AI Refuelling Task

[MeerCaT]

When setting up AI aircraft in a mission editor is it possible to have them land at an airport, refuel and then take off again and continue with its waypoints?

 

Thanks.

You could do it with two AI. The first one lands and gets turned off and after an appropriate interval the second one takes off.

I see what you mean. Kind of clever sneakyness! :)

 

So there's no official 'refuel' task.

And come to think of it, no 'rearm' either I supose. Shame.

 

Ok thanks.

There is a refueling task if the aircraft can be refueled mid-air and a tanker is active in the mission. The AI will simply fly to the tanker, get fuel, and fly back to their route. AI will also automatically vector to a tanker and refuel once they get low on fuel. The problem with the automatic way of doing it is that the AI will only do it as a flight if the flight lead vectors to the tanker.
