DCS F-4E AIR REFUELING OVER CANOPY BOW
Ойындар
How to adjust seat and cockpit camera to get a full view of the director lights when refueling the F-4E in DCS.
I also demonstrate a single-throttle technique to mitigate trim changes and potential for porpoising.

Hey Justin thanks for checking it out!
The F4 was really the easiest one so far for tanking. I don’t even need the lights and only listen to jester to get me into position.

instead of moving the camera back, there are multiple types of center view keybinds. just snaps back to center quick and easy

Absolutely-you can make a custom camera as well. I wouldn’t recommend moving the camera back, just up
Where’s the KC-135A? Basically just different 3D engine models, thrust and fuel consumption rates.

Hey Andrew - thanks for checking out the video and commenting! Good question; my guess is that when DCS was put together, the R model was the only KC-135 (Active Duty) model in use. The A and E refuelers started getting phased out in 1985 with the introduction of the CFM-56 engines. I only flew R models - but I did log sim time in an A-model simulator (once) when going through CCTS. At that time, E models where phased out from Active Duty to Guard/Reserve units, so I'm not sure when the last A-model flew in a mission capacity.

@@kojakgaming3519 Wow! You flew the KC-135Rs! It would just be a cool thing to see the A models. More likely to match up with the F-4 and other 60’s & ‘70’s aircraft. Seems like it would be fairly easy for ED to modify the R back into an A and have both. 🙂

@@Andrew-13579 I agree, it would be cool, or at least novel to have A-models. But, for what it's worth, I did refuel F-4s as late as 2000. Granted, they were NOT USAF, but German Luftwaffe birds. And they were amazing.
Btw in VR there is no need to faff around with the camera position. Simply raising the seat is enough to see over the canopy bow. The F-4 is one of the easiest aircraft to refuel and that includes the Hornet. It's just so incredibly stable in formation. Filled her up in one go on the first attempt.

Spot on Derby - it is a great stable (and heavy) airframe. First thing I did when I got it was AAR. Then I had to do an old school fix to fix on the HSI!
