I know I have read about this effect a couple years back and it always causes this. That is why I open the door, then trim out, then approach.

Sounds like you're approaching the tanker with Master Arm & Gun/PAC Arm still set. Both should be set to safe and you should be fenced out before you are approaching the tanker.

 

As soon as you open the refuelling door EAC is disabled, which of course disables PAC which will cause the pitch up.

I wonder how hard it would be to modify the tanker pre contact call to include the "Noses Cold, Switches Safe" verbiage?

From a programmer's point of view, it can't be that difficult.

 

But seriously, it should be self-evident to approach a tanker with all weapon systems safe; if the tanker had to tell pilots something like "Oh, and please don't accidentally blow me out of the sky", the pilots shouldn't be there in the first place.

 

Yes, this is common in DCS and it happened to me several times, but I learned from my mistakes.

 

If DCS was built in a way that it expected us to be as stupid as we often are, we wouldn't even be allowed anywhere near those planes.

 

TL;DR: If we don't know how to correctly approach a tanker, why would this piece of information make it any better?
