On demand Tankers

[daviddcs]

• The ability to spawn(trigger start) tankers on demand allows you to time tanker on station time to when the flight expects to arrive for tanking.
• The ability to move tankers between different pre-defined tracks. (allows for moving KC135's between suitable for hogs and vipers.
• Adds a factor of planning, to include tanker fuel.
• Would be nice with tanker fuel state being sent to a single unit on an airfield, that a 176th member can "man" using combined arms, allowing him to receive periodic messages about fuel states on AI assets (AEW and Tankers)

those would be possible from a scripting pov, and I'd be interested in taking this on. What I need is a detailed plan on the design, and get it approved by Neck. once that design plan is in place, Id be happy to work on the technical implementation

Also @132nd-Entropy will it be possible for the tankers to follow corridors? (also for egress)?

To avoid them going somewhere we do not want them?

@daviddcs this is a great idea, and I plan on making different tanker tracks, and having options to spawn them based on what is needed (Pending if that is possible from a scripting point of view @132nd-Entropy )

[132nd-Entropy]

should be possible :)
