Simviation Forums

While practicing carrier landings in the "Missions" part of FSX, I climbed almost straight up after leaving the carrier.

I rather doubt that it is. But if you can it should be in the brieffing part of the mission because I would imagine that you will need to press a key in order to activate the simulated fuel transfer. I have not even looked at the missions so I am not sure. 8-)

On another forum, I have seen a guy that was testing the same mission.
He reported that after staying close enough to the Tanker, his fuel was increasing slowly, 3% per 3%. The other members could not reproduce the case at the time I read it, though...

thats pretty cool

couldnt a gauge or something be made that when within a certain vacinity of a certain aircraft your fuel increased if your probe is out?

is it possible to do?

There is a control in FS that allows you to increase your fuel but the push of a button. It takes 3 seconds to completely refuel but its there.  I'm pretty sure the command is "Increase Fuel" or something like that.

Is the tanker still there while in free flight?

I haven't noticed it anywhere in freeflight but then I don't think the compass is available when in freeflight.

Hey Tom,

To answer your question yes you can refuel with a tanker in fsx!!!
How to do it: Proceed to one of the wings and press shift x be careful not to hit the wing.
good luck and happy flying guys.

Where'd you find this out?

I remember way back, when Janes EA existed, in F-15 Strike Eagle you could do mid air refueling, where you have to hook up to the boom and everything.  Why can't FS do this?  And why can't Janes Information group sponsor a good combat flight sim anymore?  

I miss F-15 .  The detail, the accuracy, the flat out fun it was.
