M2000C AAR Tanker

What tanker can be used with the M2000? I'm aware that a fuel transfer is not implemented but I would like to practice with a dry connect.

This thread reminds me: on page 28 of the manual which describes the fuel gauge, item 1 is listed as "Refuel Transfer Light" and the description is "Displays when aerial refueling switch is on"....

 

... but where's the refueling switch?!

Did you find it?

In case you didn't know, air to air refueling doesn't work yet. That May be the issue.

You can "connect" but you wont get any fuel and tanker Will spam you with messages.

 

I know fuel transfer doesn't work at the moment.

 

The manual refers to a switch related to AAR that I can't find.

 

The two items may be linked, maybe not!

The switch is located on the wall by the left side panel. It is not operational yet. We goofed and forgot to enable it, mainly because we were/still are worried about the fuel transfer problem.

Thanks, I was a little lost when I went up for some training! Its actually pretty tricky, the way the engine responds makes it difficult, a nice challenge :)

Hi, what am I missing?... I used to run simple AAR missions but today, I updated my DCS World, I am running 2.5 open beta. when I create a simple AAR mission, I cannot find a comms menu to contact the tanker. I tried American and Russian Tankers. I even tried adding an advanced waypoint action and manually inputted a frequency. please help out.

 

by the way, Tacan works well I just cannot get a Tanker option on my radio menu to contact the tanker and request refuel.

Just one more question, if I may ask... it's about the tanker refueling lights, those in the lower fuselage, I mean.

When approaching and refueling with the Mirage, they seem not to emit any light, at the moment.

I'm wondering if might be so on purpose, because it's not needed due the particular refueling procedure acted (to connect a probe to a drogue), whether it would behave differently if would the boomer be involved in instead?

 

Most of all, my apologies in advance if my question has already answered in another topic - I seemed to haven't found any about, though.

 

Thanks in advance. With best regards.

I tried AAR refueling today post the patch and can confirm that I was fine refueling with a KC130.
