Spt Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Hello guys, An old bug is now corrected : there is no more unlimited fuel for clients after an air refuelling :thumbup: And as mentionned in product description on DCS website, the main center tank doesn't refill when the refuel door is open:thumbup: Now we need a little improvement: if all fuel tanks are not full, the tanker doesn't call for "transfer complete" and "clear to disconnect" even if fuel stop filling, so at this time we have to force the disconnection and call for "cancel the air refuel" . Seems to be not a good procedure :smartass: Is it possible to improve that, when the fuel stops to refill, there is a "transfer complete" from the Tanker? Thanks for answer :smilewink: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SDsc0rch Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 i thought there was something odd - thx for posting also fuel related.. when i dump fuel, and then stop dumping fuel, i get a very slow roll to the left - when i check fuel quantities, there's more fuel in the left wing tank than the right, thus making an imbalance that's unusual because the CAS should be able to account for that so.. two things, 1) fuel dumps at unequal rates between left and right tanks and 2) the CAS system is failing to correct for a slight weight imbalance the uneven fuel dump rate was fixed for a while (previous patch) but now its back --- in fact, after dumping it used to slowly roll right - now its left another note - i can't seem to trim it out - i either don't trim enough, or i trim it just a slight amount too much... in either case, you're left with a slight roll : / but (!) i'm glad to see the continual work being done on the F-15C MASSIVE "thank you" to the team still working to bring this bird to full spec! 8) i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
104th_Maverick Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 there is no more unlimited fuel for clients after an air refuelling :thumbup: Sadly this is incorrect, this bug still exists in the sim. To get unlimited fuel you need to connect with the tanker and fill to 100% without disconnecting, once full, your fuel will be unlimited. <- When connecting as a client in a MP server!

Spt Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 I will retry ;) But before the last update when you disconnect the fuel was filling permanently :) still for clients ++ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Spt Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 And 100% is now impossible because you don't refill the inner center tank when the refuel door is open;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Spt Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Ok I confirm the bug, If you bring external tank and proceed for air refuel before it's empty, you can refuel for 100% and tanker call for disonnect and now you are fuel unlimited :( 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Spt Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 In the last version of DCS we can't refill the external center tank. :( I don't test with external wings tanks. I was client in multiplayer session. It was an old bug but now on duty :( Thanks ++ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Spt Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Same bug with wings external tanks :( So now we can't refill external tanks during an air refuel ! ++ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Hardcard Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I can confirm all this. Air refuels get stuck at 68% (around 9000 pounds) when flying the F15, this happens with both US tankers (Shell and Texaco). Also, external tanks can't be refilled. I don't get why the central tank can't be refilled when the fuel door is open, what's the point of refueling, then? I haven't tried to dump fuel with the F15, but I'll try next time I play DCS. It would be nice to see these bugs fixed in DCS 2.0 (whenever it comes) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Spt Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Seems to be corrected on 1.2.15 Not yet tested for me ++ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Spt Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Still unlimited fuel after full air refuel on 1.2.16 Client tested only, not on single player or host ++ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sslechta Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Yup, I tested by fueling with an almost full tank to replicate.

madyogi Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 1.2.16 Yes, with or without tanks. bug exists... Unlimited fuel after successful on-air refueling, fuel does not drop when flying, does not even drop after when repairing the plane, later on the ground...
Doum76 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Still unlimited fuel after full air refuel on 1.2.16 Client tested only, not on single player or host ++ I just encounted this bug also, but trying it in SP or as HOST might bring another problem, i got into MP 2 days ago because as SP or HOST there is a bug with the boom, you need to connect on the right spot as if the operator doesn't work and help you out, so it need to be a pefect connection as you need to bring the door right to the boom's tip, as long as i'm concern, i am way from acheiving a full refueling as i can't even connect more than 1 minute without disconnecting and sometimes it takes me ages to get a singel connection with this bug.
