v2tec Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 it is boring, waiting for every little gallon running into the tank. Can we speed up the process or add at least an animation for refueling - tank moves beside the aircraft, people attaching the hose... ________________________ ________ ______ ___ __ _ Win10 64 Pro, i7-6800K 3.4Ghz, 32 GB (DDR4), Asus Aorus 1080 TI WF, TrackIR 5 / RIFT, Thrustmaster Warthog, Fanatec Pedals, 55" oled 4k TV, Modules:A10C, KA-50, Huey, AV-8B, FA-18, F-16, NTTR, Persian Gulf _ __ ___ ____ _____ ______ _______ ____________

If you think it's boring for you, imagine what it's like for the poor sap holding a dead-mans cord while every pound of fuel is pumped in (fuel is calculated in lbs/kg btw, not gal/lit for aircraft), this is especially true when the weather outright sucks. Having done this in the real world, I can say this with some certainty XD That said, the flow rates are about as fast as they would be in the real world. 20,000lbs of fuel being pumped in typically takes about 5-10min or longer depending on the aircraft (737NGs typically take it in about 7-10, but the A320 family typically take about 20-30min due to their fuel system). But again, this all depends on the plane itself, and when it comes to mid-air refueling, it's even faster. 1
