[Unable to call the tanker with F16 but works with F18]

Hi,

 

I created a very simple mission for training with refueling (1x F16 as player and KC135MPRS) with ME.

With F16, if i call the tanker, i don't have any response. Unable to refuel.

If a switch my aircraft and take a F18...repeat the same action, the tanker responds.

 

Tested with correct UHF 251.00. tested with easy communication/radio enabled too (in syria, basel al assad airport)

 

To recreate :

1) create a F16 on the airport ready to take off

2) Another KC135 (same country) (flying)

3) ask with F16 to call the tanker on 251.00 UHF. -> no response

4) switch to F18 on the ME

5) Retry to call the tanker from F18 -> works...

 

Maybe i did something wrong... (even if i used the easy radio option)

 

UPDATE : Tested with KC135 (not MPRS) and it works for him!

[NVG doesn´t work in the latest OB patch]

Did you ask in the radio menu to add the NVG ?

F8 -> Change Helmet Mounted device ?

 

Only available when you're at the airport.

 

It was like that for F16 few weeks ago but for F18, it's since the last update.

[Set Path function on tanker lost the "tanker -ref" properties of the waypoint]

Hi !

 

When you use Combined arms and try to move a tanker to another position (for long missions) when flying, the new waypoints lost the "tanker" property. Therefore, we cannot communicate with the tanker anymore (the option is removed from the communication menu).

 

Steps to reproduce :

1) in the ME, add a plane as "player"

2) add a tanker (kc 135) and create 2 waypoints.

In the ME, on the KC135, there is a specific property "Tanker -ref" (Type : Start Enroute Task, Action : Tanker)

 

3) Play the game.

4) communicate with the tanker, it works -> the communication menu is available

5) With combined arms, change the path (Set Path) of the tanker.

6) Try to recommunicate with him -> the communication menu is unavailable.

 

Is it possible for tankers only to keep this property?
