Redglyph Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) DCS 1.5.5.60503.215 Refueling/rearming does not produce a "cannot comply" anymore, but there are other issues. Mission with 20% initial fuel, 80% initial ammo, cold start. At the beginning, - 20% fuel and 80% ammo in load window => OK - fuel indicator shows about 25 gallons Refuel/rearm request to ground crew: - no confirmation when refueling is complete - no confirmation when rearming is complete - fuel indicator shows 37 gallons (I thought the lower tank made 38 gallons? pp. 116 vs pp. 81) - after rearming, only 80% ammo => rearming not done? - after refueling, only 83% fuel, seems consistent with values above, but 38+47 = 85, where could 17 additional gallons be stored? I tried with other ammo quantities, it simply remains the same after the "rearming". What's the button "5CW/4187"? Is that the one that shows the fuel content? ;) (pp. 116) EDIT I tried the same, with 20% initial ammo, but this time I fired some rounds before rearming. - fired the gun (I'm afraid I scared the ground crew...) - window shows 3% left ammo - required rearming to 100% => got the "rearming complete" => window shows 100% ammo Edited December 24, 2016 by Redglyph System specs: Win7 x64 | CPU: i7-4770K | RAM: 16 GB | GPU: GTX 980 Ti 6 GB | Thrustmaster HOTAS | MFG rudder pedals | SATA3 SSD | TrackIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 83% is the maximum amount of fuel for the Mk. IX with the wings we have About rearming, yes, i had once too a problem with rearming the ground crew refuelled me, but didn't rearm my guns... they were at about 40-60 % full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Also I've noticed your oxygen tank isn't topped up during re-arm either. If it's 1/4 full when u land, it remains at 1/4 full after the refuel. The ground crew guys also scream out 'hey, where are you going?' when you taxi out following a re-arm re-fuel.

Redglyph Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 83% is the maximum amount of fuel for the Mk.

Besides, those wing tanks usually had capacity for 30-33 gallons, not just 17. So I believe that's either a mistake, or something that should be explained somewhere in the manual, unless I missed it.
