+kreelin Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 There is a way to refuel your plane in WOI (didn't test it in others series)... But unfortunately only player a/c can be refuelled. See the little vid below ifr.wmv
+DoctorQuest Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 No lie, Bwanna.... I wonder if this code was included in the WOE/WOV patches?
Silverbolt Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 i didn't saw the video Yet, but it's that Yap Method?
+kreelin Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 No lie, Bwanna.... I wonder if this code was included in the WOE/WOV patches? No... It's a "cheat". Not a new game feature. So do not ask TK about it
+Spectre_USA Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Nice vid! Can it be cobbled to work on the ground? You know, `hot pit' style? It is the only ingredient missing in my much sought after ICT, or Integrated Combat Turn. IFR would be cool as well! Is this an added item with the patch?
+kreelin Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) i didn't saw the video Yet, but it's that Yap Method? Well I don't know what YAP method is but at this time, there is not hundred methods to "cheat" refuelling in this series... I've worked on this longtime ago but never found the good way to do it.

+ST0RM Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Ok, I've got to come clean. TK has cloned me and added the mini-Storm to the game so I can refuel you. Seriously though, it looks as though Kreelin has figured out the third engine thing and gotten it to work. I hope we see more info put forth. Storm

Storm It works exactly as C5 described here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...p;hl=YaP+Refuel and precisely Not sure really...I've never tried it...but... [Engine] SystemType=JET_ENGINE InputName=THROTTLE_CONTROL <-- Maybe this can be changed to something else (possibly THRUST_VECTOR_CONTROL?) EngineID=2 ... You play with negative TSFC and that's it Now before giving the method, I need to find a solution for TVC a/c
+kreelin Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...p;hl=YaP+Refuel Yeah but this is C5 method...
+Soulfreak Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 nice news, i´m looking forward to use this in campaigns. thx Kreelin will this work too, when you land on a friendly airfield??
+kreelin Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah... The tanker is there just for the show. You can refuel everywhere you want (on the ground, in the air, on the carrier...). You can even get more fuel than the a/c max capacity (not realistic but it's up to you ). In fact I worked on this month ago when working on Falklands addons. I wanted a solution to refuel Argies A-4. I was able to add fuel but then the main engine didn't work normaly . So I gave it up... Now I found the way to do it correctly but still have 2 points to resolve. - As it uses TVC, how can I do it for Harriers series ? - The fact that only the player's a/c can be refuelled is real problem. You always finish alone in the air
Emp_Palpatine Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 - The fact that only the player's a/c can be refuelled is real problem. You always finish alone in the air The AI plane do cheat with fuel, don't they?
+kreelin Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) The AI plane do cheat with fuel, don't they? Well AFAIK they used to be but I did a lot of test with the latest patch last night and all my wingies called BINGO few time after my refuelling Edited September 25, 2008 by kreelin
Emp_Palpatine Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 They indeed call bingo since WoI. But did they lack fuel and crash? I've never experienced it, whereas I've gone dry myself.
+Gr.Viper Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 The call bingo and immediately head for home base mostly.
+kreelin Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 The call bingo and immediately head for home base mostly. Exactly... So you are quicly alone then.
Silverbolt Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 yeah, and it's hard as a hell to fly in formation with those tankers.... xD i've been playing with KC-10 and Kc-135 and it's very hard to do IFR......i preffer probe and basket way
Wraith27 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Refueling is a very good thing but what about reload weapons? If I remember it was possible in FLANKER 2.5 (on the ground ofcourse )
