jh9151 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 love the mod makes refueling in flight easier. May I suggest adding a boom with drogue that way my aircraft with probes can use them to since. Also is it possible to make a smaller pod so people could engage in buddy tanking with a smaller aircraft acting as the tanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDARKOMETER Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Love the mod, especially the drop tanks, it really improved drag issues in my plane. Also, any chances we can get conformal fuel tanks like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Problem is - conformal to what? When you have a fuel tank conform to something you already know the shape that its fitting onto. You can't assume anything with KSP's ability to build all kinds of shapes. At best, you're asking for long narrow fuel tanks you can clip into the aircraft as you please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting different shapes and length tanks will be complicated and cumbersome. You can use stock tanks to construct conformal tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin_Maclure Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Quick question: the AARS Fuel Port Type A/B, for those to function properly, do they have to be attached at the very surface (i.e.: where they attach when you initially install them) or will they work if you recess them, up to a certain point? Cool mod! Glad I found it! Cheers, CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool mod! Glad I found it! Cheers, CM Expand 1 No need. Actually, we use two triggers to check whether two vessels are docking, one is on the top of the boom, one is in the hole of the fuel port. When two triggers are in contact, the program will judge they are docked. But it's still working although the fuel port is under the surface. Because that's no collider on the top of the boom, the trigger on the boom still can be contacted with the trigger on the fuel port. Sorry for I reacted so late, because I'm actually not actively working on AARS anymore, so please understand me. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you turn off autopilot after you click the "Active" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin_Maclure Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I did notice an odd situation with this mod. When the plane is on the tarmac and you toggle the refueling probe, when it recesses back the plane unexpectedly and suddenly jumps off the ground. I can attest, as I have tested this, that this situation really only occurs when toggling the refueling probe to retract again.

Sgt Doomball Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 There seems to be a problem with the a 10 refuel port. It does not attach to the point on the cockpit it is just a surface attachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlemaster1994 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hello Guys. I just love the refuel abillity in KSP. It realy makes Flying purposefull and verry fun to do. But the succes I have had in 1.2.2 with refueling seem to just not work at all in 1.3. When i have a plane set up to fly close to the tanker and the boom or droge is deployed, aswell as my other plane its fuel port and the tanker is set up as a target i switch my probe to active, and the plane starts to go towards the droge or boom, but it seems to not be able to connect to it. also with the boom the plane stays under the boom aporx 3/5 meters. when i use the probe it will connect after a long and painfull struggle to get to the probe ( verry slow speed differance) it will touch it and deactivate again. I can't figure out what is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
