Summary0000067: AAR TE with no collision, tanker rapidly moving back and forth
DescriptionApproaching the boom in the refuelling TE, boom operator says Forward, and then the tanker flashed between very close - like I could touch the boom close - and further away. This continued until I broke contact and rejoined.

Relevant settings:
Korea (obvs, 'cos it's the TE)
Refuelling difficulty: Easy
Flight Model: Moderate
Invulnerability: Off
No Collisions: True
Smart Scaling: On, 0.2 minimum distance

Steps To ReproduceI've tried to reproduce and failed, but as I'm so rubbish at AAR, it could be completely reproduceable but my aircraft control is good enough.
TagsNo tags attached.

I have now been able to reproduce this. I've tried at Smart Scaling minimum distance 0.2 and 0.5, has made no difference. Next to try without SS at all.

With Smart Scaling off, the tanker suddenly jumps close, once. And then holds that viewpoint/position.

Refuelling difficulty: Easy

Those modes are not really maintained and supported anymore

Can this be reproduced with realistic refueling difficulty?

If easy difficulty is not supported, and broken, it might be worth removing. In that case, this could be closed as wontfix, I guess. That is assuming this issue does not exist with realistic refuelling mode instead of easy.

Thanks, both. I hadn’t considered that it might be related to the difficulty settings rather than some of the graphical settings. It was set to easy because I suck at BMS in general, AAR in particular. I’ll change the difficulty to realistic and see what happens tonight, report back. Hopefully it’s a won’t fix as it’s a non-issue, though I guess one easy way of “fixing it”, if it is the difficulty setting, would be to remove the refuelling difficulty option?

Can confirm that I can NOT reproduce this on realistic settings. Also, can't manage the refuelling, but that's a bug with me not with BMS ;-)

Also to confirm, that all the anonymous comments and comments by rubbra are the same person; keep forgetting that I'm not logged into the bug tracker on my linux machine.

Closing as WONTFIX as bug only affects unsupported difficulty modes.

Thanks for reporting, and good luck with the refueling practice. If you get frustrated, I suggest doing some formation practice first to shake things up a bit. Check out the Fast FKG: http://flyfast.org/sites/all/docs/FAST_FKG_2.0.pdf

Formation Knowledge Guide. This more than anything else solidified my formation skills. Thing is refuelling is just dissimilar formation flying.
