tanker request

[colubridae]

I'm trying to set up a facility to have a tanker waiting on a cat until I request tanker via a radio signal. Is there a way to do this? pretty please

 

 

(I was hoping to have the tanker sitting on the cat at start of mission, ie not using the late activation option)

Late activation is precisely the way to go with this. But you can have it 'T/O from runway' rather than 'from ramp' and it should spawn on the catapult as soon as it's activated.

As Kang said, Late Activation is one way to do this, however, the aircraft will not be visible on the catapult prior to its activation.

 

You could alternatively set the aircraft as uncontrolled. With it set up this way, you would see the Viking parked on the flight deck, however on the Start command, it will be a cold start, resulting in a 60-second startup procedure, taxi, and launch.

 

Approximately 150 seconds from the initial command to airborne.
