B-47.

Very informative vid. This guy must of lowered the boom quite a few times in his day. I didn't know that the Flight engineer controlled the actual fuel transfer. The boomer just made sure
that the boom was positioned or guided to the plane that needed fuel. I wonder if the boomer job went to senior enlisted or Officers.
Hey, we've got taxilights and crew door. BUT the question is, what is on that decal next to the door?? Educated guesses anyone?
TuFun logo!
This is going to be amazing! Well done TF!
I had to chuckle on that one! I think it has to do with the controls on the door when it's up as you can see the labels above the handle. Probably upside down as the door is opened.
Great soundscapes, Tufun! As for the door, the lettering I have there at this point is "one person only on steps" but that's for lack of any exact info. It may be as you say, some inverted lettering saying "to open turn handle and push" or something like that.
Re the logo, nice try, dvj! You're not very far off, it's to do with a person related to flight simming. Oh, and a bit of pop music is in there as well... nudge nudge wink wink?
