Hey charley that's interesting. I'm looking for ways so RAF can make Lightnings have more range for fictional escort, including extra drop tanks or highly fictional air-refueling. Any source for these hardpoints you use? I know the Saudis added some extra carrying ability, for strike I think.

Well i dont know about mid air refueling but you can increase the on board fuel cap if you go to objects\aircraft\lightningf6 folder select the fmk6_data configuration

 

// Fuel Tanks ---------------------------------------------------------

 

[FuselageFuelCell1]

SystemType=FUEL_TANK

FuelTankID=1

MaxFuelAmount=2025.0 --INCREASE VALUE HERE

SelfHealing=TRUE

FireSuppression=TRUE

MinExtentPosition=-0.26, 1.50,-0.65

MaxExtentPosition= 0.26,-1.50, 0.28

 

[RightWingFuelCell]

SystemType=FUEL_TANK

FuelTankID=2

MaxFuelAmount=928.7 --INCREASE VALUE HERE

SelfHealing=FALSE

FireSuppression=FALSE

MinExtentPosition= 3.98,-0.69,-0.81

MaxExtentPosition= 1.32, 2.12,-0.64

 

[LeftWingFuelCell]

SystemType=FUEL_TANK

FuelTankID=3

MaxFuelAmount=928.7 -- INCREASE VALUE HERE

SelfHealing=FALSE

FireSuppression=FALSE

MinExtentPosition=-3.98,-0.69,-0.81

MaxExtentPosition=-1.32, 2.12,-0.64

 

just rember to keep the wing fuel cells even and remember the more fuel you add the heavier you will be

This is fictional as far as i know. I just wanted to carry more weapons on the fmk6

AFAIK the correct fuel quantities are 2209 kg for fuel cell1, and 1289.5 kg each for the other two. Quite a lot, but gone very quickly with two thirsty Avons.......

And don't forget to add SystemName[013]=FuselageFuelCell1 to the fuselage systems (if not already done) because otherwise 2209 kg of fuel are not useable. Makes a lot of difference !

 

Aju,
