Mission 12 - overhead tanker doing 190 KTS

[Razor18]

Hi There,

as the title says. It is freaking difficult to refuel at that speed...

Thanks for looking at it maybe...

You are right. Actually it seems to be the same situation in missions 8 to 15. Fortunately only the recovery tanker as it's mostly not needed. I have made a patch fixing this issue. Thanks for reporting.

Yeah, it is rarely needed, but especially on those rare occasions you REALLY need it. I overrun the tanker 3 times in the clouds, meaning IMC, until I could find him again using the HSI, join and refuel starting from 600 pounds. I was sweating bullets by then, needless to say... In retrospect, probably should have used half flaps...

Glad to hear you still made it Sould be bit easier when I get the patch out

Another weird thing - I know not your fault - the rain effect on the canopy was just as blurry at 190 kts, as it would be standing on the carrier. Totally unrealistic, as the wind blows off all water already at any speed that keeps any aircraft airborne...
