Woogey Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 As mentioned earlier, I'm holding off on an AAR video until the new S-3 and refueling pod is ready, as well as the new hose and basket physics. Thanks This is the first I have heard of a New S-3 Model. A big thank you goes out to the entire E.D. Crew for slowly but surely updating the Naval Aviation assets in DCS. Here's to wishful thinking that you guys do the same for the SH-60, and eventually get an Ai EA-6B Prowler into the Sim. -Woog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGTharos Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 And that issue has more to do with time/effort to model such things properly than it has to do with secrets.

Flamin_Squirrel Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 And that issue has more to do with time/effort to model such things properly than it has to do with secrets. I imagine that's not high up the priority list either, as I expect most people (including me) wouldn't be able to tell (and appreciate) if it's done properly or not.

XCNuse Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) So 3 years down the line..... Any updates on these "on the high priority list" features from 2018 that have somehow skipped the F18 Early Access despite being a slated promise?

ExoticTrout Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I'm wondering too... Tried yesterday to tank off an S3 with no joy. Changed to a KC-135 and had no issues..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stearmandriver Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I tank from an S-3 almost every mission I fly; works fine. I'm not sure what the problem was supposed to be. Now, does the S-3 need a visual upgrade? Oh god yes. Could DCS basket physics overall be improved? Definitely. But the Viking tanker works fine. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vstolmech513 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 @ExoticTroutwhen you say you had no joy of tanking from the S3, did you get cleared to connect, then just not get the "you're taking fuel" bit after plugging? A quick track is always a bonus, but is this a tanker in a mission that you created? Did you ensure that you added an S3B Tanker, not just an S3B? These were things I messed up when I started trying to be super cool and trying to make my own practice missions, not sure how advanced you might be in mission making, not trying to offend.

Hey @vstolmech513, no offense taken - they're fair questions. This was an ME scenario I made to just practice tanking, and my skills are "reasonable" ;> I was stable and cleared to connect in this particular example. My issue was with what I am perceiving as the physics of the basket. It might have been me being ham-fisted, but as noted, I changed the tanker to the KC-135 and had no trouble getting a full tank of gas just a few minutes later. This thread has motivated me to go back and try a few more goes. I will report back with an updated opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycanuck Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Does this mean the probe will stop passing through the basket when refueling is complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
