I heard that in DEAGU city is the best pizza place in S.KOREA, so i decided to drive my jet and try their pepperoni pizza.
Down the road i tried to use the bridges to pass over rivers, but all of them look like they are not “blended” to the ground, so my F-16 turned into a big ball of fire . . .
are all bridges behave like that, only vehicles can pass them but not aircraft ?
Not very serious subject but it is interest me why bridges configured like that.
Playing with a TE i made to explore different types of aircrafts that use AAR. I will update this subject from time to time.
Several types has graphics issues (connection point) that need to be fixed by the DEV team.
Things i found while making the tests :
Each model got its own AAR altitude/speed, so the tanker is changing its alt/speed according to the next aircraft in line.
Kc-10 gives “basket fuel service” only to one aircraft at a time . . . i don’t know if in RL tanker can refuel 2 at the same time . . .
Some models can do the initial connection during the tanker turnning phase and some don’t.
Enjoy 
Thank you BMS team for keeping this sim alive and updated
This BMS DEV team is the BEST !!!
Doing all this work for free and at their own time . . . respect to this dudes.
They keep this great simulator alive for such a long time and always listen to the community.
Thank you !!!
New update (using 4.36U1):
Checked all the “A’s” models (the blue ones, red ones will be tested later).
Again, few problems with some of the models.
A-10A/C - ok
AC-130H - AAR function is ok but there is problem with the graphic, not connected visually -
A-4E - problem : the aircraft trying to connect but never succeed , seems like he is in a loop, i waited 10min then i used my guns to move him out of the way . . . many others in the line -
i have more to update but need to wait to load more pictures (forum rules).
also experianced crashes when i was operated from JUNGWON AB.
The log stated that it was something to do to the parking.
I moved my operations to GIMPO, all is good now.
found it . . .
Rampage air-surface, supersonic cruise missile.
continued . . .
after the A-4SU got out of the way, the waiting aircrafts just continued to wait with no action.
Those models that had problem refueling must be “confusing” the AAR system and cuase problems to the next aircrafts in line.
So to end this mission with a blast i used the MD mode of the -120B, who was the “lucky winner” ? . . . -
Next update will be with the “B’s & C’s” models
My favorite aircraft now got a new weapon ?
Anyone knows what is this type of weapon ?
@MaxWaldorf my 75min suggestion is tested in the 4.36 KTO
campaign and did not noticed any issues.
I got more airbase aircraft parking which adds more realism.
Sure you can choose lower value then mine, but for me 10min is too low, airbase is always empty . . .
Next update : the F’s (Part 1)
F104C, F-111E, F-111F, F-117, F-14A, F-14A AGR, F-14B,F-14D - all AAR ok
(F-104DJ, F-104G, F-104J - don’t have AAR capability)
Next update : the E’s (no D’s)
E-2C, E-3A, E-8C, EA-18G, EA-18G (RAAF), EA-6B, EF-111A, EF-18M, Eurofighter - all AAR ok (E-2C & Eurofighter got a graphical issue in the connection point) -
1st time the tanker used its central refueling basket . . .
@Micro_440th from my experiance, u should contact the tanker at less the 8nm.
I test now all the models to see their AAR behavior ( link )
On my next test mission i will give it another check.
U should contact the taker at 7.9nm or less.
Also, check again u r on the right UHF fqn. of the tanker.
The C’s -
C-130H, C-141B, C-17, C-5, CF-188A - AAR ok
The C-160R NG (tanker) is the only c-160 that has AAR option (there are more 3 sub types of the C-160).
The problem with the C-160R NG is that its max speed is so low, 214kts/100% power . . . so it can not catch the kc-10 that its low AAR speed is 230kts.
So this type is stalling the next waiting aircrafts in line to refuel.
I will test it in the future with the kc-130 & C-160R NG (in tanker role) -
The B’s -
B1-B & B-2A - AAR ok
B-52G - AAR ok but graphically its not connected . . .
B-52H - AAR ok
Next update : remaining A’s models
A-6E, A-7E, AV-8B, AV-8B+ - All function ok in AAR
@white_fang this topic i started is mostly my interest in to see how every aircraft model behave in AAR.
I tested maybe 10% of the availble models and i found lots of problems, the ones that causes the AAR to stop its operating are the ones that really matters and i hope that DEV team will check them out.
The “graphical” problem are not that serious but i share anyway, maybe somebody can have a use in this knowledge.
Cheers

A-4E aggressor - AAR is ok but there is a graphic problem, not seem to be connected correctly -
A-4E PTM got the same problem as A-4E, not able to connect to the busket, so he got the same treatment from me :-). This model seem to make a big problem on the next waiting aircrafts, details ahead -
A-4SU as oppose to those A-4E that tried to connect, this model do not try even to connect, just stay at its place next to the tanker, so yeh, had to shoot him down -
waiting aircrafts -
