How to perform a mid-air refueling

This is also another optional sequence that will reward you with bonus points upon completion. This process requires gentle and precise adjustments. Similar to landing, avoid using the left stick to steer and use L1/R1 to control your yaw instead. As you approach the tanker, the diamond will get bigger. You have to make sure that the inner diamond stays within the outer diamond marker as you get near.

The lines will become solid green if you’re in the correct angle. If they become dotted, gently adjust your pitch and yaw until they turn solid.

When you’re near the tanker’s fuel nozzle, make the necessary minute adjustments until the “Hold Position” message appears in the middle of the diamonds. Don’t touch anything and wait for a few seconds while maintaining that position to complete the sequence. The final connection and approach will be done automatically after this point.
