AAR is the difficult task that I think

I think in DCS there's a lot that doesn't go wrong that can out in the real world.  All we worry about is PIO and plugging in; I can't count the number of times I've done something that would likely be catastrophic if this wasn't a game, and that doesn't even get in to mechanical failures.  Having the basket fly through the pilot's head is an annoyance in DCS...

Of course I still make my tankers invulnerable out of habit.  I used to get so frustrated that the gun would accidentally fire (uncommanded, of course) and cause wing damage on the tanker.  That's not a problem anymore, but just in case...

I still can't do it!  Dirty Harry said, "A man has GOT ta know his limitations!!" ... So, for the last 3 weeks I have been flying a l lot of hours in P-51D Mustang, exclusively, on Project Overlord WWII server in Multiplayer. That warbird never runs out of gas!

Try with a KC-130 and no wind.  For me, at least, the KC-130 is much easier than the KC-135.  Unless you fly one of those planes that need penetration, then you're more or less screwed...

Impressed that the rotor on the CH-53 took cutting off the refueling probe in stride.

I agree!

take it from this Hornet Driver in DCS…it can be learned just takes many reps…also its much easier in VR.

I think it a very hard task to do, but this video is very good and informative video
