LightningF6 xtra hardpoints.7z

Recommended Posts


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

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,
