Re: Real Inflight refueling with KC-135 or KC-10 dynamic sce

[irmurray]

Hi Charles,


It would seem to require adding code to the scasm file.
Could this be done by converting a FS98 KC-135 into a static scenery file, then


add a refuel area to the aircraft itself, then converting to dynamic scenery?

Your posting was a while ago - did you ever get this to work? I've been trying
something similar myself with little success, and wondered if you'd cracked it?
I even tried directly manipulating the fuel level variables in the aircraft,
but it made no difference.

Thanks for any comments,


Iain Murray.

GENTLEMEN,

I'm not sure how long ago this topic was started, but back in the FS98 days, I
was involved with a fellow by the name of Rodolfo Liva, from Argentina, with
respect to attempting a similar simulation; that is, to "create" a fully fueled
aircraft from an in-flight tanker.

Now I'm no programer, so I won't take any credit for his program other than to
say my participation was as Beta tester and english translater! He approached
me, by the way, after checking out a file I had up-loaded which provided a
meeting with a re-fueler over the Atlantic.

Rodofo's file allows for a B-52 to refuel or, failing that, the opportunity to
"glide" to a landing on a fictitious island in the south Atlantic.

Anyway, the point to all of this, is Rodolfo accomplished the refuelling
simulation by providing code which, if you were sucessful in finding and being
able to "hook up" to a tanker, you got a re-fuelled B-52. What actually
happened, was you got another B-52, ........but one displaying topped up
tanks!!

A search of the Library here should reveal a copy......just use his name for
the search.

You might be interested in checking it out.
