blaueente Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Hi How do one get an AI Flight (No commandable Wingman) to refuel at an orbiting Tanker ? I assume it's only possible with heavy scripting, if any. Thanks in advance
Grumpy Old Man Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Place a tanker on the map and add an advanced waypoint with orbit to it. Make sure it has the "Tanker" task running. Place a group that has air to air refuel capabilities and set their fuel to any value below 100%. Add an advanced waypoint of type "Refueling" to the second group. Never got it to work using the S3-B Tanker. KC-135 is working just fine, same goes for the Il-78M. As for aircrafts you want to refuel I only got it to work with A10-C and SU33, no idea if other aircrafts are capable of doing this. Cheers
faviou2 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 The key was puting down the fuel on ia Problem solved on su 24 and mig 31.. Amazing..

Tiramisu Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Never got it to work using the S3-B Tanker. KC-135 is working just fine, same goes for the Il-78M. That is strange, because in my mission AI Hornets are only refueling when S3-B tankers are available. They dont go for the big KC-135. To be more precisely the Hornets either go for the next waypoint or they are just circling around the waypoint where they are supposed to refuel, if there are only KC-135s available. I hope ED will fix this. Edit: Oh, I should also mention, that refueling a group consisting of 4 AI wingmen is a total nightmare. It takes quite a long time time until they decide which wingman should refuel next. Most of the time they are just swinging around the damn tanker. Edited April 3, 2019 by Tiramisu
