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).
