In-Flight Refueling gauge + video
SpazSinbad:
neutrino, thanks for gauge, have not been able to try it yet and the video is terrific. Here is a TomCat singing 'goodbye' to the KC-135 tanker for the last time:

Dont know if you thought or tried this, but would you be able to tie the Panel Activation ("Refuel ON/OFF") to the Refueling Switch that extends the probe? Or vise versa, that opening the Panel and clicking on Refuel ON extends the refuelling probe? And clicking it OFF retracts it? That would be the most realistic way to do it.

Sludge, your idea is sound but I don't know which variable controls the boom animation in the Hornet - it is specific to the Hornet model and is not accessible.

That video is cool - I've seen it before but lost the link ;D
SUBS17:
I think if you use FSUIPC you can actually have the probe connect to the basket using some addons BTW what exactly does this gauge do anyway because you can inflight refuel without a gauge just by flying up behind a tanker with just a stock acceleration Hornet. ???
The best modelling of inflight refuelling from the basket that I've seen was Flaming Cliffs 1.0 which featured a flexible hose which was quite cool ideally you also want TACAN for the tanker like in F4AF and also Tanker commands menu to allow refuelling of the entire flight. So if a 4 ship requests refuelling everyone tops up.

Hmm, that sucks. FSXNP doesnt know? Or maybe Virtuali knows? Gotta be something simple (ie. "A:REFUELING_PROBE_POSITION, percent" or "K:REFUELING_SWITCH_TOGGLE") in .xml. I mean every FSX Hornet switch that can be moved and has an action, should be readable or actionable thru an .xml gauge, right?
