Models info
----------------------------------
There are 3 models included in this package:
1. Default: This is the model with fully animated refuling boom.

The two other models do not have refueling boom animation and are mainly inteded for AI planes or multiplayer, so you can simulate air refueling.

2. Wingtip Drogues: This model has two refueling drogues extended from wingtip positions. 
3. Center Drogue: This model has refueling boom extended and drogue attached.

Traffic folder
----------------------------------
I have included a traffic file (for FS2004 only) with three C-135FR flightplans. All flights are from Marseille/Provence (LFML) to LeBourget (LFPB):

1. Default C-135FR model      departs at 12:00 GMT
2. Model with Wingtip Drogues departs at 13:00 GMT
3. Model with Center Drogue   departs at 14:00 GMT

and then fly back at:

1. Default C-135FR model     : 17:00 GMT
2. Model with Wingtip Drogues: 18:00 GMT
3. Model with Center Drogue  : 19:00 GMT

All flights are present at 1% Traffic Density setting or more and fly at FL160.

To INSTALL this flightplans, copy "Traffic_c135fr.bgl" from "...FS9/Aircraft/c135fr/Traffic" folder to "...FS9/Scenery/World/Scenery" folder and restart Flight Simulator if necesarry.

Then you can follow this AI planes and with model 2. and 3. simulate air refueling. Remember to turn Detect Collisions setting to OFF. 
Very good Mirage planes, some with refueling probe, can be found at: http://www.mirage4fs.com/
