 |
|
So I'm doing the carrier practice one day, and notice a 737 fly by. Getting frustrated with trying to getting 5 landings in a row, I decide to mess around and catch up to the 737, only to find it's a "refueler". A couple weeks later, I decide to find out what it's all about, so I launched out, climbed up above the clouds and tooled around for a few minutes. Low and behold, here comes a 737 marked refueler in the mission compass. So I hit dump fuel to get rid of a bunch of fuel just to see what would happen. I closed the dump fuel switch, and hit the probe switch. I then joined up on the 737 like I was gonna refuel, nothing happened at first. Then I got a little closer and looked down at my fuel panel and BAM. There it was. My jet had been refueled, not all the way, but enough to notice a difference. So I took screenshots. Notice that the after screenshot does not show a full load for those who will accuse me of hitting cntr shift F. This actually works. I even duplicated to make sure I wasn't tripping out before this post. You have to get REALLY REALLY close to make it work, but it can be done. I have searched and googled and looked everywhere I knew to look to see if this was possible, and have come up with nothing until now. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at rob@healinghemp.com

| Nice tip, but many of us already have discovered that easter egg. |

| Yes, but will this work on all AI aircraft or just that one in the carrier practice? Is it something that's programmed into the F-18 itself or the AI aircraft? Anyone know?? |

| Just that one mission, and maybe other 3rd party ones, if you/someone can figure that out... |
