Hi, I committed a new facility for the A4F yesterday. It now has a functioning AAR capability with YASim, like the one already available for JSBSim. I have also taken the opportunity to adjust the panel to make it more nearly like that of an A4F, rather than an A4C, although a couple of the instruments are not correct, principally the ASI should be replaced with a combined ASI/Mach instrument. I have added a nav-display on which TACAN data is displayed. In due course waypoints will also be displayed there as well.
To use all these goodies, you need to have included refuelling_demo_1.xml in your preferences.xml file. You can then tune your TACAN to the channel of the KC135 (039X), which is on a long N/S racetrack starting in the vicinity of KSFO. You will see the TACAN position on the nav display (it's a Plan Position Indicator so N is always up). You can make your approach, and when you are within 250 ft of the tanker, a green light will come on in the fuel contents gauge, and fuel transfer will take place. When you have taken enough fuel, you can break off. If you also have nimitz_demo.xml in your preference file, you cab retune your TACAN to the Nimitz channel (029Y), and recover back aboard. That should keep you busy for a while, enjoy! Regards, Vivian PS Yes, the A4 has a probe while the KC135 is a boom refueller. I'm working on a KA6-D right now. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
