ARINFO line and 5REFUEL block DCS World Mission Editing
Last updated: May 16, 2025

When an air refueling is planned for the mission you can set it in the flight plan by placing a waypoint close to the tanker’s orbit/AAR area and setting its name to the same name of the tanker’s waypoint. To calculate the correct air refueling time in the flight plan you just need to set the Duration in the waypoint action Refueling. This will show the ARINFO and REFTSK lines for the mission and will add the mission to the tanker’s 5REFUEL block.

Note: As tanker’s frequency is very important to request the air refueling it has to be set in DCS mission editor and can not be modified in AOC Tools Comm Plan.
