Its vewry vewry quiet here, said Elmer Fudd, I will have to get the thread moving again. 
The Vulcan is now on the DLS, the Hurricanes and the updated Spitfires are finished, will upload them soon. The flareing for landing is controlled by the B key and have the propeller animation transition I mentioned before.
I have nearly finished a KC-135 refuelling tanker, and it works with the FA-18s. The picture shows it coupled to the KC-135. No it does not actually transfer avgas, not possible between traincar models. Yes I know the wheels are down, I was flying a bit slowly to frame the shot before the trigger retracted the probe. :wave:
The KC-135 operates on the same track as other aircraft. It deploys a refuelling probe to couple with the FA-18 fighters for simulated refueling.
Using the B key or Action Trigger setting 2 or 10, the tanker lifts above the track by 7 metres and deploys the probe. The FA-18 approaches from the rear and couples with the probe at its own refuelling probe. After you decouple the FA-18, the aircraft operate separately again.
A second trigger further along the track retracts the probe, and lowers the KC-135 back down to normal track level. It is really very easy to creep up on the tanker and join with the probe.
The FA-18 deploys its refuelling probe for 25 second then puts it away again, using the trigger setting 10 for activation. At the minute, I have made the KC-135 also use the B key, so you could correct any out of sequence deployment, if you forgot to set a trigger. You need to understand, when they are coupled together, any key or trigger action activates animation on both aircraft, the B key fires missiles on the FA-18, so you could shoot down the tanker I guess.
I have not looked at the A-10, it also deploys a refueling probe, but probably does not line up with the tanker, coupling depends on the placement of limpoints in the models.
What do you think of this one?
