Greg Peppers and Tom Gibsons KC-97 Stratotanker

[Sascha66]

Hi,

recently I came across a photoreal spanish paintjob for the CalClassic KC-97 and decided to bring her out again wearing this new dress. Found out I don't have this grand lady anymore but also could not find her on the Calclassic site or anywhere else.

I got the prop textures by Bob, updated mdl files, new effects and VC - everythin' but the '#% original!
Does anyone know if and where it is still available?

Thank you for aiding a simmer in distress - I'm already tearing at my hair!

Sascha

Hi Sascha The KC-97E and KC-97G are available now on Avsim in both 2002 and 2004 versions.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I tried it in FSX Acceleration in DX9 mode of course.
There were no display issues, and only one gauge (HSI) was incompatible.
The virtual cockpit looks quite good I have to say. Too bad there's nothing clickable inside, I would have loved some 2D switches for the basic systems.
