I downloaded the KC-135D BASE PACK today, but when it was on my computer I saw the zip file with the following name: "HJG_Boeing_KC-135E_v5". The same name showed when I downloaded the KC-135E BASE PACK.Is the KC-135D Base Pack the same as the KC-135E BASE PACK?
With kind regards

I'll have a look at this later today .... when I can (working from non-FS PC's at the moment). I can say that "NONE" of the C-135 SERIES base pack have been replaced since 2006 (with the exception of the recently added new RC-135A J57 base pack), so, whatever's there has been there as-is since 2006/7. I'll need to look at this more closely as there are at least 2 cases where our C-135 SEREIES simulations intentionally use the same base pack, but, in such cases either their FDE or model (or both) content differs. I need to investigate this before I can reply definitively and act decisively  Mark C AKL/NZ |

According to the stock I have on hand (have had on hand since 2006/7 at least) .... HJG have never offered a "KC-135D" specific base pack. It appears all we've ever had/offered "as aircraft type specific base packs" for the KC's are .... KC-135A, KC-135E, and KC-135R .... but nothing else. It would therefore appear the currently listed KC-135D texture "intentionally" uses the KC-135E base pack Why it was set up in this manner I don't know .... since I had no part to play in this. However .... "IF" Erik (he's our C-135 SERIES expert, but, like me, had nothing to do with what's currently presented either) were to come back to me as say there's a significant weight difference between the -D and the -E, then, I'll consider creating a "KC-135D" specific base pack (model edits are out of the question though) .... by virtue of the fact we obviously currently have a space for it, but for the moment at least, no such action is required on our part, so again, use the current "D" texture with the "E" base pack  Be advised also .... with the exception of our recently (last week) released "NEW" RC-135A J57 aircraft base pack .... "NONE" of our currently offered C-135 SERIES simulations have ever undergone any FDE modifications/upgrades since 2006/7 ... beyonf what's necessary for tour B707 panels to work with them. This's changing though (since these simulations have been/are desperately in need of FDE upgrading) per a project Mike and I are currently working on (and in relation to the B707's/720's also) .... as time and opportunity permit .... and which I'll be reporting in regard to in due course.

Just for general interest .... The following comparative notes reinforce what appears to be our "intentional" use of the KC-135D texture with the "E" aircraft base pack and the fact no adjustment is really needed on our part .... As all of our C-135 SERIES simulations are assigned various versions of our current B707 panels .... PANEL & SOUND ASSIGNMENTStonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9792/series-panel-sound-assignments-flying.... each feature a FD based FE panel regardless of aircraft type and simulation assignment. No further modification to any of these "actual panels" is planned or anticipated. Mark C AKL/NZ |
