How to simulate aerial refueling

[liang.hong-zhao]

If you want to simulate the real refueling process in the air, how should the physical properties of the refueling tube be simulated?

Do you use a Rope Body or RagDoll Body?

You can experiment with both approaches and select that fit your needs best.

Another option is to use simply a MeshSkinned object with bones in order to get more precise controls on the hose animation.

您可以尝试这两种方法并选择最适合您需求的方法。

另一种选择是仅使用带有骨骼的 MeshSkinned 对象，以便对软管动画进行更精确的控制。

Which method is more suitable?

How do you make a Rope Boby inelastic?

HI!
for your case you need to apply some parameters:

1. Increase number of iterations (10-20)

2. change Linear Stretch of BodyRope

I tried to reduce the value of LStretch, but the model would be too short.

No matter how I set it up, it looks like a rubber band.
