Automatic tanker briefing documents

[TonyG]

As the need for more tanker resources grows (boom and drogue), planning multiple tankers, each with discreet tacan channels and frequencies, becomes more challenging to input and communicate with clients on multiplayer servers.

 

It would be beneficial to mission designers and pilots alike, if the mission editor was able to collate the tanker altitude, speed, tacan, and frequencies into the briefing page, or perhaps directly into a common kneeboard. Adding AWACs in this format would also be useful.

 

While this may overlap with some of the data/methods used by external scripting, simplification of adding 4+ tankers plus AWACs is a benefit to all. The creation of multiple frequencies, tacan channels, altitudes and airspeeds introduces potential for errors on the design side and confusion on the user side. This would address both those concerns.

A general AI tanker overhaul is long overdue IMHO.

It would be nice to have, just like automatic information on carriers, JTACs, AWACS and all the other AI controlled peeps with 'higher functionality', but on the other hand, it takes about a minute tops to write that down in the actual briefing text.
