AI tanker circuit flight plan

[jbellardi]

I would like to have a tanker fly a sqaure pattern so that I can refuel from such a tanker. Is it possible to create such an AI flight plan or can you only create a flightplan from point A to point B.

As I understand it can be done, but that MAIW will be able to tell me how. Any ideas hoe this can be accomplished.

I have traffic tools but need the flightplan data to create such a flight plan. I can create flightplans from one airport to another airport, but would like to know if it is possible to have an airplane flown a sqaure without landing and always on a specific height. If it can be done I would like to know how such a flight plan will look to be used in TTools.

if someone have done this already and there is such a flightplan to download, please point me to such a flightplan.

Any help will be hugely appreciated.

In particular read from my second post. It works for me. You have to create some fictious airport with AFCAD or ADE. Consider also that the AI aircraft will touch and goes at every fictious airport.

You're better off using the Recorder module to "record" a tanker flight and then play it back when ever you want to. It really is a better way to do this sort of thing, no flight planning or timing or even altitude issues, it does exactly what you want it to do. Plus you can load it up at any time of the day or night in any kind of weather, it makes no difference.

The only drawback is that this "traffic" will not be true AI traffic in the sense that it will not be controlled by the AI engine and therefore will not interact with the real AI traffic around it.
