Is air refueling capable with the F-18
-
Are there drouge capable tankers for the F-18 in 4.33?
-
No drouge.
Tip-to-tip …. as it ever was. Works fine. There’s already a thread on it somewhere.
-
Tip-to-tip……Are you kidding???:???: Works - but not very realistic/immersive! For all the work done in 4.33 you’ed think an A-3, S-3, KC-10, KC-135, or 135 MPRS tanker would have a drogue!..C_MON MAN!!!

Un-happy with what you have? or I am misunderstanding you post (?)

I do want to express my appreciation to the BMS Team for their outstanding effort and sacrifice for BMS 4.33. I relies some things may not be finished or implemented yet, but a drogue system doesn’t seem too daunting of a fix or mod for this program. Please accept my apology if this is not so, I don’t have the know how nor technology of this program to be a serious criticizer of this capability.
Thanks for an outstanding product BMS Team……BRAVO!

Probe/Drogue AAR is not to be expected anytime soon. Do not hold your breath on that.
-
Again……Thank you for a great air combat sim experience. Just wishing for additional immersion/capabilities.

I’m sure the community would like to see one too, how about you make it if it’s not that daunting?

If it were easy, don’t you think it would be done? Not to mention, 1.) what we get is FREE and from countless hours of others’ free time, and 2.) this is, after all, an F-16 centric sim.
I strongly suggest accepting what you have and being happy with it …. unless you are going to offer to ‘fix’ it?

I did not come here to joust with the developers of BMS or its members. I take back the daunting statement if it offends anyone. If a thick skin is not part of air combat simming I stand corrected! I was just wondering how after the great accomplishment of 4.33 changes/development probe/drogue AAR was left out? It has been done in other simulations older than Falcon 4.0 & BMS. As stated in my previous post - I DO NOT have the programs or knowledge of mod development! I was simply wondering/wishing for this capability in this OUTSTANDING product! My post was neither shameful nor foul!..…If it makes you mad - So be it! Other than that - Thanks again BMS Team for a fine product. I have plenty of patience and can wait as long as necessary for this AR method as I bet there are plenty of USN, foreign receiver sim flyers who hope for the same capability! As to the offended…Have a nice day! To the BMS Team…Well Done!

I’m sure many ‘wish’ for it (myself included). There is a place for wishes: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23833-ff-you-could-have-one-thing-in-the-next-update-it-would-be

Not a problem, we all have thick skin here but just like your post, I was simply throwing the ball back in your court.

One more kuddo for the BMS Team - I think it has been a daunting task with all versions of BMS for Falcon 4.0……Much appreciated!!!

With that, I whole heartedly agree!
Dev’s all the way to end-users! -
fyi
having a realistic drogue is extremly complicated.
think about drogue movement when AC is moving…. has to be managed like a real rope in 3 directions.
of course we could make a simplistic fixes rope with only 3 dofs but this is not the way BMS works. so until we found a good way to make it, we dont
