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.

Yes, you're one of the many that discovers it. I have posted a video about it on youtube.

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

That's neat. I'll have to try it out sometime.

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??

Answered

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