How to get the refueling system?

[funkyfranky]

I noticed that we have an enumerator for the refueling system of a unit https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_Class_Unit

 

Unit.RefuelingSystem = {
 BOOM_AND_RECEPTACLE,
 PROBE_AND_DROGUE
}

 

But I'm lost as to how I can extract the the information whether a given unit has this attribute?

Unit.getDesc().tankerType

 

0 is boom

1 is probe

Wonderful, thanks :thumbup:

Well, looks like a couple of units - in particular most tankers - don't have the "tankerType" entry:

• KC-130 (RAZBAM)
  
• KC-135BDA (RAZBAM)
  
• KC-135MPRS (RAZBAM)
  
• S-3B Viking tanker (ED)
  
• Il-74M (ED)
  

 

My aim is to figure out, if in general a donor is compatible with an acceptor. But for that I need to know the refueling system of both. Only knowing the type of either acceptor or donor is unfortunately useless. The only tanker which has the type given seems to be the KC-135 by ED.
