Yes, I figured you had to do something like that :) I think it would be impossible to hand-fly into refueling position, change views and hit F3 while still in refueling position. The refueling envelope is still set pretty loose. You can use an instrument similar to the "refuel.xml" instrument in the T-38 model to give a visual indication of the refueling envelope. It just checks the property: <property>/systems/refuel/contact</property> <value>true</value> I think it best to keep the envelope loose. Refueling is not easy, and it's even harder in the sim. Also, there is only one envelope defined, and it is for any refueler- KC-10, KC-135, KA-6, and many others, so an accurate envelope would be impractical. Also, making contact with the drogue (or boom) will look weird, because in real life the drogue follows the receiver aircraft around as he moves within the envelope. This would be very difficult to model realistically.
