Much appreciated!

 

Can I just pop a quick question? Why not use the control overlay when making these kinds of videos?

Haven't watched the video yet.

Can we pass the refueling to jester ? I just want to read my newspaper while he is fighting with the hotas :)

Maybe Iceman will be able to do this some time in the future, who knows?

 

I mean, when we'll get the Tornado, it probably would be really awesome to be WSO and have a good HB AI in the front seat and I guess it wouldn't be too hard to train that one to fly a Tomcat as well rainbowdashwink.png

I'm impressed how you seems so impressed by this module.

I mean, one have to be quite confident in the quality of the cat to say things like "best FM ever" n such in front of the crazy crowd, so... can't wait!

Thank you for the video.

Does the wake turbulence of the tanker affect the refuelling much?

Will we get a new tanker for the F-14?

We currently have 3 available tanker which should be nice. One of them looks outdated and the crew of the other two can't tell left from right when it comes to deploying hoses.

 

Maybe something like this?

Great tutorial Maverick.

Thanks very much for some great markers and reference points!

Like many, I'm looking forward to flying this bird!
