Tenkom Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Refueling takes so long in this plane. Could we have at least have faster refueling on the ground? 2x speed maybe? 5

Dangerzone Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 While it maybe realistic, so is rearming in a matter of a minute, isn't it? How long does it actually take to refuel the F-15E? If you're sitting around for 15 minutes waiting for each refuel, then I can see how this request could be justified. If it's just another minute or so than what the Hornet takes, then maybe not though? 6
Gotchi Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 I agree with Tenkom and Dangerzone, after all DCS is a video game and each time I have to wait 15 min to refuel I just go away from DCS simply because there is not a single thing I can do while waiting for refuel. I'd much appreciate if we could increase the refueling speed. 3
Lace Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 There should be an option for all modules. Instant rearm/refuel for the impatient air-quakers, and realistic rearm/refuel timings (i.e. much longer rearming) for the dedicated mil-simmers. 3 Laptop Pilot.

What if the guys at Sochi have some badass fuel pumps that can do double the rate of the old equipment they are fielding at Senaki? 2 1
badger7966 Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 I agree..faster refueling takes nothing away from the event.... 3
Sceptre Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 it's funny how the DCS ground crew uses the same fuel pump PSI for every aircraft. A huey and a P51 take about 5 seconds to fill and then you have the F-15E... 1 RTX 2070 8GB | 32GB DDR4 2666 RAM | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 4.2Ghz | Asrock X570 | CH Fighterstick/Pro Throttle | TM MFDs | TrackIR 5

This makes it more than twice rate than usual 2600lbs/min so probably a bug. btw: Here are tests done by the user: Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
