jejsus Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I have a problem keeping speed low on refueling missions. Idling in level flight at 238kn with flaps on cruise or auto I'm picking up speed and consequently overtaking the carier. Also at higher speeds like 400ias airbrake does almost nothing compared to before. So only solution for me now is to have flaps full and it shouldn't be done that way, refueling is done on cruise. I also deleted harrier from installation and repaired with no change on this. I also checked my joystick to be properly calibrated and it is. Strange to me that there's nothing on this yet :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jejsus Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Is this on the new release update? I haven’t had an issue up to this point in the open beta. I've noticed it on previous release and was hoping that it would go away after today's update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbreath Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 238kt in a clean Harrier is pretty much the throttle-at-idle speed, in my experience. I can make it work with the airbrake out and very cautious use of the throttle, though. I don't know what speed the manuals recommend for AAR, but I suspect it's faster than the default tanker speed.

jejsus Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Air refueling speed on KC130 is allowed to go as low as 190kn, so I assume my aircraft shouldn't accelerate at all at idle, let alone overtaking the tanker at any speed at any flaps setting.

TheSkipjack95 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The Pegasus is an *extremely* powerful engine. From reading various accounts, not getting surprised by the power and acceleration of it takes getting used to. The manual ( NATOPS ) also states that if at idle, a high taxi speed is attained, using the nozzles to slow down is useful. So with a light load, the added airflow of flight speed and at the slow speeds of the C130, the harrier being touchy on the power doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Personally I've never had major issues with the power during refuels in the harrier specifically. Running the C130 at 270 ish indicated at 8000 is fine enough for both airframes, but it's true that having a C-135FR or KC-135BDA would be more comfortable.

Mumby Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Haven’t had this problem myself. Have you checked your throttle axis calibration to ensure that throttle all the way back really is at idle? Just a thought. I’m normally refuelling around 218kts on the practice mission I set up, Flaps Off, zero nozzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
