I don't And until now I wasn't aware it could be a problem. You're right - you may increase the weight by even around 10,000 lbs and... I never retrim. Perhaps... the increasing weight is compensated kind of "automatically" by gradual thrust increase? estion. AAR in the Hawg (in DCS at least) is more of a hobby, than necessity

 

Just a small issue really, just something I noticed as I refuel.  I have a Virpil stick.  The springs are significant and I can feel the added resistance when I need to trim. 

 

I wrote that above with the idea of fine tuning in mind.

Yes, that's right, you have to use more throttle to stay at the same alt and speed with more weight.

 

Probably what I am feeling in my stick.  That sinking feeling...

What really helps with the BODO is.... don’t look at the boom!

So it wouldn’t matter if it’s spinning in a circle up and down or whatever it does. Just keep your eyes and focus on the tanker.

Hey Guys,

 

I finally reached an accord with BODO.  He doesn't mess with me so much and I don't punch him in the kidneys at the club.

 

FWIW...

 

I also managed to refuel with disconnecting only one time and a full tank of gas.  A bit shaky a few times as per usual.  But non the less, a fair amount of satisfaction from doing that.

 

The video is awful, and the mic was supposed to be muted.  But it is short and sweet.

 

AAR is pitifully easy

 

I just wanted to re-thank everyone who had patience with this crazy guy and gave me the best advice.

 

Cheers,

Caldera
