Any way of simulating an air to air fuel without basket connection

[Badger633]

Just to explain. I am just finishing a 10 mission campaign for the F18. Many of the missions involve. Air to air refuelling including a night refuel. Like a lot of pilots the dark art of air to air refuelling escaped me for quite a while. With that in mind I want my campaign still to be accessible for pilots who have not got that down yet as well. So I will issue to flavours of the same campaign. One only requiring pilots to locate and get close to the air to air refueler and not have to make the final basket connection.

The question then, is there any way I could use the location of the player to the refueler to trigger a refuel of the aircraft. I cannot see a way at the moment but maybe there is clever script that could be used?

If not then I could set a mission status so aircraft do not run out of fuel linked with a player requirement to get within the location of refuelers as a mission success requirement. I can set that up easy enough but a little concerned about implication of players having to engage in combat and land on the carrier with full tanks

Any help much appreciated

Thanks
