In-Flight Refueling

[Ramstein]

I used to have tutorials, videos, and documents showing how to do in-flight refueling operations, but that was an old version before FC 2.0. Now where can we find this info?

 

thanx..

I don't think much has changed. The main difference is that there is less bugs in multiplayer that makes it easier to do it ;)

AFAIK, refueling process remains the same as it was with FC1.1.

LOMAC puts you in auto mode when U connect but with FC1.1 and FC2 you'll need to stay focused throughout the process.

 

So in case of being rusty I advise Ironhand's tutorials!

US only, of course. Russian airplanes is manual all along

FC 2.0 Refueling In Flight and Coop

Q: Will multi-player aerial refueling be supported in Flaming Cliffs 2.0?

A: Yes, but with some limitations.

1) Player being the host of a multi-player mission and won't have any problem refueling from the tanker. Also, the player will be able to see the positioning lights (KC-10A), baskets (IL-78 ) and will be able to hear radio communication with the tanker.

2) Player connecting to a server will be able to air refuel with a few differences.

-KC-10A limitation: No radio communication, no positioning lights

-IL-78M limitation: No radio communication

3) Important note for air refueling with the F-15C, A-10A and "weather" options.

Missions creator, if you're planning to add a tanker (KC-10A) to your multi-player missions, you will need to take in consideration the wind settings (Ground, 2000m, 8000m) under the "weather" tab options. Adding wind will prevent the client aircraft from connecting normally to the tanker as the autopilot will overcompensate for the wind and will make the air refueling impossible. You need to have wind set at 0 m/s at the altitude you're placing the tanker unit.

4) External tanks won't be refueled, only the internal tanks will be.

One more thing, I had a problem where the KC-10 lowered the refueling boom once, went into a turn, then raised the boom, went straight again, but refused to lower the boom again..

 

these are the type of questions I still have. Why did it refuse to lower the boom again... I tried everything.. I was in an A-10.
