Fueling tanker

<< < (2/3) > >>

OK ... sorry so late to this topic.

The answer to the question is: yes ... you can refuel using the refueling tanker.

Extend your probe (it works) ... and position yourself just below and behind the tanker. Watch your fuel gauge.

Two things you won't see:

1) A hose extending down from the tanker.
2) Your windscreen being cleaned.

On the plus side, they don't charge you for the avgas.  :o

Yes i also got fuel from the tanker when i got close to it from behind, it works. It would be nice to have the option to "call" the tanker when ever i need to refuel in the air just like i have in FS9 with Lago's F-16 Falcon and the Tornado, it is really a cool add-on.
This is a picture from FS9 i am flying AerialFoundry F-18 and the F-16 is AI plane that escorts the tanker.

Does the tanker show in all the ""Carrier Practice" sessions?  I went to the practice mission and saw no option to tanker.

Never mind I found it and it's pretty cool.  Would be great to be able to see a fuel line and trying to catch it with your  probe.  Thanks.

I found the tanker by taking off in the "Carrier Practice" Mission.  Takeoff from the Carrier and climb on the carrier heading to 17,000' and you will notice a Boeing 737 flying in a holding pattern.  The 737 was flying at about 250 kts.

I tried to refuel by placeing myself just below and behind the tanker and watched my fuel gauges and nothing happened.  And yes the boom was extended.  I tried and varying distances from the tanker.  Has anyone else had any luck with getting refueled?  How long does it take to refuel?

worked for me after holding behind engine 2 for about 1.3 seconds.
