=== Air-to-Air Refueling Improvements === | |||
AI air-to-air refueling has been improved by Stuart and now offers increased realism and improved useability: | |||
* You can now select from a range of refueling tankers. In addition to the previous KA6-D Intruder and KC-135 Stratotanker, you can now use a A-4F buddy tanker or the A330-MMRT tanker. | |||
* The refuelling "envelope" (e.g. how close you need to get to the tanker to refuel) is now configurable. | |||
* As many aircraft don't have an easy to see fuel gauge (particularly if you're concentrating hard on keeping right up to the tanker!), you can now ask your virtual co-pilot to tell you when you engage/disengage. | |||
* Finally, aircraft can now define the exact position of the refuelling point. | |||
