Note: In the case of the tanker and for my particular needs, it is a very, very, very minor wish... It is just a matter of knowing if adding this feature to FG would be a big deal in the core code, and also if this elevation/AI problem is encountered in other matters. Gijs problem with AI aircrafts and shelters is from the same order. Actually it's not a really clear notion for us modelers, when an object is solid or not, why can we fly under a solid AI which in FG internals is kind of on top of a terrain vertical volume... and so on...
