[Part] [Need Modelers, Unity Importers] KMWP (Kerbal Military Weapons Project)

[JazeEyed]

Hello fellow Kerbonaughts!

I am very interested in aviation and love military applications with aircraft, and love this game because it allows me to create and replicate things that I've wanted to do since I was a child.

However, the one thing I haven't managed to achieve yet is air to air refuelling. Granted, it is possible, but time consuming and rather boring.

So I decided to set out to make a mod! Air to air refuelling mod!

I've had this in mind for a long while now, however due to not having a functioning computer I have not been able to do any of the making for this mod, and this is where I need your help!

Modellers, Unity Importers, .cfg file writers, I need you all! I would love to make this mod a reality and I'm sure there are others who would appreciate it as well!

So, what ideas are there currently?

- Probe Drogue Refuelling System;

As you can see here, there are two main parts, the probe, which sits aerodynamically flush until needed, which then when refuelling commences extends out to meet the 'bucket' or drogue, and the drogue, which extends out and meets the probe.

I would like to have both these parts animated and working, and can share the little information I know;

In the .cfg, under the line "nodeType = size1" the 'size1' part doesn't actually mean size, but size1 is a type, and will only connect to other docking ports with "nodeType = size1"; therefore if the docking nodes on the probe&drogue hade the line "nodeType = airrefuel" they would only connect to eachother.

Also, for the drogue, no wire is needed to be modelled, this is intended to be used with KAS (with permission, of course).

Future plans?

- Boom stick refuelling (

- Some sort of angled landing gear? Aerodynamically flush when retracted (http://imgur.com/HLTdIHk)

Please, if you like this idea or anything about this mod, please show support, and if you would like to help please comment or drop me a PM!

Thank you for your time!
