OK I've put something in Git which works as follows:
If the callsign is MOBIL1, 2, or 3, the MP Player is recognized as a tanker
It will have a TACAN transmitter assigned and the property 'tanker' is set
to true.
If the callsign is MOBIL*, the MP Player is recognized as a tanker but no
TACAN is assigned. The property 'tanker' is set to true.
If the callsign is *, and the property 'tanker' is true the MP player is
recognized as a tanker.
The property 'tanker' may be toggles at runtime in the transmit player, and
will be reflected in the client.
I hope that's enough for you to make it all work using some Nasal, while not
losing the original concept.
I hope that's enough for you to make it all work using some Nasal, while not
losing the original concept.
You can put this in the ~-set.xml file:
false
or use some Nasal to initialize the property. I've tested it briefly
toggling the property at runtime, and it seems to work.

the code doesn't set tanker to false, but never set contact to true line
462 in AIMultiplayer.cxx, starting with:
if ( isTanker) {
and without contact, no refueling ...
to summarry: the c++ code only test the tanker contact if the callsign is a
MOBIL, and aar.nas use the tanker property and
the contact to allow refueling.
my code use the tanker property instead of the callsign test in the c++ code,
but i'm not sure this is the best way to go.

AFAIKS in the code an aircraft gets a TACAN if the callsign is MOBIL1 (060X), MOBIL2 (061X), or MOBIL3 (062X). On the other hand if the callsign includes MOBIL, it is recognized as a tanker on MP. The property 'isTanker' is not transmitted by default over the net and is not handled on receipt. It is set to 'false' for all mp aircraft, and is only set to true if the callsign contains MOBIL is the first part. The tanker property is used in aar.nas to determine if refueling takes place.

I'm not quite sure what you want here. Would I be correct in saying that you want to be able to switch the tanker status on and off over MP? If so - I think that is a good idea, and one that was intended from the outset, but never got implemented. (I cant remember why - I think it just got lost). If so I'll get on the case.

[Flightgear-devel] about mp refueling
Hi,
currently we can only refuel by mp behing a "MOBIL" plane, with a plane
having the "multiplay/tanker" set.
here's a proposal that permit to use any callsign (yes i know in this
case the tanker will not have a tacan working), and any plane, for
exemple the tanker pilot can cut the probe/drogue alimentation, or with
adding a refueling pod any plane can become a tanker
if a c++ guru can have a look and commit (any comment welcome, my c++
skills are just at a beguinner state).
the victor is waiting for this (or something similar), with a refuelling
available by mp only when the drogue is out .
