Refuel Scripting research

[FG28_Kodiak]

As 41Sqn_Banks says there is no way to set parameters for a plane via script. So the only way to simulate RRR is to create a new plane and place the player in it.

I've made a example, it's not complete (i will never finished it, no fan of "RRR" ) but may be it shows the direction to go.

The script copy player plane with "CreateNewPlaneAtAirfield" (this part is not complete at the moment it only copy the Airgroup, PlaneType and uses the AirfieldLocation) after a countdown then places the player in the new one and Destroy the old one.
