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.
This certainly works, but discussion with Rudolfo has revealed that it was a
"cheat" in that it was an FS98 adventure, and contact with the refuelling
aircraft resulted in immediate loading of a new flight in which the aircraft
is fully fuelled!!
Whilst effective in this context, it's unfortunately no use for my intention,
namely to do it within a CFS mission. IF anyone knows how it could be done
"for real", then please let me know!
Cheers,
Iain.
