Tom P Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Would be cool to add a F10 radio menu to request X amount of fuel from a tanker. F10 menu Option 1 = 1,000lbs Option 2 = 2,000lbs Option 3 = 3,000lbs Option 4 = 4,000lbs Option 5 = 5,000lbs Option 6 = Complete fill up Example: After take off you link up with a tanker. F10 radio menu option 6 to top off the amount you just used. Maybe even have the tanker respond that they are on station and have 5,000lbs left to give so you choose a different option, especially if you're in a flight with others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt. Scribbles Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 +1 If i might add, Tanker passing information like divert course because of bad weather, entering and exiting a turn or climbing/descending. Communicating this, the pilot can calculate his inputs better when refueling. 2 RIG SPECS: -Win 10 professional -i5 8600k @5.0GHz -ASUS Maximus X Code -Samsung 960 Evo 256GB M2 SSD -Samsung 970 Pro 1TB M2 SSD -32GB DDR4 RAM @3000MHz -Asus Strix 1080 Ti 11G -LG 34UM68-P Monitor Notebook: -Win10 - 2018 ASUS ROG GL703gs-E5011T (i7-8570H, 16GB DDR4, 256GB M2 SSD,GTX1070 8GB.

Goetsch Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) Radio the tanker to change the current flight speed? Edited December 26, 2023 by Goetsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BomberEW Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I'm fine with a menu option for specific offloads, but I would like to add a 0 offload AR training option meaning that you can still get a hook-up without transferring any gas. This allows for training and teaching without the tanker disconnecting after only a few thousand pounds because you took off with full fuel. In real life military pilots practice AR without taking any gas on a regular basis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the M2000 you can connect but if you don't turn on the fuel flow you wont get anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
