Wahoo12 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Realistically seen, the wingtip pylons on the F-5E have no fuel transfer capabilities. Please correct me in case I'm wrong here. Guess that would go against realism a little, as much as I'd like to have them too. Would be out of place in a simulator. :/ What we need is more F-5 variants. :p I would personally love to see an F-5A Skoshi Tiger added (with fuel probe and wingtip fuel tanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Please Note: This Mod is not working w/ DCS 2.5.0.15184 due to Stricter Integrity Check blocking the Modded F-5E.lua I'm looking into a workaround if possible.

If you found a way to edit a bit pylon things would be epic! With the new IC thingy, my central engine aerobatic smoke doesn't work anymore as well since i made edit in f-5E.lua and entry.lua. Sad. Hope we can found a solution by passing by saved games or anything else :) Good Luck! Member of the Virtual Patrouille Suisse Since 2010. High and slow, fast and low.

Stratos Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 SkateZilla, any chance you can add a similar mod that adds a "VISUAL ONLY" refuelling probe to the Tiger? Saudi Arabia used them, and I plan to use Saudis F-5 Tiger on Hormuz map. Thanks. If you need more pics or diagrams of the probe just tell me and I will help you.
