How To Properly Disconnect From Tanker??

[walker450]

When refueling in Lock On (I am using FC2 specifically), and the tanks become fuel, how do I properly disconnect? I want to gracefully breakaway....

 

I'm flying the SU-33.... and it seems to just stay there on autopilot trying to refuel after it is already full. I have to push the nose down real hard and it will finally go down...

 

I did not see a description in the FC2 manual.

Have you tried dropping the throttle? I know FC2 had a issues with the jet going into autopilot, hopefully that is fixed. Can anyone tell me if the mp seeing the refueling probe/hoses is still a problem. In FC2, you couldn't see it until you were almost connected. Things like that amaze me when it works so great in F4/BMS....which is older then FC2.

If Cali's suggestion doesn't work, then try LAlt-9 to disengage autopilot first, followed by throttling back. That should allow you to ease away.

Thanks guys. I will try throttling back only... and having more patience to see what it does. I will also try disengaging the autopilot, but I'm pretty sure I have tried it without success.

 

Maybe I need to update my FC2... I'm bad about ignoring the patches lol. Totally my fault! When I get back home I'll see what version I am running.

 

I am waiting for FC3 final to be released before I download. However, I wanted to practice in FC2 in preparation for 3.

I only refueled in the 33 in FC2 and had no issues with it. I tried in the F-15 and the freaking autopilot always made me run into the tanker, so I stopped refueling in the 15. It's a shame that some of those things haven't been fixed and especially when they work so well in other older games. I can't buy FC3 until April, so I hope it's final by then or they get a lot of these bugs squashed. I'm keeping a eye on viper's list and what people are saying.
