I am pleased to report that the engine response when performing AAR is now consistent again (at least for me). The update is very good (and very necessary, as I say, at least for me). Thank you all very much for your responses and comments. Regards.

Thank you all for the responses and participation, but I wouldn't want this thread to become a debate, that is not the intention. I'll start from scratch with the f4 and the aar, there is no other way.

Of course, the sensations cannot be simulated (they can be approximated in professional cockpit simulators, but they are always approximate, never real), the depth if you use VR helps, in my case I use a 2d panel (monitor) so for that matter it doesn't help much either, but I'm used to it, as I mentioned to my colleague, I spend many hours in front of the monitor and as they say: customs become laws. And as you say, simulating the sensation of the lever and the friction in the throttle of the real plane is complicated in each one's home.

What I find funny is this type of comment when you don't have all the data, let me explain: In my case I have more than 5000 hours of virtual flight in DCS, more than 3000 in Falcon BMS (in all its variants since it was just Falcon 4) and aerial refueling is one of the things I like to do most in a flight simulator, if not the most, in fact, it is the first thing I start to master when I acquire a module with AAR capacity, because I really like doing missions that involve one or more aerial refuelings, since that does bring it closer to reality in the simulation, so I think that is not precisely the problem in my case. I am 52 years old and I am everything, but not an impatient child. The AAR is difficult in all aspects and in all situations, not only in DCS. My advice would be that before you want to connect, you spend some time flying in formation trying to maintain a more or less stable position. After that, once you have mastered this, refueling will only be based on acquiring the position to connect and then forgetting that you are hooked and flying in formation with the tanker.

If so, your method is just as valid as any other if it helps you refuel properly. I use the director's lights as my guide and so far it has always worked very well for me. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the answers and understanding, but if, as you say, the behavior is now more "realistic", I don't understand how in conflicts the tanker planes could tow hooked to the damaged F4 booms for hours, if I can't even stay there for more than 30 seconds hooked and not stable at all. My most sincere recognition to all those who say that now they find it easier, that particularly frustrates me more, so aerial refueling will be one of the things that I will no longer do with the f4, I prefer to have fun simulating with it than to enter a spiral of frustration.

Good afternoon, and I apologize in advance if what I'm saying is nonsense since it could always be my problem, but the fact is that after the update, I'm having a hard time, bordering on the impossible, with something that I already had more than controlled, which is refueling. aerial, the new sensations that I feel now are, for example, the lack of response of the engine when making a correction once engaged, it takes a very long time (compared to before the update) to respond, with the consequent loss of position and disengagement, as well as lack retention, that is, when I get it to move forward, it takes a long time to "stop" and maintain, so again it goes out of position and disengages, as I say, before the update it had no problem, towards a full three-tank refueling , suffering one or two maximum and brief disconnections, now it is an odyssey to try to refuel and maintain. As I say, it could perfectly be my thing, but it's curious that before the update I didn't have these problems. Has this happened to anyone else?..... Thank you and as I say, sorry in advance if what I've stated is nonsense. greetings

I must read more ... thank you very much.
