Hi everyone,

a quick questions for those among you who still fly any of the above mentioned freeware Phantom variants (whether fsx/fs9 doesn't matter too much):

Does any of the two models (excluding the alphasim Air Force variants) feature the extendable refueling probe?
I mean, that you can really extend it via a keypress and if so which key would it be?

Kind regards and thanks;

Oliver

The refueling probe works fine on the IRIS F-4 Phantom. Shift+E+2 does the trick.

refueling is flying formation - no big secret. In a hose/drogue system, try to keep the end of your probe in your peripheral vision, imagine putting your right shoulder (F-4) or foot (A-4) in the basket as you ease up on it. Don't stare at the basket - look at the whole tanker to keep a smooth position as you ease forward, fly up the catenary of the hose to the basket, not approaching it level.
