Don't see the point Cali (btw, the second paragraph is addressed "to whom it may concern").

 

If the thought of having an assist for AAR is so scary to so many people, lemme ask this: Is it worse than people just ticking in the infinite fuel box instead, because it's a question of behaving like a child and neglecting real life for the sake of a computer game (this is not intended as an insult. It is a common fact that some people due to different lives simply don't have as much time as others to spend sitting in front of a computer) to learn AAR, or going back to base every twentieth minute to refuel?

 

Has anyone who's so violently against this ever thought of how people may become very reluctant to buy certain upcoming modules? There's relatively many A-10C level fast movers in the tubes, that will rely on AAR for longer missions. It'd be naïve to assume that everyone will "support buy" them, especially when they've bought their first fast mover and given up on it because they either spend very little time airborne, or tick in the infinite fuel box.

I'm not against this because I really don't care and the servers I would normally fly on wouldn't use easy settings anyway. Yes, the second para is address to anyone, also the first one is too, it's not just addressed to you.

A2A refueling is unnecessary difficult because of how boom operator behaves now. Pilot is supposed to get into position within boom operational limits and be there while boom operator steers the boom. In DCS it feels like there are boom operation limits and separate limits for AI operator. :) You know those moments when boom moves but kinda looks numb despite you are within good range and altitude.

I had problems with refuelling up to tonight...than everthing clicked in place, and suddenly i can connect and reconnect and hold it latched for more than 10 seconds...the correct way for me is... Dont look on hud, dont read the speed, dont try to controll flight path marker...just keep the part of the boom where boom wings are attached to it, in upper part of canopy above hud and below front canopy frame. Watch the colors on the boom, try to see the green part and keep position so you see wings of the boom a little below canopy frame above hud. Dont chase fuel recepticle, operator will connect when you keep proper position. rince and repeat..sorry for too black picture. I almost gave up refuelling, but this is a game changer ac40e52ec62134009f50aa301882db32.jpg

I can't think of any reason there can't be an Assist for Refueling.

If you don't want to use it, don't. The Admin on any MultiPlayer Server could probably turn Easy Refueling off anyway so it would pretty much just make peoples Single Player time more enjoyable. Would be good for them learning too.

Why the F not? Theres no reason whatsoever to not have it (aside from the minimal work it would take?).

 

Other then the showcase of elitism here of course. =)
