Saruman Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 As per thread title, I find that KC-135's refuelling lights on tanker's belly are too dim to be clearly looked at. Could ED make them brighter or implement an on-screen display like the one you have on Supercarrier for IFLOLS? 3

skywalker22 Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Some info about those lights on real KC-135: https://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11419 Point is that those lights are not very bright, so quite hard to see in a day light. 1
Dragon1-1 Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 FYI, real pilots commonly say the thread title when refueling from the real thing. The response is typically "Sorry sir, the lights are full bright.", as told by a real KC boomer. Real pilots had also stated the director lights are usually not good for much. An on-screen display could be useful for learning, but IRL, you'd typically fly the sight picture of the tanker, only using the lights when the rest of the tanker is not visible. 2
skywalker22 Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 But yee, I would also like to see them shine a bit more.
Allo Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 Any news to share yet? Wanting the same as the OP. A display of the refueling lights to the side like the carrier has with the IFLOLS. 1 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3.6 GHz // Motherboard - ASUS M4A89GTD-PRO // GFX - ATI Radeon HD 6870 1GB // RAM - Patriot-Viper II 4GB(2x2GB) DDR3-1600 // Audio - Creative X-FI Platinum // OS - Windows 7 Home x64 Bit CH Fighterstick // CH Pro Pedals // CH Pro Throttle // TrackIR 4 // Eyefinity 20"x3 Portrait :joystick:
Kimura670 Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 An on-screen display of the Pilot Director Lights like the Super Carrier IFLOLS would be a great addition to DCS. 1
WHOGX5 Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 This is really needed, as it's almost impossible to see the lights in daytime with a normal FOV. Also, because of the extremely bright backlighting for the Fore / Aft column it's very hard to see at night as well. 2 -Col. Russ Everts opinion on surface-to-air missiles: "It makes you feel a little better if it's coming for one of your buddies. However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."

Mateo Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 I am happy to find this thread, I had intention to open such topic.
Red Dog Posted February 10, 2024 Posted February 10, 2024 another vote for this to be enhanced a bit. I feel the left one UP and Down is OK but the right one Forward and Backward is a real pain to see both during daylight and night AAR The issue I feel is not really brightness but lack of contrast due to a white line of lights against the green reference light. That is what makes it very hard to see IMHO just removing that white line would tremendously help In the above picture I know I'm great on up and down but I have no way to know where I am front/aft from the light only Have a Bandit Day Red Dog [sIGPIC] http://www.ravico.com/ST/perso/Sig_generale.png [/sIGPIC]
