Apparently Mirage can be refueled on a refueling boom as well

That is hilarious. :thumbup:

LOL, i'm happy if i can manage a couple of seconds of contact with the basket but you are refueling with the boom!!!! :megalol: :joystick: :pilotfly: CRAZY! :D

It's not that hard : /

Rlaxoxo you're becoming the refueling king ;)

[SkateZilla]

AFAIK, this is an ED Issue,

 

As the F-18C AI will also refuel from KC135

I wish it would only translate into a somewhat of a useful RL skill tho lol

Yesterday on the VA server I saw a F-15 refueling off an Il-76. It seems DCS doesn't care about the refueling method right now, only that the boom or basket connect to the receptacle on the plane.

This is basically because it is a simulation and not real life.

 

The 3D models are not solid, so instead ED uses collision boxes to determine model interaction. In this case at the end of the boom or basket is an invisible collision box. At the end of the refueling point, there is another collision box. When both boxes meet, they are considered connected and fuel can be transferred.

 

Limiting the interaction by adding a type check is doable but not urgent and there are other issues that have priority over this.

I actually quite like the idea

 

Makes the sim more fun

Same in BMS for refueling the Mirages, boom on boom action, no baskets.

We need that ^^
