SU-33 Aerial Refueling

[kram14 0]

Hi,

 

Just a couple of questions on aeriel refueling in a SU-33.

 

1) Which Hud should I be using to check the tankers height and speed (and which button do I pressto get it)? Currently I use the "bore sight" but I would imagin this isn't correct.

 

2) I've setup a mission with 2 tankers, the first one extends his baskets when I press R to extend my refueling probe however, the second one doesn't, is there a reason?

 

3) Can I inform the tanker of which basket I have selected and if so how?

 

4) Is it possible to zoom out on the radar? ie. So that I can see more around me.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

1. Go to the NAV HUD (1) and extend the refuelling probe, and when you're in range, the HUD will automatically show the range and bubble to the tanker.

 

2. I've never had that issue, possible bug...

 

3. No, there is not much as far as comms, you use "~" key to cycle the baskets, and it'll automatically show the information on range and direction to the baskets. When looking at the IL-78M from your direction, 1 is the left one, 2 center, 3 right basket.

 

4. The "-" and "=" keys do that for you, the non-keypad ones, the ones to the right of 0.

Great thankyou Flanker 562

 

Turns out that on the second tanker I forgot to assign it to refueling and thats why the baskets didn't deploy

 

Something else that I forgot, my Dad and I were trying to both refuel on thesame tanker at thesame time but neither of us could see the other and we could fly through each other, is that normal ?

That's highly unusual. What version of Lock On do you have?
