Hey all. I recently joined the Virtual C-17 Operations Group on Discord. Great bunch of people made up of current and ex USAF ATC, load masters, tanker crew, and other USAF members, as well as civvie simmers. They have just started a few weeks back, but they aim to create a fun atmosphere and to recreate realistic training missions and transport and tanker flights. They plan on having formation flights, and are in fact having one this Sunday out of KLTS, Altus AFB, where most of the training routes are conducted from. I have never been big in to multiplayer myself, but being a fan of the C-17, this group attracted my interest, and this group has a lot going for it, aiming to have fun simming while recreating real world cargo and tanker ops. It has been a lot of fun so far.

They are currently using the brilliant freeware, native MSFS C-17 being created by Destroyer121, available at Flightsim.to. I believe there will also be tanker ops, with a KC-135 that was available (seems to have been taken down now) and a KC-10 which is in development, and is looking great.

See this post at the MSFS forum for more info, and the original post from the founder, Ashley.

Here is a quick vid showing the current V0.8 of the C-17, which was just released a couple of days ago.
