F-5EM / CF-5 Fuel Probe Mod by denissoliveira

It does not show anything like that for me... It only shows the option "Insert Image from URL"

Because the fuel system in the DLL does not allow fuel transfer, as there is no code for it.
Same for Wingtip Tanks, they can hold fuel, but the aircraft wont use it as there is no code to allow it to transfer fuel from those pylons.

Well, there must be a way to add those codes. After all, the A-4 team started from scratch and made it happen. 

There must be a transfer code of some sort in the F-5 since you can transfer from left to right wing. No?

I think you answered your own question... The A-4 is made from scratch and added  the fuel transfer code to their systems model... That is probably inside a DLL and it is not LUA code.

The A-4 actually did not had AAR in the beginning. I've seen a couple of post on their Discord saying that it would never be possible unless ED unlocked something on their side... 

 

And than AAR was possible. Their is something that could make this possible, but no one is sharing it.

Right. ED unlocked "something" and the A-4 team was able to add AAR to their code that is in the DLLs.... Because they have full access to their source code and compile their DLL from it... Which, sadly, is not the case with the F-5E (Don't get me wrong, I wish I'm wrong, since I want AAR in the Tiger II, but chances are that I am not.) See StakeZIlla's remark above

Would love to see more cosmetic improvements in order to get a A or a C variant as you did in the past. Like better fuselage frop tanks, better pilot...

Draken said something I was thinking while trying to find the Sensor.lua of the F-5. I can not find any AN/APQ-153 file and might be hidden inside the main DCS's folder so I can not modify the values in order to make it works like the Grifo F. So what we need to do first is:
If the A-4C modders really contacted ED to help them, we going to need that as well... If that's not true, so it's going to be way harded to see a F-5EM really working well some day...

Then when with open codes on our hands, we are going to put some effort and will be my pleasure to help.

The question is: Who from ED do we have to talk about it?...

My dear, a brazilian managed to make the refuelling to work. We just need the refuel probe in the external model. However,  it has to be done in the saved games folder of the mod, not in the root folder. Can we work on that? I believe that merging both works will be an amazing gain to the community! Let's make it work!

Are you saying we can get refuelled now? I know it's possible to connect, but I haven't heard about a successful refueling!

Cheers!

I have a dll that enables the Air Refuel for F-5E.

And you plan to share it or simply want to tell us?

[ST0RM]

I added this to the F-5E and using a SEA repaint, have made a pseudo F-5C. But the probe is on the incorrect side. 
Could the 3D file be mirrored for the other side? Even without, it adds some Vietnam vibes.

Haven't tried out this mod until now, but I'm looking forward to do so. Is it compatible with the Wingtip Tanks mod?

The Wingtips tank mod is self contained, you only need to at the store lines.

[denissoliveira]

A new version is coming out, version 3.

I don't have the MiG19, I can't do it.

Fix: It is now possible to attach the tanker basket (it still does not refuel);

[denissoliveira]

I'm going to update the mod and add FC4, it's already working but I need to see what only F5 of FC4 is like.

This is what I want for the fuel probe only.  Put this folder into the Mods folder and make the change like your tip tanks.  Less Root files modified.

Right now I'm remastering the Wingtanks and 150 Gallon tanks, I have no plans to do antennae or refueling probe.

But from what I saw it was also self contained.

I May go a similar path, with having a separate F-5E / F-5A Declared, import the base F-5E then declare an sub variant, and add the changes to that variant..
