Sylosis Posted May 21, 2023 Posted May 21, 2023 Hi, Often times, when refuelling, I can't get a "connect" even if my aim seems ok, so I then switch to the other side (suppose I was trying to refuel on the right side and it doesn't work, I switch left) and surprise, I easily get a connect even with a worse aim. Is this normal and if it is, how can I know which side to use? Windows 10-64bits, i7-8700k, GTX 1080Ti, 32 Gb RAM, MSI Monitor 32in 165Hz. Mirage 2000C, F5-E, Mig21bis, A10-C, FC3, F-18, AV-8B N/A, F-14, F-16, SuperCarrier
Solution razo+r Posted May 21, 2023 Solution Posted May 21, 2023 The first aircraft at the tanker will always get the left side, the second one, if the left one is still in use, will get the right one. 1 1

Is this normal and if it is, how can I know which side to use? For whatever reason, IMHO with the KC-130MPRS and the F-18, the refuel "box" on the left side is offset slightly farther right than it should be (for getting cleared). Doesn't seem to affect actually getting a connect to the basket as long as you get cleared, but you need to be closer to the aircraft to get cleared for contact. Right side not affected. As Raz+r said, 1st aircraft should go to left side. If there is an AI aircraft in line ahead of you it can block you getting fuel from the left.
