Examples#

Set the Configuration used for the Mission

# Mission mission: Aviator Mission object
# Get the configuration used for the mission
configuration = mission.configuration
# Set the max landing weight
configuration.max_landing_weight = 300000
# Set the empty weight
configuration.empty_weight = 210000
# Update the center of gravity of the aircraft when empty
configuration.set_empty_cg(2, 0, 1)

# Get the stations
stations = configuration.get_stations()
# Check if there is an internal fuel station
if stations.contains_station("Internal Fuel") is True:
    # Get the fuel tank
    fuelTank = stations.get_internal_fuel_tank_by_name("Internal Fuel")
    # Set the capacity of the fuel tank
    fuelTank.capacity = 175000
    # Set the initial state of the fuel tank
    fuelTank.initial_fuel_state = 125000

# Add a new payload station
newPayload = stations.add_payload_station()
# Set the position of the payload station
newPayload.set_position(0, 2, 0)
# Add an external fuel tank
externalTank = newPayload.add_external_fuel_tank()
# Set the empty weight of the tank
externalTank.empty_weight = 2000
