I’m having great difficulties with this tutorial.
I’ll preface this by stating I have watched several videos on this procedure, and it has never looked as it does when I use this tutorial.
The first problem I have is that the aircraft constantly pulls to the left. It will not fly straight. The second problem I have is that when I reach the tanker the aircraft is constantly pitching up and down. I know there’s jet wash from the engines, but, again, I have never seen such violent pitching up and down in any BMS refueling video.
I tried a “hands off” experiment with the navigation scenario. Not a problem flying straight. I then tried using the same wind conditions, 320 at 13 knots, instead of 178 at 13 knots. In the refueling tutorial the aircraft continued to pull left.
Is there some kind of issue with this scenario, or is it just meant to be like this?
1. Make sure your stick is centered and give it a small deadzone so your heartbeat doesn’t throw you off course.
2. Trim you aircraft to fly straight before you reach the tanker.
3. follow radio calls
4. look at your flightpath marker not the plane. This is usually what happens with everyone at first.
