Paul,

Great screenshots! Did you use my Maine ANG/Vermont ANG refueling flights as a base for creating your C-17 refueling scenario? :wink:

I see a smart model mix here, Paul :wink:

Is this refuelled C-17 FSD flyable one?

Mike,

Your Maine ANG/Vermont ANG refueling flights where my inspiration. I made these flightplans to go with my "McChord Rodeo 07". What better way to do a refueling scenario with the BIG BOYS. I studied your excellent NEUMAI package and came up with this. I experimented with changing the aircraft cfg. files a little in RipPipPip's C-17 and the C-5 to match the Stratotankers speed. Before the C-5 Galaxy was to fast and the C-17 was a little to slow. Haven't tried it on any other aircraft to see if it really works.

RipPipPip,

The two in the background are you excellent AI Models and the one being refueled is a flyable one. I'll have to check to see what model it is.

I believe it's the Project Open Sky C-17

Paul,

Thanks for your kind words on my NEUMAI1 package. Unfortunately I am now way behind in my work on that series. :(

To the first order the adjustments in the aircraft.cfg files will work to synchronize the aircraft cruise speeds, but you are still probably going to get a slight difference that will probably separate them over time. The KC-135E and F-16C that I used were particularly difficult due to some inherent problems in the F-16C's original aircraft.cfg file. :wink:

In any event, great screenshots and keep up the great work. :)

Mike
