Poor mans sniper Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 This is a great idea, but there should be a option to do it automatically, just like how you can instantly start the helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de.Impact Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Is refuelling already included in the beta ? Im very curious about the detail of eg. the refueling boom and the communications... Could we see some screens or even a video ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron886 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I think T-Tail pilots prefer the 135 over the KC-10. I know were talking about the A-10 though!Why do you think that? I know what he's talking about. I think I've heard it mentioned also that the pilots prefer one tanker over the other because of its wake pattern... obviously vague because I don't have facts.

lubey Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 The A-10 will be pretty unique to refuel because the recepticle is right in front of the cockpit so I suppose we will actually be able to see the drogue moving around right in front of us...

Frederf Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It's not a drogue/probe, it's a boom/socket. The Marines and Navy use the droge/probe method because it matches their requirements more (small aircraft buddy/buddy) and requires one less trained operator. The Air Force uses the boom because it delivers a higher rate of fuel once connected for the big bombers and transports. It's probably easier to socket into the nose than it is to do it over your head and behind you like an F-16. I wonder how much the boom operators in DCS will be helpful and how much they will be stationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Probe, not drogue. :) You can fly to the tanker now get in close request gas and the probe extends out towards you but does not connect. Lights on bottom of tanker dont seem to work either yet. WIP I read. Still pretty cool to fly right underneath the tanker. Here is an interesting doc with some aerial refueling info re the KC-135 procedures and a couple bits on the A-10. http://www.vusaf.org/amwtc/97amw/KC-135/Altus%20KC-135%20and%20C-17%20AIR%20REFUELING%20GUIDE.pdf Edited October 19, 2010 by lobo** Lobo's DCS A-10C Normal Checklist & Quick Reference Handbook current version 8D available here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/172905/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it also display the price per gallon? :lol: "Uh yeah, I'd like about $538.30 worth of fuel. Thanks!" , "Roger that. Could you please hold your credit card up to the glass?"

lubey Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Oops sorry, the boom, my mistake. I see 220 knots is the A-10 refueling airspeed.
