Thank you for the nice response.  Not what I expected.  All the way back in March.  F/A-18 Wish List Aerial refueling issue.  I finally responded but never heard back from you.  I kept asking you why you leveled the criticism at me.  The one that bothered me most I did not explain.  I typed a paragraph saying that ED has done as good as it can in aerial refueling but can only work with the visual end.  No one that I know of wants to make the visual less realistic. The feeling of the plane moving is not available for programming.    This is why it is so difficult to learn in DCS.  I believe I got this from one of Wags guides.  You pulled the sentence from the paragraph dealing with perceiving the plane moving and I remember you typed something about using that as an excuse for not learning aerial refueling.  The thing that got me was I was on your side of the fence.  Granted I suggested a training campaign for teaching aerial refueling only because I wanted to suggest something that might help.   

Okay, I found it again.

Apologies for not responding to you at the time, but I felt it wasn't helpful to respond. We had both typed enough by my judgment.

"I kept asking you why you leveled the criticism at me." The answer which I probably should have mentioned was that I hadn't chosen you specifically to respond to. It's just at this point there were about 4 threads on the same topic (Auto AAR), with the same points being cycled repeatedly by each side. And at that point, when you posted, you were the most recent person to give what I thought were the same arguments again. So it just so happens I quoted you over anybody else really... but I didn't mean anything malicious by it.

"You pulled the sentence from the paragraph dealing with perceiving the plane moving and I remember you typed something about using that as an excuse for not learning aerial refueling."

I still think that's true. You and I can both AAR in DCS and neither of our seats move. So it can't be that big of a barrier, especially when we both agree that the major hurdle is time and commitment.

Thank you for this.  And you are right.  We had said enough.  I still wondered what was going on.  Your answer makes sense.  And you are right about the seat moving.  I was only trying to point out that ED has no way to program the feeling of movement and is stuck with the visual meaning this is as good as it is going to get.
