flywlyx Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Automated Aerial Refueling System Original made by: Kerbal Battle Field & Icecovery Studio Automated Aerial Refueling System (AARS) provides a set of military airforce equipment used for aerial refueling. This mod has plugins that can allow users to automatically connect two aircraft in the atmosphere for refueling and you only need to click one button!!! (And it supports FAR)It also has parts so users can build aerial refueling aircraft themselves. The mod is under development of two modding teams named Kerbal Battle Field and Icecovery Studio, members of which are all from China. The current version has been complete, so it isn't in WIP mode now. How to use? Before use, you need to ensure your aircraft can fly properly, it is best to let it be BDA ’s AI drive properly.And They have a probe and a drogue are respectively installed(Or boom and fuel port). First, Let the two aircraft approach and maintain a relatively low relative velocity(You can use BDA ’s Wing Command). Second, expand drogue or drop the boom.If you are using fuel port ,open its cover. Then, Set the aerial refueling aircraft as the target. Next, click the “Active” button on probe or fuel port.If you are using BDA’s Wing Command, Now shut down AI pilots. Next, your aircraft will automatically approach the drogue or boom(You may need to manually adjust the attitude of the aircraft to make it easier to docking). When the docking, it will automatically start the transmission of Liquid Fuel.When your aircraft's fuel tank is full, it will automatically unlock. NOTE: If you move too fast after docking, the probe or boom will unlock, but it will still try to docking.* Our members: (Alphabetical by name) Models: Icecovery Unfold UV: Icecovery, Kernowden Kerbin Textures: Icecovery Import: flywlyx, Icecovery, Kernowden Kerbin Plugins:flywlyx, Icecovery Configs: flywlyx, Icecovery, Kernowden Kerbin Technical Support: Acea, flywlyx, ladeng Debug: All of us above and hyx5020 Recommends : BDAc, maybe you need it to make your plane in formation or go near the aerial refueling aircraft.

HB Stratos Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Will this mod ever be updated to 1.8 or 1.9? in 1.8 all parts still load, but the code that activates when the plane is told to autonomously dock does not work anymore. @flywlyx I hope you don't mind me pinging you as the thread OP here.

ZI_YX Posted Saturday at 11:30 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:30 PM Regarding the issue of Simplified Chinese localization. I have completed the Chinese localization for AARS. If you see this, could you please add my localization files to the update? https://github.com/Icecovery/Automated-Aerial-Refueling-System/issues/3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
