New in-flight refueling gauge (freeware)

Superb addon - thank you :salute:

Just one small request, does anyone know how to stop the refuelling window appearing each time I switch views?

Thanks
 
works great

Hi Dave, this is unusual - the gauge should not pop up on each view (when you change the view with the 'S' key). Actually it disappears when you start cycling views and get back to your VC view - then you have to press Shift+8 again to see it. This is what happens with all my 2d gauges, e.g. the GPS or the Radio Stack Panel.
 
Hi neutrino,

Yes, very unusual indeed... I'm going to try the gauge in another aircraft later and see if it does the same. Thanks for your comments.

Same problem here in IRIS_F-20
But with Mir2000-5-Rollus and IRIS_F-14 all function without any problem

.......................

Can I add and use the KC-135 with AiCarriers2? How?

I don't know if this is going to work, but you can put this line in your [Window07] section in the panel.cfg file (this should be the window section of the refueling gauge):

visible=0

You can put the line anywhere after [Window07].

With AICarriers2 you can only call boats, so you will not be able to spawn a KC-135.
 
Sounds like it's time to fire up the multiplayer sessions and start practicing probe and drogue. I have a feeling that multi-engine pukes are about to get real popular.

I have used this utility before but I had this problem - the AI aircraft was flying at a steady altitude and speed, however it was constantly pitching up and down - a couple of degrees. It was really strange.

I lose 15~ frames with this small add-on!

that has nothing to do with the fuel gauge, just seems to be .ai planes. I believe there was a tweak at one time, if it is a dedicated .ai craft I am sure there is a tweak. As for the gauge killing your FPS that should not happen, otherwise you would have no FPS just flying regular planes and using there gauges.

Tim, we were referring to the "Formation Flight Toys" utility, not the refueling gauge :)
