 Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2007 11:25 am Post subject: In Flight Refueling.... |
 |
|
Okay I have been working with some guys with deploying the refueling probe on the F/A- 18 so we can try to do a in-flight refuel. Problem is, we couldn't figure out what specific key we can use to extend or retract the probe. After spending some time working around the F/A -18 panels I found the switch:
This switch will allow you to extend and retract the probe for refueling....now the real trick is to dock with a refueling aircraft to get fuel; if anyone flies them!!! I am working on seeing if I can get my Viking (see multiplayer thread) to carry extra fuel to refuel other aircrafts. 
later.

But will your plane actually fuel or will you have to dock and go to the fuel tab?

I believe so.... there is a KC-135 tanker that is equipped to do mid-air refueling for AI and multiplayer. I'll try it out today.

I stand corrected.
I had one guy say he went from 25% to 80% during refuel, but when I went on another multiplayer server, it didn't work at all. If I can get this to work, I will apply this to the KC-10 Tanker.

I first started with the KC135 (don't remember where i got it from, but I ended up with a Airforce DC-10 extender from Commercial Level Simulations. This would be the aircraft we will be trying to mod for in-flight refuelling to work.
