That was the fix. I didn't know that the "2" next to the "RF" in the lower left of the HUD designated which refueling station you would be using. It defaults to "2" which is the center drogue. Like the others have said, I had to use the "~" key to cycle thru which one I wanted to use.

Thanks, guys. That got it. These forums have been absolutely invaluable. I appreciate it!

I don't but I will. Give me a few hours and I should be able to get some up and running. Chances are its just something stupid that I'm doing.

When refueling from the IL-78M, can you refuel from the wing drogues or only the center drogue? The wing drogues just clip thru my airplane, but the center one seems to work normally. A fella from another forum says he routinely uses the wing drogues like normal. Whenever I try to use them, they just clip through my airplane. What does one have to do to use the wing drogues? To be sure, I can connect and hold with the center drogue 100% of the time, so its not a pilot error. Does it maybe correspond to what number you are in your flight? i.e. flight leader takes center station, wingmen take wing positions? Thanks for your help.
