Fuggzy Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 I was chatting earlier today with a co-worker who happens to be a former B1 flight commander. We were talking about in-flight refueling, and SHE explained to me that surprisingly often, the coupling would leak gas and spray on the windshield while pumping gas -- which she said adds a whole new level of difficulty to staying connected when turning into the sun and she nor the copilot can see the tanker. Anyways, she said that some amount of fuel spraying out is common and I think it'd be a cool touch if in DCS sometimes you'd have to do what she did and ask the KC135 to shut down 1 or 2 pumps or completely disconnect/reconnect to try and get a better seal. Obviously the vision problem would only affect aircraft with the fuel port in front, but it'd be neat to see fuel spraying on occasion like it does in RL, apparently. News to me. 2 System: Core i9 10980XE @ 4.00GHz -- MB: X299 UD4 Pro -- 32GB RAM -- RTX4070ti -- 1TB Intel NVMe x2 -- Win10 pro
