Couple Newbie Questions

[saa]

1) The keycommands show that CTRL-R will refuel the a/c on the ground. I tried it stopped on both the runway and the ramp and nothing happened. CTRL-W will rearm the a/c with no problem. This was in a tutorial. Would that have anything to do with it?

 

2) I was going through an SU-25T tutorial and it showed a diamond shaped target indicator which can be cycled with the "~" key. What is this exactly? I don't have the laser rangefinder or the TV optics on. Is the target being designated by a third party similar to the Pave Penny pod on the A-10?

 

Thanks

You gotta shut down the engines.

Affirm on the third party designation.

You have to hold the buttons down to refuel, like when u dump it. If u have a HOTAS with toggles on it you could assign it to one of those, but otherwise you have to sit there holding it down for ages. Does anyone else know a way around this for people without toggleable switches?
