Dassault Etendard IVP
Wait for it plz...`
Quick history :
The Etendard IVP was the reconnaissance/tanker version of the Etendard IVM naval attacker.
ollielebananiaCFSP made an Etendard IVM a while ago so I decided to turn it into a IVP and put my flight refueling system on it.
So, you guys can consider it as a collab.
I really enjoyed working on this, except for the drogue part that kept exploding mid-air :/
Also don't play it on low physics
And use 'Realtime' reflections for better effect
My entry for @FireFast212's In-Flight Refueling Challenge!
Controls :
AG2 : folding wings
AG3 : hook
AG4 : airbrakes
AG5 : refueling drogue
AG6 : when AG5 on, stabilize drogue; when off, jettison tanks
AG7 : YEET SEAT
AG8 : lights
Half the credit goes to my homie ollielebananiaCFSP (go check him out he's awesome :) )
Featuring
The most complex and realistic flight refueling probe and drogue ever on SimplePlanes !
The probe is the standard NATO refueling probe, 1:1 scaled, you'll never find a better one (I took all the measurements on the probe of a Mirage IVP strategic bomber). It is fully functional and opens only when you put it in a drogue.
The drogue was made after the probe and features all the characteristics it is supposed to have (basket, drogue, pod, etc.)
Also featuring a working sling, that will detach automatically when the plane leaves the catapult of the Beast.
Surely the only sling on this website.
Edit : This build is ranked 5th in the challenge. Yay.

@ws congrats to @ollielebananiaCFSP. I only made the buddy-to-buddy refueling system and the mods from IVM to IVP
this is in my opinion one of the most balanced planes that I have ever tried, good job.
@WiiMini yeah, also caused a mini drama because it didn't get the grade it deserved in an unfair challenge
holy frick, this is awesome

@RicardoAs1515 thx for the spotlight man
@WarHawk95 ah I see very nice build
@GeneralGeneraltheKenobi thanks. The plane itself was originally made by ollielebananiaCFSP :)
Best etendard on the site in my opinion
You are invited to participate in the 1st Jetfighter Challenge! Your creations have the level to participate, please take a look. Thank you
@WarHawk95 but is that the AI move a lot >:,V
@PatriARG well, it's not so complicated !
@WarHawk95 I learned it the hard way jeje, I'm spending 4 neurons to see how I can do to put an AI and that automatically when it appears, her release the drogue, activate the magnet and see if I reach it.
@WarHawk95 Either way, the drogue explodes when returned to the pod :v
@PatriARG yeah, these probe and drogue were not designed to work with the mod
@WarHawk95 nor with the refuel mod made by "Gestour"
@PatriARG what do you mean ? You can't manage to plug in the drogue ?
@WarHawk95 ok it's just the wish to be precise enough to send a small part of the plane to the drogue
@WarHawk95
yes
@AmongUsIsAGame don't you mean the last 3 comments ?
Wtf is this ungodly comment section
@WarHawk95 yes.
@WarHawk95 yes.
@KnightOfRen no.
New controls
AG2: YEET WINGS
AG3: YEET HOOK
AG4: YEET BRAKES
AG5: YEET DROGUE
AG6: YEET TANKS
AG7: YEET SEAT
what happens when you do the same thing you did to the eject seat to the other controls
@KnightOfRen Roger.
I confirm that I put "yeet seat" to refer to the pilot ejection system or ejection seat in the description of this aircraft.
