bSr.LCsta Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hey all, I had posted this response on the UBI forums to somone needing help with refueling so I figured I would put it here in case anyone needed help. ;) Lets say the Tanker is flying at 7000m and 450k airspeed.... As you approach 1-2km from the tanker: 1. Extend the refueling probe, and select your basket (1-Left, 2-Center, 3-Right) Note: Center basket is slightly lower than side baskets 2. Set your Altitude Hold at 6995 (your HUD will go from 6990 to 7000 so you must estimate the 6995) *PRIOR TO setting Altitude Hold adjust your vertical trim pitch for level flight. This is done so when you are near the basket and need to disengage Altitude Hold to make a minor adjustment you wont pitch wildly up or down. 3. Control your speed! Once you are 0.2-0.1km from the basket your speed should be about 455kph. Engage Speed Hold at this speed and bring throttle to idle. Continue to 0.0km from the basket and then reduce speed by disengaging Speed Hold to 452kph, then re-engage Speed Hold. v1.02-Continue at 452kph and line the probe up to the basket. Once you make contact, Auotpilot takes over and you can just hang out and watch your fuel gauge. v1.1-Just before contact you need to be as close to SAME speed as tanker as possible (450.1kph is ideal) The reason is the once contact is made Speed Hold is engaged at that current speed. *If you end up making contact going to fast, you need to retract the nozzle and tap Speed hold off and back on again, the re-extend the nozzle Now you need to keep an eye on your distance from the tanker (chances are you will be going slightly faster), and keep your wings level. 4. Once you are fueled up retract your nozzle and disengage your Speed Hold. Hope that helps someone p.s. Adding wind and turbulance makes for a good challenge http://www.teambsr.com/ BSR{L()Csta> Old School GR Squad Senior Squad Leader is this ok?

169th_Crusty Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Well, you can trim the plane and aim for the basket inverted as long as you want :) ... without worrying about the oil and fuel pressures and... Looks cool :) and no I`m not gonna try it << Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4с САВО СРПСКИ Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 LOL, I know your skills Dante and I have no doubt that you did it in 1.1, but hey.... where did you dig that idea of doing it inverted ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdELTPoznan Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 It must be from moded demo, look at the HUD. It's not from 1.02 GROM- Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Manewrowego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Yep definitely 1.1. Judging by the HUD. Well Done Dante! Nate Edit:- would this work in 1.02? doesn't the autopilot kick in when you connect?

S77th-Dante Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 why upside down. ? because we were flying some formation & doing some online a2a refueling and i had already tanked and was flying upsidedown above my teammates who were hooked up. then me mate said ' i'll give u $100 if u can refuel upsidedown' so i did . new screens for you today with some 1.1 things like colored smoke and season pack landscape. screens taken from this 1.1 track http://s77th.com/personnel/upsideowna2arefuel.zip Savage 77th Squadron 'S77th' http://www.s77th.com The Lomac League, For Squadrons & Single Players http://www.LomacLeague.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
