I am still working on this post - needed to store the data somewhere, but I need to interrupt the process.

Anecdote about a refueling problem.

 

Strictly speaking, this does not belong in this thread, because it is not a refueling issue, although it arises as a consequence of a refueling situation.

 

In EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea 1 (Big Fish), you need to fly some EH 101 Merlin helicopters from Kinloss, Scotland to some friendly ships just S of Iceland, refuel there, and then assault some US ships NW of Iceland. The Merlins have a range of 500 nm, so they can just barely make it to the refueling point. However, all the target ships are more than 250 nm from the refueling point, and these helicopters (or any helicopters) are NOT CAPABLE OF IN-FLIGHT REFUELING ! This means that the helicopters have to fly suicide missions. Fortunately, the victory conditions do not require you to recover your helicopters, just get them to the target, so it’s not a game-breaking problem, but it certainly is strange.

Yeah, its not a code based in-flight refueling issue, so your post has been moved here.

 

Meanwhile, see the Issue Tracker's # 119 here.

 

It addresses this scenario issue.

 

[btw, Vitp, the whole 'post in progress' approach to discussion isn't very useful from a forum/board perspective. If you must tackle an issue in phases, just append to the discussion rather than redoing your entire first post in the thread. People will be able to follow along and be able to comment more effectively that way. Thanks).
