--- **Ops** - (R2.5) - Recovery tanker for carrier operations.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Tanker aircraft flying a racetrack pattern overhead an aircraft carrier.
|
|
--
|
|
-- **Main Features:**
|
|
--
|
|
-- * Regular pattern update with respect to carrier position.
|
|
-- * No restrictions regarding carrier waypoints and heading.
|
|
-- * Automatic respawning when tanker runs out of fuel for 24/7 operations.
|
|
-- * Tanker can be spawned cold or hot on the carrier or at any other airbase or directly in air.
|
|
-- * Automatic AA TACAN beacon setting.
|
|
-- * Multiple tankers at the same carrier.
|
|
-- * Multiple carriers due to object oriented approach.
|
|
-- * Finite State Machine (FSM) implementation, which allows the mission designer to hook into certain events.

-- # Recovery Tanker
|
|
--
|
|
-- A recovery tanker acts as refueling unit flying overhead an aircraft carrier in order to supply incoming flights with gas if they go "*Bingo on the Ball*".
|
|
--
|
|
-- # Simple Script
|
|
--
|
|
-- In the mission editor you have to set up a carrier unit, which will act as "mother". In the following, this unit will be named **"USS Stennis"**.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Secondly, you need to define a recovery tanker group in the mission editor and set it to **"LATE ACTIVATED"**. The name of the group we'll use is **"Texaco"**.
|
|
--
|
|
-- The basic script is very simple and consists of only two lines:
|
|
--
|
|
-- TexacoStennis=RECOVERYTANKER:New(UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), "Texaco")
|
|
-- TexacoStennis:Start()
|
|
--
|
|
-- The first line will create a new RECOVERYTANKER object and the second line starts the process.
|
|
--
|
|
-- With this setup, the tanker will be spawned on the USS Stennis with running engines. After it takes off, it will fly a position ~10 NM astern of the boat and from there start its
|
|
-- pattern. This is a counter clockwise racetrack pattern at angels 6.
|
|
--
|
|
-- A TACAN beacon will be automatically activated at channel 1Y with morse code "TKR". See below how to change this setting.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Note that the Tanker entry in the F10 radio menu will appear once the tanker is on station and not before. If you spawn the tanker cold or hot on the carrier, this will take ~10 minutes.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Also note, that currently the only carrier capable aircraft in DCS is the S-3B Viking (tanker version). If you want to use another refueling aircraft, you need to activate air spawn
|
|
-- or set a different land based airport of the map. This will be explained below.
|
|
--
|
|
-- 
|
|
--
|
|
-- The "downwind" leg of the pattern is normally used for refueling.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Once the tanker runs out of fuel itself, it will return to the carrier, respawn with full fuel and take up its pattern again.
|
|
--
|
|
-- # Options and Fine Tuning
|
|
--
|
|
-- Several parameters can be customized by the mission designer via user API functions.
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## Takeoff Type
|
|
--
|
|
-- By default, the tanker is spawned with running engines on the carrier. The mission designer has set option to set the take off type via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoff} function.
|
|
-- Or via shortcuts
|
|
--
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoffHot}(): Will set the takeoff to hot, which is also the default.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoffCold}(): Will set the takeoff type to cold, i.e. with engines off.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoffAir}(): Will set the takeoff type to air, i.e. the tanker will be spawned in air ~10 NM astern the carrier.
|
|
--
|
|
-- For example,
|
|
-- TexacoStennis=RECOVERYTANKER:New(UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), "Texaco")
|
|
-- TexacoStennis:SetTakeoffAir()
|
|
-- TexacoStennis:Start()
|
|
-- will spawn the tanker several nautical miles astern the carrier. From there it will start its pattern.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Spawning in air is not as realistic but can be useful do avoid DCS bugs and shortcomings like aircraft crashing into each other on the flight deck.
|
|
--
|
|
-- **Note** that when spawning in air is set, the tanker will also not return to the boat, once it is out of fuel. Instead it will be respawned directly in air.
|
|
--
|
|
-- If only the first spawning should happen on the carrier, one use the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetRespawnInAir}() function to command that all subsequent spawning
|
|
-- will happen in air.
|
|
--
|
|
-- If the tanker should not be respawned at all, one can set @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetRespawnOff}().
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## Pattern Parameters
|
|
--
|
|
-- The racetrack pattern parameters can be fine tuned via the following functions:
|
|
--
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetAltitude}(*altitude*), where *altitude* is the pattern altitude in feet. Default 6000 ft.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetSpeed}(*speed*), where *speed* is the pattern speed in knots. Default is 274 knots TAS which results in ~250 KIAS.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetRacetrackDistances}(*distbow*, *diststern*), where *distbow* and *diststern* are the distances ahead and astern the boat (default 10 and 4 NM), respectively.
|
|
-- In principle, these number should be more like 8 and 6 NM but since the carrier is moving, we give translate the pattern points a bit forward.
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## Home Base
|
|
--
|
|
-- The home base is the airbase where the tanker is spawned (if not in air) and where it will go once it is running out of fuel. The default home base is the carrier itself.
|
|
-- The home base can be changed via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetHomeBase}(*airbase*) function, where *airbase* can be a MOOSE @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE} object or simply the
|
|
-- name of the airbase passed as string.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Note that only the S3B Viking is a refueling aircraft that is carrier capable. You can use other tanker aircraft types, e.g. the KC-130, but in this case you must either
|
|
-- set an airport of the map as home base or activate spawning in air via @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoffAir}.
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## TACAN
|
|
--
|
|
-- A TACAN beacon for the tanker can be activated via scripting, i.e. no need to do this within the mission editor.
|
|
--
|
|
-- The beacon is create with the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTACAN}(*channel*, *morse*) function, where *channel* is the TACAN channel (a number),
|
|
-- and *morse* a three letter string that is send as morse code to identify the tanker:
|
|
--
|
|
-- TexacoStennis:SetTACAN(10, "TKR")
|
|
--
|
|
-- will activate a TACAN beacon 10Y with more code "TKR".
|
|
--
|
|
-- If you do not set a TACAN beacon explicitly, it is automatically create on channel 1Y and morse code "TKR".
|
|
-- The mode is *always* "Y" for AA TACAN stations since mode "X" does not work!
|
|
--
|
|
-- In order to completely disable the TACAN beacon, you can use the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTACANoff}() function in your script.
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## Radio
|
|
--
|
|
-- The radio frequency on optionally modulation can be set via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetRadio}(*frequency*, *modulation*) function. The first parameter denotes the radio frequency the tanker uses in MHz.
|
|
-- The second parameter is *optional* and sets the modulation to either AM (default) or FM.
|
|
--
|
|
-- For example,
|
|
--
|
|
-- TexacoStennis:SetRadio(260)
|
|
--
|
|
-- will set the frequency of the tanker to 260 MHz AM.
|
|
--
|
|
-- **Note** that if this is not set, the tanker frequency will be automatically set to **251 MHz AM**.
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## Pattern Update
|
|
--
|
|
-- The pattern of the tanker is updated if at least one of the two following conditions apply:
|
|
--
|
|
-- * The aircraft carrier changes its position by more than 5 NM (see @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetPatternUpdateDistance}) and/or
|
|
-- * The aircraft carrier changes its heading by more than 5 degrees (see @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetPatternUpdateHeading})
|
|
--
|
|
-- **Note** that updating the pattern often leads to a more or less small disruption of the perfect racetrack pattern of the tanker. This is because a new waypoint and new racetrack points
|
|
-- need to be set as DCS task. This is the reason why the pattern is not constantly updated but rather when the position or heading of the carrier changes significantly.
|
|
--
|
|
-- The maximum update frequency is set to 10 minutes. You can adjust this by @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetPatternUpdateInterval}.
|
|
-- Also the pattern will not be updated whilst the carrier is turning or the tanker is currently refueling another unit.
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## Callsign
|
|
--
|
|
-- The callsign of the tanker can be set via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetCallsign}(*callsignname*, *callsignnumber*) function. Both parameters are *numbers*.
|
|
-- The first parameter *callsignname* defines the name (1=Texaco, 2=Arco, 3=Shell). The second (optional) parameter specifies the first number and has to be between 1-9.
|
|
-- Also see [DCS_enum_callsigns](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_enum_callsigns) and [DCS_command_setCallsign](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_command_setCallsign).
|
|
--
|
|
-- TexacoStennis:SetCAllsign(CALLSIGN.Tanker.Arco)
|
|
--
|
|
-- For convenience, MOOSE has a CALLSIGN enumerator introduced.
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## AWACS
|
|
--
|
|
-- You can use the class also to have an AWACS orbiting overhead the carrier. This requires to add the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetAWACS}(*switch*, *eplrs*) function to the script, which sets the enroute tasks AWACS
|
|
-- as soon as the aircraft enters its pattern. Note that the EPLRS data link is enabled by default. To disable it, the second parameter *eplrs* must be set to *false*.
|
|
--
|
|
-- A simple script could look like this:
|
|
--
|
|
-- -- E-2D at USS Stennis spawning in air.
|
|
-- local awacsStennis=RECOVERYTANKER:New("USS Stennis", "E2D Group")
|
|
--
|
|
-- -- Custom settings:
|
|
-- awacsStennis:SetAWACS()
|
|
-- awacsStennis:SetCallsign(CALLSIGN.AWACS.Wizard, 1)
|
|
-- awacsStennis:SetTakeoffAir()
|
|
-- awacsStennis:SetAltitude(20000)
|
|
-- awacsStennis:SetRadio(262)
|
|
-- awacsStennis:SetTACAN(2, "WIZ")
|
|
--
|
|
-- -- Start AWACS.
|
|
-- awacsStennis:Start()
|
|
--
|
|
-- # Finite State Machine
|
|
--
|
|
-- The implementation uses a Finite State Machine (FSM). This allows the mission designer to hook in to certain events.
|
|
--
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.Start}: This event starts the FMS process and initialized parameters and spawns the tanker. DCS event handling is started.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.Status}: This event is called in regular intervals (~60 seconds) and checks the status of the tanker and carrier. It triggers other events if necessary.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.PatternUpdate}: This event commands the tanker to update its pattern
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.RTB}: This events sends the tanker to its home base (usually the carrier). This is called once the tanker runs low on gas.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.RefuelStart}: This event is called when a tanker starts to refuel another unit.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.RefuelStop}: This event is called when a tanker stopped to refuel another unit.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.Run}: This event is called when the tanker resumes normal operations, e.g. after refueling stopped or tanker finished refueling.
|
|
-- * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.Stop}: This event stops the FSM by unhandling DCS events.
|
|
--
|
|
-- The mission designer can capture these events by RECOVERYTANKER.OnAfter*Eventname* functions, e.g. @{#RECOVERYTANKER.OnAfterPatternUpdate}.
|
|
--
|
|
-- # Debugging
|
|
--
|
|
-- In case you have problems, it is always a good idea to have a look at your DCS log file. You find it in your "Saved Games" folder, so for example in
|
|
-- C:\Users\<yourname>\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log
|
|
-- All output concerning the @{#RECOVERYTANKER} class should have the string "RECOVERYTANKER" in the corresponding line.
|
|
-- Searching for lines that contain the string "error" or "nil" can also give you a hint what's wrong.
|
|
--
|
|
-- The verbosity of the output can be increased by adding the following lines to your script:
|
|
--
|
|
-- BASE:TraceOnOff(true)
|
|
-- BASE:TraceLevel(1)
|
|
-- BASE:TraceClass("RECOVERYTANKER")
|
|
--
|
|
-- To get even more output you can increase the trace level to 2 or even 3, c.f. @{Core.Base#BASE} for more details.
|
|
--
|
|
-- ## Debug Mode
|
|
--
|
|
-- You have the option to enable the debug mode for this class via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetDebugModeON} function.
|
|
-- If enabled, text messages about the tanker status will be displayed on screen and marks of the pattern created on the F10 map.
