RogueRunner Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Anyone tried it yet with B2? :music_whistling::music_whistling: Does it work now?:pilotfly: With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jg2001_Rasputin Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 It works. Alltough I havent been able to maintain a steady enough flight to get fuel from the tanker. Contacting and docking at least works fine just need to learn to fly better ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashEd Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Nice :) How do you add a tanker to a mission? Also, are there any available in any of the included missions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvsgas Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Most USAF jets get beat pretty bad by the boom. Caused by inexperience ( boom operator or pilots) To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

diveplane Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) i dont think the boom causes airframe panel damage , mainly paint scrape if anything, and aviation fuel wash on the aircrafts skin, when the boom releases, youll notice a sudden spray.. the aircraft thats getting fuel, gets washed with this. most of it vaporizes away though.

Lt.Seahawk Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Does it work in MP with the new Beta 2, did anyone tested it yet? DCS F-14 Tomcat Alley Discord Server: https://discord.gg/ceS859w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echonomix Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Does it work in MP with the new Beta 2, did anyone tested it yet? And, what speed should the tanker be set to in the mission? I tried this in beta one and the tanker thought we were drag racing. :doh: Well, I was never able to catch up to the tanker. asus p7p55d deluxe | intel i5-750 @ stock | g.skill ripjaw 4gb | asus geforce gtx 470 @ stock | trackir 4 | thrustmaster hotas warthog | win7 home premium 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobby Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Re speed: I remember a passage in "Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War' where they transferred from the US via the Atlantic in really bad weather with no autopilot, and they had to refuel mid-flight. The tanker (KC-135?) was barely able to maintain minimum speed with flaps extended in order for the A-10A's to refuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okmerflow Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Can someone explain how you setup your radio etc to make contact with the tanker? Don't get me wrong... I did read all info but the tanker in the comm menu stay's black and therefore unable to contact him. Much appreciated! PS A track file attached would be nice so i can see in the mission editor how the settings are been made... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Nothing to do with how difficult it can be in some circumstances ehhh...... :huh: Nope, seen the difference when an experience pilot does it as oppose to a new guys. Experience pilot look like he was on rails, connected in seconds. It took the new plot three time longer to get in position and it look like the first time a child stand up, wobbly as hell. I'm no pilot, just what I seen. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

It does not happen all the time, which I'm very grateful for, but they can damaged each other. I seen canopy scratches, antennas broken of, IFR door itself or the receptacle gauged to the point it requires replacement, etc. Same that and aircraft can destroy the boom.

The tanker (KC-135?) was barely able to maintain minimum speed with flaps extended in order for the A-10A's to refuel. If they were crossing the pond, they probably would be carrying external tanks, which would slow them down even more. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain!

Lixma 06 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 No idea how to get the Tanker to co-operate.....:huh: Also the KC-10A seems to have been 'disappeared'; can't find it in the editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexehuk Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Haha, nice to see others are having issues with the refueler going WAY too fast for the poor A10. I got so frustrated that I locked two Aim9s on him and tried to blow him out of the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
