Empty external fuel tanks

[Whirley]

The Heatblur F-14 has empty external fuel tanks available in the loadout screen. This gives us the option of taking off with empty external fuel tanks and then topping up via air-to-air refueling. Which is fun.

I am requesting this early in hope to get it when the F1 EE arrives.

Maybe some players would also enjoy it with the F1 CE to get the look with tanks but lower total weight.

To achieve the lower weight, you could add the tanks and add then lower the fuel in the re-arm screen.

Hi the Mirage 2000 has it too. You can choose between full or empty tanks

After looking on the M2000 lua files, it seems to be easy to do. i will work on it ASAP.

How'd you get it to have a refueling probe?

Just modify the custom argument in the liverie description file

here are the arg that i have for the RC 2/30 liverie, I made a copy from the RC 1/30 folder and took the arg at the end of the descripion.lua file

Just saw that the tail variant was wrong, corrected it yet.

custom_args = 
{
    [70] = 0.501,-- Mirage F1 cockpit
    [901] = 0.0,--helmet skin variant
    [902] = 0.1,--Ejection seat type    
    [985] = 0.5,--tail variant
    [986] = 0.1,--CHAFF/FLARE
    [987] = 0.2,--NOSE
    [988] = 0.2,--RWR variant
    [989] = 0.1,--OIL DRAIN variant
    [990] = 0.501,--WING LIGHT variant
    [991] = 0.1,--MIRAGE F1 variant
    [992] = 0.1,--MIRROR COCKPIT variant
    [993] = 0.0,--FLIGHT NUMBER variant            
}

for the probe it's the 987 arg the set up to 0.2

Added them internally, should be available in the next update.

[grim_reaper68]

Do you want the lua file ? 

[fausete]

No worries, we've done it already. Probably in the same way as you did it.

Thanks anyway, as it helps a lot when the community brings attention to these little details that may go unnoticed otherwise.
