walt262 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I've been practicing trying to air-to-air refuel the SU-33 with absolutely no luck. I can't seem to hold the aircraft steady when nearing the basket. Is there any kind of system guidance that can help or is it all up to the pilot skill. this is the only part I just can't seem to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Pilot skill, unfortunately. The trick to learning aerial refueling is to first learn formation flying. Get stable next to the AI and get used to visual cues and the control inputs necessary to stay in position, then bring your position in closer and closer until you eventually get the hang of it. Constant trimming is also something to get used to. Edited September 28, 2022 by Nealius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
