Menessis Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I have been wondering about the way a tanker behaves. Is it realistic to have a tanker cut short a race track pattern to suit a an incoming flight? i played around with some triggers and a 4 steer point pattern. The idea is if I approach the tanker track the tanker will turn 180° and role out in front of me. So I made use of a moving 100000’ trigger zone on the tanker that had it change from steer 2 to steer 4. I was kinda excited when I tried it the tanker began a 5 nm left turn ! But it was short lived when it came through 90° and the reversed the turn into a 270° right turn! I tried tweeking a bunch of things to fix it. Stretched the pattern from 6 to 9 did get it to work once! But only if my flight was no where near it. I wonder if the AI code has a feature to keep it from doing this? Menessis
