KC135MPRS speed too slow

Recommended Posts

Hi, not sure this is in the right place. I have set a KC135MPRS in mission editor with a speed of 250knots on all its waypoints includig the plane itself at 20,000ft. However when I go to tank with it it's doing 188knots. It's pretter hard at such a slow speed in a F-18. Is this a bug or is there a way around it?

I believe the mission editor measurements are in "ground speed" rather than "air speed".

I place my tanker at FL001 to compensate 😉

I use this to quickly find a ballpark value.

So I punch in the Altitude and Equivalent Airspeed I want, to find the Mission Editor Ground Speed (True Airspeed) I need, and I dont bother with Temp Offset.
