IIRC - most if not all of our fighter refuelings were performed in an orbit area, with all turns being to the left.

We’d orbit at the ARCP at best endurance (or thereabouts), then accelerate to 315 KIAS when a fighter flight rendezvoused with us. Our nav (we had them then) would make the conversion to KTAS.

@windnc60 said in A-G Mode -unable:

I would assume the Missile and Dogfight overrides are the culprit here. As I tried it this morning i brought it out of “override” and the RT MFD switched to A-G mode when I pressed the A-G button on the ICP. Go Figure, Many thanks to all.

That sounds reasonable. That’s why they’re called ‘override’ functions. I think it’s in the User Manual when crafting a TE that you set up your A-G parameters once airborne, then engage Missile Override until you reach the target IP.

You didn’t waste any time Cougar.
I downloaded it via torrent, and all seemed to work well.
Personally, I couldn’t help myself this time 'round. The first online fighter wing I joined (the long gone 388th VFW) used the Balkans Theater for its training fights, even after it switched from AF to BMS.

I’ve never had an engine overheat problem during or immediately after landing, even with 4.34.

@fish44 I also use Voice Attack.

I noticed that when I downloaded the update. I tried to post the same thing about it weeks ago, using this new site, but it never showed up.

According to step 2 of the inflight TFR checklist, you should be at 1,000 ft. According to your barometric altimeter, you’re over 3,500 ft.

Among other things, check to make sure your TE start time is at least, oh, 22 minutes before your scheduled takeoff time, then select RAMP as soon as you can after committing to the mission. Also, check the VICTORY CONDITIONS start and end times.

Hmph! Why the push for MSFS in a BMS dedicated section?

Though the actual flight is lost in the mists of time, my experience is still vivid. I participated in a ‘race’ one day online. It was a twisting flight path, with waypoints every few miles or so, low level through mountainous terrain. That was challenging enough, but we were also carrying munitions that restricted us to Cat III g-forces because our “finish line” was a target we had to bomb.

I managed to successfully navigate the course and hit my target, and had a case of the shakes during the relatively placid flight back to the home drome due to coming down from the adrenaline rush.

One would think that the sounds would not be noticeable unless the mike was hot.

I wore my helmet and mask on several tanker flights (just for the heck of it) and the noise was hardly noticeable.
