Lexx_Luthor Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 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. Quote

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 Edited December 11, 2008 by charley111 Quote

Kirsten Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 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, Derk Quote
