This is REALLY good to see progress on A/A Refueling, but I was a little concerned by the way it seems to "lock" the aircraft into place on the boom. That may be nice for a simplified refueling mode, but I would personally love to see the basket/hose moving realistically when connected and have no "magnetic" attraction to it. I'm sure that would be a programming challenge, but the reward of being able to bump the basket away with the probe, or drive forward and make the hose bend, would be just fantastic. Are there plans to continue developing this?
