Wait for it plz...`
Quick history :
The Etendard IVP was the reconnaissance/tanker version of the Etendard IVM naval attacker.
ollielebananiaCFSP made an Etendard IVM a while ago so I decided to turn it into a IVP and put my flight refueling system on it.
So, you guys can consider it as a collab.
I really enjoyed working on this, except for the drogue part that kept exploding mid-air :/
Also don't play it on low physics
And use 'Realtime' reflections for better effect
My entry for @FireFast212's In-Flight Refueling Challenge!
Controls :
AG2 : folding wings
AG3 : hook
AG4 : airbrakes
AG5 : refueling drogue
AG6 : when AG5 on, stabilize drogue; when off, jettison tanks
AG7 : YEET SEAT
AG8 : lights
Half the credit goes to my homie ollielebananiaCFSP (go check him out he's awesome :) )
Featuring
The most complex and realistic flight refueling probe and drogue ever on SimplePlanes !
The probe is the standard NATO refueling probe, 1:1 scaled, you'll never find a better one (I took all the measurements on the probe of a Mirage IVP strategic bomber). It is fully functional and opens only when you put it in a drogue.
The drogue was made after the probe and features all the characteristics it is supposed to have (basket, drogue, pod, etc.)
Also featuring a working sling, that will detach automatically when the plane leaves the catapult of the Beast.
Surely the only sling on this website.
Edit : This build is ranked 5th in the challenge. Yay.

@ws congrats to @ollielebananiaCFSP. I only made the buddy-to-buddy refueling system and the mods from IVM to IVP
this is in my opinion one of the most balanced planes that I have ever tried, good job.
@WiiMini yeah, also caused a mini drama because it didn't get the grade it deserved in an unfair challenge
holy frick, this is awesome

@RicardoAs1515 thx for the spotlight man
@GeneralGeneraltheKenobi thanks. The plane itself was originally made by ollielebananiaCFSP :)
You are invited to participate in the 1st Jetfighter Challenge! Your creations have the level to participate, please take a look. Thank you
@WarHawk95 but is that the AI move a lot >:,V
@PatriARG well, it's not so complicated !
@WarHawk95 I learned it the hard way jeje, I'm spending 4 neurons to see how I can do to put an AI and that automatically when it appears, her release the drogue, activate the magnet and see if I reach it.
@WarHawk95 Either way, the drogue explodes when returned to the pod :v
@PatriARG yeah, these probe and drogue were not designed to work with the mod
@WarHawk95 nor with the refuel mod made by "Gestour"
@PatriARG what do you mean ? You can't manage to plug in the drogue ?
@WarHawk95 ok it's just the wish to be precise enough to send a small part of the plane to the drogue
@WarHawk95
yes
@AmongUsIsAGame don't you mean the last 3 comments ?
Wtf is this ungodly comment section
@WarHawk95 yes.
@WarHawk95 yes.
@KnightOfRen no.
New controls
AG2: YEET WINGS
AG3: YEET HOOK
AG4: YEET BRAKES
AG5: YEET DROGUE
AG6: YEET TANKS
AG7: YEET SEAT
what happens when you do the same thing you did to the eject seat to the other controls
@KnightOfRen Roger.
I confirm that I put "yeet seat" to refer to the pilot ejection system or ejection seat in the description of this aircraft.
Please confirm that you put YEET SEAT in the description of your aircraft.
@PatriARG well, I could make a mod with this Étendard as an AI aircraft but you wouln't be able to refuel anyway...
