Hi All, I've just committed some small changes to the AI air-to-air refueling function:
1) Added support for multiple tankers of each type, selectable through the AI-Tankers GUI. Tankers are now defined in AI/tankers.xml. 2) Added an A-4F "buddy" tanker. 3) Enhanced the UI to allow the user to set the speed of the tanker, and the radius at which "contact" is made. Note that this is based on the origin of tanker and user. As a future enhancement I want to add offsets to indicate the position of the refuelling probe/receiver on the user aircraft, and the location of the boom/drogue on the tanker. 4) Added a user-toggled function to display messages when contact i made or lost. Some aircraft don't seem to have any obvious cockpit indicator that refuelling is in progress, and we don't currently animate the probe being in the drogue :) 5) Added maximum fuel flow definitions to both the tanker and receiver. While the KC-135 supports flow of 6000 lbs/min, smaller tankers (such as the A4-F buddy tanker) only provided ~1300 lbs/min. the actual fuel flow is taken as the minimum of the two. Note that the maximum fuel flow affects both AI and MP tankers. I've been unable to test with the latter, but have set a default to ensure backwards compatibility. Feedback welcome as always. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
