DCS World | F-4E | First Aerial Refueling Attempt
Thought I'd share my first attempt at aerial refueling. It went surprisingly well for my first attempt though I was very shaky on the stick and probably ended up pissing off the boom operator with how much I was moving all over the place.

Aerial refueling was one of the more challenging aspects to learn when it came to getting into DCS. As a civilian flight sim user, formation flying was a somewhat new concept to me as to aerial refuel; you need to know how to fly in formation.

Instead, I saw blind shooting at the next best radar contacts. It could have been an ambulance evacuating the wounded and/or civilians!? Next time, make the radar contact the aquisition source (ACQ), select TADS in the TEDAC, press "Slave" and align the TADS with the aquisition source, and clear the contact visiually. At least that would be my suggestion :-) Best regards GNCRamBo

I’ll be sure to identify my targets with the TEDAC first before firing at any targets. I only did that in this case since it was “prior intel” that we knew about but you’re 100% right that I should visually ID the target before firing at it. Sorry that I couldn’t bring it to a level of professionalism that you wanted. I have a lot of different modules and never enough time to dedicate towards them so things like that slip. It’s one of the reasons that uploading these is so useful to me and hopefully to others as anyone can point out any mistakes I made so that I can learn from them and hopefully anyone who watches can also point them out.

You're amplifying the head movement in game compared to your actual head movement in the real world so as to mimic free head movement with the in-game camera and not having to use a separate hat switch or other control to move your camera around. Your eyes will still be looking at the monitor but your in-game camera will be turned much further so that you can continue to see the monitor. You won't be looking directly behind you to see behind you in-game unless you are actually using. The only exception to this is VR which will allow you to look in the game world at a 1:1 ratio since the display is fixed to your eyes.

    • @VKNorthern
      @VKNorthern Рік тому

      I actually have a video on my UA-cam channel doing some aerial refueling with the control inputs display in DCS open. In that video, I was using my VKB Gunfighter MCG Ultimate and CM3 throttle. Using the X56 to do such a thing was quite difficult as I personally had a deadzone setup so that the slop in the center would not get picked up since there was basically no resistance there at all due to the spring not acting upon the joystick in any way. You'll find that upgrading to the VKB Gladiator EVO or another higher-end joystick will provide a much smoother and overall better experience. I've even had a much better experience using the T16000m as that at least doesn't have that kind of "sloppy" feel in the center (though the gimbal mechanism of the cup and ball method leaves a lot to be desired due to the hard push through when you return the stick to center). Doing aerial refueling in DCS with the X56 is totally possible but you'll find it becomes a lot easier when you don't need to wrestle your controls and can just focus on flying in formation with the tanker. Thanks for your input!

    I don’t know if you still watch comments on this video I’m looking for a mod for either xplane 11 or 12 that’s not too modern but not too classic I have the FlyJSim 732 and Colimata Concorde and I like them but I’m looking for some more middle of the road aircraft. I have the FF757 and enjoy the hell out of it any suggestions? I was thinking maybe an MD11 or something but I’m not sure if it’s good I’d prefer not the aircraft be Boeing since I don’t really care for airbus I like to be able to fly the plane myself once in a while without the plane telling me I’m gonna kill everyone on board because I didn’t engage autopilot

    • @VKNorthern
      @VKNorthern Рік тому

      I know you said that you don't want an Airbus because of all the automation involved in those but the Airbus A300 or A310 are pretty good choices when it comes to getting something that isn't too modern but also isn't too classic as it has a lot of analog gauges combined with glass cockpit displays kind of like how the 757 is. I got it for X-Plane at 10 GBP when they had that sale, and it will most likely happen again at some point when it goes on sale from iniBuilds, but they have the A300 now by default with every copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator, so it could be more worthwhile to fly it in Microsoft Flight Simulator since it is given to you as part of the base game package. The Felis 747-200 is similar to the FlyJSim 732, but it has a bit more modernization than that aircraft as you can fit in different navigation units ranging from the CIVA INS to the LTN-92 and the default X-Plane FMS. It's great from what I hear and may be what you want. The Rotate MD-11 had a rough launch with some major bugs and issues. I've heard that most of these have been ironed out, and the experience with the aircraft is good, but it is pretty high priced. It is a great aircraft nonetheless, but it is quite modern as it contains full glass cockpit displays and doesn't really have much in the way of that "classic" kind of feel. Perhaps the Rotate MD-80 might be a better choice for that classic yet modern feel?
