Here are some small things I do when refueling, I usually can do it in 1 to 3 connects. watch the tanker and not the boom, first time I stopped watching the boom and just kept my plane in the same spot in relation to the tanker I got it in one try. Also remember once you get trimmed in if you speed up you will also pitch up and if you speed down you will also pitch down, try to anticipate those factors to keep your plane level. For example if you slowing down you will not only move back from the tanker but also down, and vice versa if you speed up. good luck and stay at it, you will get it eventually. Also that was some nice flying by the way, thanks for the videos!

Thank you for the clarification, its much appreciated :)

on page 46 of the manual it states "The stability augmentation system (SAS) channels provide pitch rate dampening for better tracking and dampening pitch when the speed brakes are deployed." To me this reads you should have better (read finer) control of pitch once speed brakes are deployed. But it does not state if just opening your speed break just a little will provide this or if it needs to be fully open. I'm asking this question to see if their is possibly an advantage when air-to-air refueling if you open your brakes slightly to help control your pitch while connecting to tanker. Hey every little bit helps as its already tough enough to top the tanks off.

ah yes hence why you have to use the buttons in dx mode otherwise they will get stuck. Ive been using this setup for quite awhile and never had any problems with stuck keys. works every time. shift plus trigger starts my pac and the second I unshift while still holding trigger down, guns fire. quick edit: the button on the trottle still fuctions as a normal shift button for all other commands :)

hehe, hey now the club penguin is for the kid (I swear it is).

I will let the pictures do the talking. all you have to do is bind the buttons in game as they are dx buttons. and hold shift plus trigger for pac1 and let go of shift for guns. credit goes to ruggbutt and bob church for figuring this one out at the CH camp. and you can have whatever button you would like to use as shift if you wish. cheers.

thats a negative :cry: hece why I posted track and question, I could not find much info on how much I can hold doing air to air refuel vs. ground refuel (if thier is any). and I did stay "latched" long enough to top the tanks off I'm sure.

Hello, I was doing some practice refueling and I noticed that the tanks stopped filling at 4,000 lbs, I was wondering if this was normal or if it should stop at 4,500 lbs. I attached a track that shows this as their was no "done refueling" option for the tanker, just abort. I also checked that the disable refuel buttons were proper (I think). attached is a track. Thanks. refuel stops 4000lbs.trk

Heh thanks for this one! been fighting that radio for over a day now scratching my head, now i just feel :doh:

Yes on the bottom of the lua file ColorAliesSide = {255, 0, 0} ColorEnemiesSide = {0, 0, 255} to: ColorAliesSide = {255, 0, 0} ColorEnemiesSide = {255, 0, 0} all red (havent tested this but it should work).
