Air Refuelling (AAR) Practise V0.01
FOR IKAROS THEATER v4.0.0
TE created by “hoover”Practise AAR (air to air refuelling) around the beautiful island of Crete in the south-eastern Mediterranean. You’ll be flying out of Souda AB “Giannis Daskalogiannis” (LGSA) or feel free to add new SQNs to an airbase of your choice.
Two Tanker tracks are available:
-
Camel 1 (KC-10, 29Y) tracking east <-> west (40nm) along the northern coast from Rethymno to Iraklio
-
Canteen 1 (KC-135, 63Y) tracking south-west <-> north-east (50nm) from around Gavdos island to Kasteli
You’re likely to encounter quite a bit of traffic around the tankers, so be prepared to fly formation until the AI units are done with their refuelling runs.
A live firing range has been designated on the island east of the 26th parallel in the Sitia area. Valid targets are
- Sitia airport
- Wind park
- Radar station
Some ground units have been reported in the area (in a defensive stance mostly), so make sure to not drop too low or you’ll become a juicy target to MANPAD and SHORAD units (or simply avoid the area altogether)
Weather is mostly cloudy but fair (using the provided “fair” fmap)
A CVN group (“Vinson”) is also available if you’d like to practise AAR in the F/A-18.
Please let me know if you come across any problems! (“hoover” on the BMS forum)
Thanks to the BMS devteam and of course the IKAROS creators for their tireless & awesome work on this theater.

Awesome initiative brother Hoover.
I will give it a spin.
I’m too lazy…err, busy these days, to make any of these myself.

Thanks guys, I hope to revive my “Battle for Karpathos” soon that I created for Aegean a couple of years ago. This TE works nicely as a testbed for now, I hope the pathing on the islands is correct so ground units won’t travel through water or get stuck on their ways to their objectives.
All the best,
Uwe
