+allenjb42 Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 I know we can't really do air to air refuelling in SF2, so treat this as an opportunity to show off your close formation flying skills with some spectacular screenshots! Any combination of tanker and receiver is allowed. Any era, nation, air force or terrain. Any model source, be it CA, TMF, DAT, YAP or other acronym! Here are some of my efforts: I'm sure you guys can do better... 8 Quote

+allenjb42 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Gopher, I don't care if you're passing waypoint 8, I'm trying to connect to your drogue! Quit turning and just fly straight! Edited July 16, 2017 by allenjb42 4 Quote
+allenjb42 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Posted July 18, 2017 While the KA-6Ds are busy refuelling the second wave of strikers and the F-14 CAP flights, a thirsty A-6E gets a post-strike top up from a buddy-equipped A-7E 9 Quote
+allenjb42 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Posted July 23, 2017 Something's not quite right there.... How fast is the tanker flying? I think that there is a minimum speed to exceed for the boom to deploy. Also, you are going to need a drogue fitted or your Mirage F.1s aren't going to be able to plug in. Quote

(pic pooof) I used an old WOE tanking msn file (RAF F4 tanker by comrpnt) and made a quick conversion...tanker speed is too low And the C-135F's we have has no basket extension, unfortunately ... but it was some good formation flying anyway 1 Quote

+allenjb42 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Air Force One tanking from Marcfighter's KC-10 (with an excellent skin by daddyairplanes) And from YAP's KC-10 Edited July 31, 2017 by allenjb42 3 Quote
+NIELS Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Wow - Thats some extreme bank angle! Heavies maintained 30 degree bank in the AR orbit turns. Only saw it more aggressive during instructor school with the 'BUFF'/instructor crew. 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) great shots, but the first KC-10 is marcfighters iirc, not v2k. i can not recall who made the skin...... also reminds me gotta get crackin on teh 747-100/200s. (sigh...) Edited July 30, 2017 by daddyairplanes 1 Quote

Only saw it more aggressive during instructor school with the 'BUFF'/instructor crew. Maybe the VC-25 pilot was an ex-BUFF crew and wanted to practice AR under extreme conditions? Or more likely I miscalculated my waypoints when setting up the mission and rendezvoused with the tanker after it reached it's last waypoint and started to orbit! great shots, but the first KC-10 is marcfighters iirc, not v2k. i can not recall who made the skin...... also reminds me gotta get crackin on teh 747-100/200s. (sigh...) Post edited to give credit to Marcfighters, and to the unknown skinner! Looking forward to the 747 skins - there are plenty here to keep you busy for a while! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_747_operators Quote
+NIELS Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Silly me - Gotta quit taken things so seriously......................30 degrees is boring! This is SF2 (series) so tear it up 'Babe' - pretty good flyin for the POTUS's jet. Quote
+Crusader Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 D-704 .. where can I acquire one... Quote
