Aerial Refueling in Microsoft Flight Sim!

[Kevdenmi]

Now you know how hard it is in real life!

[DreamAsylum]

It's hard to nearly impossible if you're trying to use the stick, the trick is to match speed, heading and altitude exactly in the pocket - and then trim into the basket. Small changes and slow alignment will get it for you almost every time.

Crazy how far Microsoft flight simulator has come😮

Dcs players watching this while refueling

Gives you an idea of just how dangerous it can be to aerial refuel. Mad respect for the pilots of the jets and the tankers in real life.

As someone who wants to become an Air Force tanker pilot, this addition is so fire. They should have added KC-135 and KC-10

I recently was in a KC-46 to refuel 2 squadrons Taco and Juice both in combat training and F-15’s they were amazing and understanding of all the stuff on board!

On a ‘very old’ fighter sim, you could refuel this way, but I found that, if you landed, or indeed crashed’ anywhere you simply respawned at that point.So you could arrive at the target almost fully fuelled and armed.

Reminds me of DCS public servers where you would see people crashing while refueling all the time

Use the cross, the circle is ur pitch (up and down) which should usually be slightly away from the cross. The game auto aligns ur pitch to the ground in the sight for accuracy, so make sure not to change pitch and go up and down while about to drop bombs. Good luck, i use to find it hard to bomb, but after 1 month straight in my isreali b-17 i got better. U will too

That “Ace” picture of the guy in the pilot helmet goes crazy

MSFS is now an app for hooking up with planes. Frequent probing may result in afterburn.

I was a maintainer on the kc-135. Damn I really miss that job.

If you want the ultimate A/A refuel experience……DCS is always there and the modules are tax deductible 🤗🇺🇸👍

[airmanfirstclass]

I was gonna say for starters go with a plane with a straighter wing, unlike the swept back Rafale. The Intruder is subsonic and more stable at slow speeds

[Mcgruff]

pro tip: keep your hand steady if your using a stick aline your right wing with the back of the plane and slowly accelerate. make minor adjustments as u get close. then match the speed of the plane while accelerating slightly to get the connection smooth.

"Here footage of me hooking up with the A-6 Intruder instead"😅😅

We're lucky aerial refueling finally got added to MSFS! (It has already been in TFS for quite a while)

[RadinIrani-nk]

*Fun fact, Iran was the first country to perform an aerial refueling in the h-3 air strike❤️✌️*
