vAirTanker Vs vLSO

<< < (8/8)

SUBS17:
In Lockon the hose is modeled in such a way that the hose can do that while refuelling. Its quite tricky to hook up with prior to FC1 it was scripted where once connected you remained attached until you backed off. Now it will move as you collect it with the probe, if they ever model airflow over the drogue it'll be very interesting to hook up with.

I know someone managed to get the boom on a tanker to hook up to the MilViz F-15E. (I think it was Chris Dub?) I think the VRS devs also have mentioned knowing how to do it, but in order to successfully make a hose/drogue work and look good, the model would have to be exceedingly complex.

Not so much, just an actual skeletal animation system, which will allow bendable joints based on mathematics, rather than predefined animation.

Sub17,

Even the latest Java works well with AICarriers. Just make sure you have a 32bit Java installed, EVEN if your OS is 64bit.
SandPro has written some elaborate posts on this subject in VRS forums.

I used to have the same problems too, but not it's all good.
