ScopeDope Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Can I get a quick critique on this AAR track, is it bugged or do I just really suck at it? I have occasional success making contact, starting to take fuel, but I usually fall off the back of the boom, only to be stabbed in the face the next time I try to hook up. It's making practicing kind of discouraging... P.S. we need a KC-135 module so players can play boom operator mini-game :DAR fail.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra99 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The Boom Operator doesn't hate you...the Boom Pod got cold soaked between Takeoff and AR and his feet are cold.

StandingCow Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The boom has been acting weird for the last few patches, I think the extension part became collide-able.... it often will bump your plane downward. Maybe I have been trying to refuel too high up. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) The rumour I heard is the boom operator is a failed fighter pilot (no hand eye co-ordination apparently) and feels like he is now doing a second rate job. He basically has it in for all pilots and goes out of his way to make life difficult for em :joystick: Try not to take it too personally :D Edited August 30, 2016 by bart System :- i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12 core, ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming, 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz, 24GB Asus ROG Strix Geforce RTX 3090, 1x 500GB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, 1x 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, Corsair 1000W RMx Series Modular 80 Plus Gold PSU, Windows 10.

drsgfire Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 As of last patch the boom does not work when the aircraft is in any kind of a bank now. No matter how small. When the plane levels out the boom works. I've done refueling in the F-15 and the A-10 to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocket Sized Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The problem is the boom defaults to the center position when you get out of tolerance. This includes if you get too close. If you are too high or too far forward he will center the boom, stabbing it into your plane in the process. (Usually resulting in instant death or severe damage) DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.

USSInchon Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Don't take it personally the Boom Operator hates everyone, deeply, and with a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG-51_Razor Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I wonder how much longer the US Air Force, the only military service in the world to use a system whereby the pilot has to submit to being poked while holding formation, will continue to force it's pilots to submit to such humiliation?!!! :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
