razo+r Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 So i decided to get a bit more used with the mirage, so i tried to perform a standard maneuver, refuel in air Tried with a S-3b Tanker and Il-78 So i contacted the tanker, he told me to go to precontact position On precontact, i contacted him and he cleared me for contact, so i got closer when he finished rolling out the pipe for the basket, i connected to it, but before that, i flipped the fuel transfer switch to day When i made contact, he told "Contact" but then, in an infinite loop, he repeated "Return precontact. Contact...." I was always connected to the basket though... Did i miss another switch or what is happening? also, can you guys give me a tip for going to make contact with the basket? Always, when i'm a bit to high, i push my stick full forward, since the FBW IMO is reacting a bit slowly, and then i'm trying to stabilize myselfe, but instead, i'm like wobling up and down and up and so on... only if i let the stick go and make like another approach, it get's a bit better...

The Legman Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Have you opened the fuel transfer switch on the left side of the plane? Otherwise it is impossible. The rest is having FBW in Charges and practice a lot to predict the inertia of the plane. Refueling all comes to very small and gentle inputs without over corrections, and trimming. 1 DCS Discord community - https://discord.gg/U8aqzVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyq8 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Are you sure you are talking about the fuel transfer switch and not the refuelling light switch? I'm not at my computer but I can't remember the fuel transfer switch having a day setting Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

Azrayen Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 You're flipping the wrong switch. Razbam still needs to fix it fully. It's understandable to move the wrong one due to how they're presently mis-labelled (cockpit tips = error). The switch you need to move is on the left vertical "wall" of the cockpit, above the throttle. It currently has only 2 positions. And that's the one that should have 3 (off/day/night) when all will be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 i'm talking about the switch located left in the canopy frame, not about the refueling light switch, which is located near the taxi light, yeah, that one is which switch i'm talking about, and in my settings, it has off, day and night position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
