<description>
The following scenario puts an aerial tanker in a N/S
towline starting over KSFO at 8000 ft AGL. The tanker
uses the KC-135 model, but you can use any model.
Note that AI aircraft do not react to wind, therefore your
speed and bank angle will have to vary along the orbit
since your "user" aircraft *does* react to the wind.
I recommend using the T-38 as your airplane for four
reasons: (1) it has a radar screen which may be needed
to find the tanker; (2) it has the speed to catch the
tanker; (3) it uses a JSBSim FDM, which means it can
onload fuel; (4) it has a green light added to the
instrument panel, between the fuel gauges, which comes
on when you are in the refueling envelope.
The A4F also has a refueling capabilty using
YASim, with a green light in the fuel level gauge.
It also has a nav-display which can be set to
display the A/A TACAN position of the channel
listed below.
Right now the air refueling envelope is very loose, and I
plan on tightening it up in the future. Currently no
aerodynamic effects of refueling are modeled
(i.e downwash, bow wave, vortices).
