As of FlightGear 2.4.0 you can request a tanker close to your current position, via the in-sim <tt>AI > Tanker Controls</tt> dialog. | As of FlightGear 2.4.0 you can request a tanker close to your current position, via the in-sim <tt>AI > Tanker Controls</tt> dialog. The tanker AI dialog allows you to select one of the appropriate tanker types, set the airspeed and the contact radius. The contact radius is a useful approximation of realism as it allows you to receive fuel based on your ability to hold position. | ||
The AI tanker aircraft has a simplified flight model which isn't affected by the atmospheric simulation. This means that it can be hard to hold position in bad weather. | |||
==== AI Scenarios ==== | |||
There are some AI scenarios that place a tanker aircraft at a specific position flying a predefined route. Generally these scenarios are less useful than the AI Tanker dialog. To use one of these scenarios it much first be activated from the AI Traffic and Scenario settings dialog (or in the command line). | |||
Certain aircraft such as the A4F, Lightning or T38 automatically load a scenario containing a tanker. | |||
