The person posting clearly states it's a simulation....

Yeah, and badly done.

They do

Yeah the one called "Microsoft Flight Simulator" is the Microsoft Flight sim (msfs) 2020 the community calls it msfs 2020 cause all the previous one where called Microsoft Flight sim 'xx' ie Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) or Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (fs2004 or FS9) and thus MSFS 2020 makes it easy to search for add-ons and liveries. TL;DR MSFS 2020 = the newest Microsoft Flight sim (as of 2024)

It sounds like you did it right, but you did not clear the model cache so MSFS was displaying a broken model and making you think you messed up. For imported aircraft, MSFS generates several files that help it interpret the mdl format. If you change animations, they can disagree with these internal files and MSFS displays the aircraft incorrectly. Try again with the wing spoilers on door_2 and make sure you delete the KC135 CVT folder in Community and also go to these folders and delete the KC135 folder after you make a change to the mdl, then load the game: AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\$PC$\MSFS\COMMUNITY AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\$PC$\SIMOBJECTS\AIRPLANES

@@flyfs ok thank you, I ll try it then I'll let you know if I succeeded.

@@flyfs Thank you very much it worked. I spent many hours to learn how do it and you saved my time.

@@Toby5742 can you send me the plane model with the refueling boom? or are these proprietary? I would love to do aerial refueling in msfs

@@fedoraphill8599Where can I send you it?

Where did you get the planes like the B-1 and KC-135 and the C-5

MSFS doesn't like have double wheels for some reason, you have to edit flight_model.cfg to remove one of the nosewheel contact points then it will retract

These were FSX imports in the early days of the game. There is certainly a similar repaint for the SC Designs F-16 now that it is out

Yeah that person used the camera drone to film

It's just an animation glitch, they are always shown horizontal to other players. Pretty disappointing

Honestly we would really love to, it just comes down to not having permission to distribute the source files, most of which are still payware as you said. It's frustrating to have put all that work in and not be able to share them but it's just not worth the potential headaches :( Thanks for following us though, hopefully you can join in some time!

Yeah, but we did this before the real flight

@@flyfs You were apart of the flyover???

Haha no, I mean we did the flight sim version a day or two before the real flyover happened. So we had no idea which jet would be in the lead when we made the video

The source files are payware

Right now you have to import it from the FSX files, but there is a freeware A330 tanker on Flightsim.to and there is a freeware KC-10 in development

@@flyfs can it refuel mid air and what one is in the vid

It doesn't refuel you, you just fly in formation with the boom and pretend. You can use the menu to increase your fuel if you want. The tanker in the video is a KC-135 but they are all pretty similar

Pretty sure the B-24 is from Flight Replicas. It converted pretty well except the flight model is broken now unfortunately. I definitely don't suggest buying it just to convert it though! Too many limitations

Some are payware products you can buy, others are imported from FSX so you have to get the source files and tweak them (but it isn't really worth it these days)
