That's the way it is in RL, you only get distance no bearing to the tanker, just like "yardstick". i7 8700k@4.7, 1080ti, DDR4 32GB, 2x SSD , HD 2TB, W10, ASUS 27", TrackIr5, TMWH, X-56, GProR.

Hiob Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Cool Stuff! Question: Are you sure about the weight of the A-10 and F/A-18? Those look more like a typical take-off weight. But I may be mistaken of course. "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

Because as far as I know (not that far! just wikipedia), the A-10II has an empty-weight of less than 10t (thats what I remembered) and with 60% fuel it should weigh max. 13t. But I don't know for sure - that's why I asked. Perhaps OP has better sources.

dlder Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 @some1 I just have to give thanks: this is a great list and my go-to page for pretty much any comparison between the jets. Thank you so much for your continued work!! 1 OpenXR-Switcher: to easily switch OpenXR runtimes as well as en-/disable API layers Kneeboard-Picture-Viewer: my own take on a Kneeboard for a 2nd monitor, that acts more or less as a better picture viewer. F-15CX mod: my own take on a simple F-15C upgrade English Avionics with Native Betty: you can now have English HUD on non US planes and still hear the native Betty!
