Now that we have a Panther...Is this possible? - AIRdomination - 06.09.2009

Or did the F9F-2 variant not be able to? Something like this would be very very cool to have. I remember a couple of people talking about in-flight refueling a while back. lol Now we actually have a plane that can.

And yes I'm aware that we need a host-fuel aircraft before we can go on. But maybe this would persuade someone? :lol:

The F84 can do it too using its wing tip tanks.. it was the first actual combat refuel in Korea. I saw a post from FLakiten showing it work..and the fuel guage going up.. so yes, I think it IS possible and Flak was looking at it..how far along he got I don't know but he certainly has a heck of a track record.

Flak is the God of Mod!

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! Hold the phone!!! Does anyone else notice the tail hook on the tanker in that?!? What plane is that anyway?

Could this be done in IL-2? Looks like it would take lots of programming. Does anyone know the name of the tanker plane on the picture?


- AIRdomination - 06.09.2009

With more research, I have concluded the tanker aircraft to be an AJ-1 Savage.

AJ-2 was the ground attack version, while the AJ-1 was one of the Tanker versions for Navy.

Good idea. Didn't they use B-29s as tankers in the first air refueling trials ? If that's the case, you have your tanker model...

Cheers

WOW awesome job Flak! I hope in future works of this mod we won't have that "snap to position" thing behind the tanker that I saw :lol:

Its one thing that always killed me in other games is that in air refueling, the game always did it for you Tongue

But this is a great breakthrough, man!!
