Thanks MrMudd,

 

Nice pics, could you please tell us how was it, was it hard to do, did you feel some kind of air turbulence when approaching? did you use some tip to guess the approaching speed? did the tanker guided you?

 

Sorry for so many questions but you know how this wait is doing us :)

 

Thanks again for the work you are doing.

 

Best regards,

 

Farris

MrMudd.

 

Could you confirm the following please....

 

From the pictures, I cannot tell if there are the vectoring lights on the tanker or not. According to my research, tankers have lights that allow them to see their position in regards to the tanker as they approach.

 

Does LO:MAC model these lights?

 

Appreciate it!

Yes The KC 10 does have Distance and elevation indicator lights, and they work exactly like the ones in real life.

 

in those pictures above the boom operator cabin is blocking them from the A10's perspective. being that the refuel door is in the nose, in the F15C it is easier to see. becasue the F15 pilot approaches closer and under the Boom Controllers cabin with the refuel Door past the left intake ramp nozzle.

You are the man.
