It all depends on the receiver(s). The amount may be a little more or less situation dependent. Larger receivers determine their quantity

I can only speak for probe and drouge refueling. The tanker can set a predetermined fuel off-load quantity.

Fuel pump. The pod receives power from the aircrafts electrical system

Athough OSB 19 is blank in AG mode it will still create a T-pod markpoint. Similar situation as the 'slave' osb on the t-pod mfd

Here is a pic I took from the contact position. You can barely see the U/D indicator centered. IMHO it’s easier to see in the sim than irl. The PDLs are just a backup. The sight picture for specific features is the real deal. Right now vr isn’t good enough for that.... Its easier to see them at night and helps when visual acuity is low
