159th_Spetz Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 In previous versions of Lock on, it was scripted, get close enough and the autopilot takes over. This was changed in (correct me if I'm wrong) 1.12. You have to do everything manually now, ie. altitude, speed, etc. It takes practice and patience, but it works. Also try setting the speed of the refueler at at least 600Kph, makes it much easier to connect to a fast tanker than a slower one. Hope this helps.
Ardillita Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Yes , this is sth "new" in 1.12, there is no autopilot now, you have to mantenin lock to the basket manually. In the other hand, It seems a little faster the refuelling now, is that correct or just my impresion?

Setting your autothrottle at least 5 or so kph faster is recommended and your target altitude is generally 2 meters below the altitude of the tanker that should help as well. I will admit... I just reinstalled LOMAC up to 1.12a so I have got my feet "wet" slightly by shaking what was admittedly a light coat of rust with some low-level work and VFR landing, but haven't yet got around to air-to-air refuelling, so I'll have to see... But the above should help anyways even if it's not scripted. Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

EricJ Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Well I guess I put my foot in my mouth.. sorta. It's been a long time since I did refuelling, but what the hey.... http://562.50megs.com/LOMAC/Files/refue.rar Lock On 1.12a Looks like you have to match the speed of the tanker at the last second, but like I said, I'm a bit rusty :D Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

Kenan Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 You have to do everything manually now, ie. altitude, speed, etc. Not exactly, at least in my case. I set the altitude hold once I'm few meters below the tanker, and do the refuelling by just correcting speed.

Corsair7662 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 i really hate the autopilot during refueling because the AP is trying to pitch down and ur pitching up...its really annoying because you cant just sit there and fly level.
