New in-flight refueling gauge (freeware)

[wilycoyote4]

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 seem to have the same AI behavior and the greater the speed the greater the change in altitude but I'll fly more flights to see if this program is more useful.

There is a very nice tutorial how to create flight plans with AI Flight Planner on the VRS forum:

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

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

Does any of you guys use the COP3 gauge (Carrier Operation Package[SIZE=-1]) ?[/SIZE]

I use with IRIS F-20 and IRIS F-14, and deleted the refueling gauge

My idea was that if you used the refueling gauge on an aircraft that also had the COP3 gauge - this is why the refueling gauge pops up on every view. The COP3 gauge keeps one of its windows (the COP3 control panel) always open, and my gauge has the same ident as the COP3 window. So the problem is very easy to fix - in the panel.cfg simply change the ident of the refueling gauge from "ident=10080" to "ident=10180" and that's it - the refueling gauge will appear only when you call it

Yes neutrino I use the COP3 gauge, and I'd have never spotted the window ident duplication... :isadizzy:

Thanks very much for the work around :salute:

Thanks neutrino

Hi neutrino,

Loving the refuelling gauge and the KC-135... I wonder if I could make a request? My buddies and I use the David Maltby AI VC-10 with the visible drogues for refuelling. Is it possible to reconfigure the gauge so that we can refuel from either drogue position on the VC-10?

There is a new KC-135T Stratotanker with NAVY drogue (basket) for FSX that you can download from here, it's the best to refuel and easiest to install in my opinion:
