joojoo Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Hey to all I started practice air refueling. i use for the tanker the S3 B but when I choose to be in 10.000 ft with 220 knots, the speed of the tanker is at 189 knots. Any ideas? thanx
DowntownSIX Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 This caught me out as well - the mission editor references TAS (True Air Speed) rather than IAS (Indicated Airspeed) so you need to adjust for it.

Tippis Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 The speed you set in the ME is ground speed — at 10k' that will translate into a significantly lower IAS. The Viking is a jet, so just slap 50–100kts extra on top of what you have now and then swear at the crippled refuelling AI that can't even tell you its flight stats. ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Last time I checked ground speed (GS - there is a tick box for it) is used, rather than any type of air speed - be it true or indicated...
