In flight refuel in WOI...

[+kreelin 2]

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

This is very cool!

[+DoctorQuest 120]

No lie, Bwanna....

 

I wonder if this code was included in the WOE/WOV patches?

[Silverbolt 104]

i didn't saw the video Yet, but it's that Yap Method?

No... It's a "cheat". Not a new game feature. So do not ask TK about it

[+Spectre_USA 7]

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?

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.

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.

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

Yeah but this is C5 method...

[+Soulfreak 6,506]

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 2]

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

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

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

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 131]

The call bingo and immediately head for home base mostly.

Exactly... So you are quicly alone then.

[Silverbolt 104]

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 6]

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 )
