skypickle Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I create a mission with a kc 130 and myself over the water west of kobuleti. When I'm in the air I approach the tanker and when he is .1 nm away I announce my intent to refuel. He says to proceded to 180 at 7000. I continue to follow him making my altitude 7000 and speed 180. I then hit F1 again to ask for precontact. He replies 'return precontact'. The boom never appears. 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisy_lightning Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 You need to get closer. It will deploy when you are close enough. Approach tha tanker just below it and when not much away from the refuelling distance report ready pre-contract again, it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hog can't refuel from a KC-130... There is no "Boom" ... Only baskets. You need a KC-135 (and not the MPRS version) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypickle Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 a real HOG a hole just below the windscreen with a door over it. That's how the nose gets all banged up-from the boom missing the target and hitting the hull. Where do you get the idea of a basket? 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Your OP says you’re trying to refuel from a KC-130 Hercules. You can’t get gas from a Herc in a Hog.

skypickle Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Sorry I misunderstood. So the KC 130 only has baskets. 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxOne007 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 As Emmy said, you need to use the KC-135 (NOT THE MPRS VERSION): It looks like this: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
