Pâte Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Morning pilots and devs. Thought about a details could be VERY interesting to add to the AAR in DCS. The basket rupture. Would increase the challenge and level of immersion during those phases. As well as adding a collision between the basket and the aircraft, causing damage to the aircraft & probe. It could be based on a very simple preset : During contact - If relative speed between tanker & aircraft > limit = basket rupture During refueling - If relative vertical speed between tanker & aircraft > limit + if didn't disconnected = basket / probe rupture - If relative lateral speed between tanker & aircraft > limit + if didn't disconnected = basket / probe rupture What are your thought ?

mr_mojo97 Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 ED are working on fully remodelling the AAR physics, maybe this will be one of the additions. It would be cool, I agree.

Andartu Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 Then in the first place they need to get rid of the silly "auto disconnect" when fully refueled. I know it is not realistic to get refueled to max most of the times. With that being said aside.. it would be nice to order a certain amount of fuel beforehand with several options via the F10 menu (also not realistic but would be nice), so say 2000 lb for example. I don´t know why that auto disconnect mechanic with probe/drogue exists at all (maybe just a copy/paste from the boom mechanic where it is more realistic). With what is it like now we would have an instant crash with the basket (when it would have collusion) after disconnecting and being just 2 foot ahead of its resting position. When we are filled up just let us disconnect by ourselves via falling back. :joystick: At least with the probe/drogue Navy variant which is the subject here.
