A/R Basket at disconnect


Tusky

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

Would it be possible to have the air-refuelling basket NOT become "substanceless/aethereal" and end up in the cockpit at "refuelling complete"?

I believe this issue could be solved by stopping the fuel flow at "refuelling complete" while still having the probe/basket connected in "contact". Disconnection would then be effected by the actual slowing down of the aircraft (like in an accidental "disconnect" while refuelling).

Thank you!

+1  this is really a much needed improvement. Full hose and basket physics would be great too. 

 

Realistic basket's behaviour would be top but for now I'd be grateful for the proposed first step... 😉

I don't think it is that hard to implement...I mean, once the drogue is connected, keep it connected until the pilot does disconnect it "voluntarily"...

Hopefully the physics update will be coming with the teased updates to the Viking Tanker. It would be a welcome addition. *Fingers crossed*

As mentioned earlier, I'm holding off on an AAR video until the new S-3 and refueling pod is ready, as well as the new hose and basket physics.

However, not so long ago ED said they will add hose / basket physics to a wish list Also claiming (or acting as) new hose and basket physics was never the plan in the first place.

So far we saw the new S-3 Viking 3D model in progress, but it was never confirmed (nor it was denied) that it will also include buddy store and AAR capability. It would be a huge surprise if S-3 Viking came with revamped / new hose and basket physics, but I feel we will be lucky if it comes in tanker role from day 1.

Comms, physics and procedure across AAR mission for both systems (boom / basket) needs its "we want to make AAR the most realistic experience ever created for a  PC"  ED objective assigned. The sooner the better.
