Tshark Posted July 26, 2024 Posted July 26, 2024 Since the patch changing engine spool up, it seems I cannot get "FULL" indicator lights on the external tanks when AAR. I stay hooked up to the tanker after internal fuel gauge reads full, but nothing seems to be happening. If I do a manual disconnect from the tanker then I get radio message from tanker that refueling is complete. I have tried with the external tanks selected and off, with no difference. Anybody else having the same issue? 9800X3D (5.21GHz Turbo), MSI RTX 4090 OC 24GB, ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E GAMING Motherboard, G.

Anybody else having the same issue?Are you sure you actually fully refueled them? It can take up to 10-15 minutes depending on the situation.Might want to share a track, then I can tell you the fuel state in all individual tanks directly :)
Solution Tshark Posted July 27, 2024 Author Solution Posted July 27, 2024 You were right. I just wasn't allowing enough time. Refuel is much slower than I am used to.

VIKBELL Posted August 18, 2024 Posted August 18, 2024 What speed do we have the tanker to fly at I have just made mission and set o 250 KTs. Is that too slow ??

Is that too slow ?? It might be. As far as I understand, navy aircraft refuel slower because there’s a risk of overspeeding the probe opening/closing mechanism. Air force aircraft don’t have that restriction. If I remember correctly, the ideal refuelling speed for an F-16 is 310KIAS for example (while an F-18 needs to stay under 270). It might be worth experimenting a bit to see what “feels” best in terms of responsiveness and the lowest risk of overcorrection/PIO. Providing the current FM is reasonably accurate, that should get you close enough Spoiler Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 96GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo DDR5-6000 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 990Pro 4TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero VPC MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with Z-curve extension | VPC CM3 throttle | VPC CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | VPC R1-Falcon pedals with damper | Pro Flight Trainer Puma OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings Win11 Pro 24H2 - VBS/HAGS/Game Mode ON
