i wonder if it's possible to link deployment of the refueling hoses to airspeed, as opposed to gear retraction??? Say, have them extend around 200 knots??

possible yes, the KC-135As boom is set by airspeed


[Refuel]
SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE
DeploymentMethod=AUTOMATIC_MACH
CD0=-0.0010
Setting[1].Angle=0.0
Setting[1].DeployValue=0.00
Setting[1].RetractValue=0.32
Setting[2].Angle=90.0
Setting[2].DeployValue=0.240<<<<<<<<<
Setting[2].RetractValue=0.235<<<<<<<<<
MaxDeflection=90.0
MinDeflection=0.0
ControlRate=0.5
AnimationID=8
//ReverseModelOrientation=TRUE

i set the particular arrowed values on mine because of the hose drogue attachment (a "gunpod set many feet below the tanker"), it gets the boom lined up with the hose and drogue quickly

but if the hose and drogue animation are part of the model, no sweat and the speed can be bumped up some if a hose and drogue pod is used, then not so much. but responses are limited

V2K, will the hose be a part of teh model, and set to airspeed? That, detective, is the right question

if this modding thing doesnt work out, might want to try making obscure airline decal sheets before getting the number to that truck driving school on tv
