Capn Penguin Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I'm sorry but all my old geezer friends think DCS is a waste of time so you guys and gals are all I have to share this with. Y'all do it all the time and I'm sure it's easy as pie to everyone else but with my shaking hands it has been very difficult for me but I finally was able to Air to Air refuel! I was so excited I paused and took a screenshot just as the tanker went into a right hand bank. unpausing and immediately trying to compensate for the bank, my wobbly hands and racing heart.... Well, let's just say it didn't end well for me or the poor tanker crew. BUT there for a moment, I was a real pilot :) Of course then I became the worlds highest fireworks display so I guess that counts for something. Cap'n Penguin a.k.a.

EntropySG Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I never forget trying to learn and refuel with the A10 back then.. 'ready pre-contact' 'contact, youre taking fuel', 'return pre-contact' then I flew 2 hours formation with the damn tanker, thinking this was the hardest thing to do in the world, not knowing you have to press that little NWS button in the A10 to actually re-connect lol [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurgon Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Great job, man! I know how hard it is to get it done the first couple of times. Now that you know it's possible, it should actually get easier. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars Exulte Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 It isn't easy by any means, but basically boils down to formation flying. Practice that and it'll help you with AAR, too =) Congratulations ) There's a lot of ''accomplishment'' in DCS and it's got a good community, too ) Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn Penguin Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thanks to all for not laughing at an old man's accomplishment :). and for offering the encouragement. Haven't been able to fly for last few days preparing for a move but I can't wait to get set-up in my new house on Thursday and do some more drogue chasing. Great day to all. Cap'n Penguin a.k.a.
