How to set up tanker for inflight refueling?

Featured Replies

I'm relatively new at this so plz be patient. I am trying to set up a KC 135 tanker with refueling boom so that it will be at steady state so I can find it and refuel with the f18 from acceleration. I have downloaded all the bits and gauges and the tanker itself off the net but can't for the life of me figure out a way to set the tanker aflight on a path so I can find it. I suspect it has to be made an AI flight but don't know how to do it :( .Any help is greatly appreciated.Alex C

Hi Alex,You need to add an AI Object (the tanker), then choose to make that object behave like an AIRPLANE (from the drop down list), then choose for the object to follow a series of waypoints. You need at least one waypoint for it to move. In your case I guess you could create two waypoints and just make it fly between those two. There are several settings that you have to set for the tanker to behave like you need it to.If you haven't done so already, I would recommend reading this, especially the part about AI OBJECTS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc...x#mozTocId77975Hope this helps ...
