Spikefinch Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Is there a way to force your flight group to land and reload? I landed at a blue field with my F15 and only one of my guys finally landed and then disappeared. Is there a command to make them land and reload? Come on guys, you called "Bingo", not me.:helpsmilie:

Spikefinch Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Kind of sucks. What is the whole point of yelling "bingo" if you not gonna come back out and play. Can they do a tanker refuel at least? Oh... F15... LOL!!!! How about the A10's? can they? Edited January 31, 2018 by Spikefinch
feefifofum Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Nope...and the point of them telling you is so you can either send them to a tanker, which they will return from, or send them home before they die. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC
Spikefinch Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Would be nice if they could land, refuel/restock and take off from any blue base. kind of like real life and all Edited February 1, 2018 by Spikefinch
feefifofum Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 You're right. Every airbase is equipped to rearm and refuel any type of aircraft in under 2 minutes in the real world and send it right back into the fray. You are obviously an expert in USAF/USN/USMC SOPs. ;) Try asking some of the ammo guys around here how long it really takes to load a bomb and perform all of the necessary checks...or how long before a plane flies again if it gets hit in combat. I guarantee you it's more than a 3 minute repair and 2 seconds per pylon. If you want to be able to land and go back out with a full flight of AI, add a second group of planes with the same flight plan at another field. The wingmen won't spawn until you occupy the lead slot. If you're crying "realism" it's more likely another flight would relieve you anyway. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC
Spikefinch Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Well, thanks for the sarcastic reply. I needed that. I do understand the time issue. Seems DCS is not following that as it is, so, direct your anger at them, not me. No need to bring your fight to me. My point was if you can land and rearm/refuel/ why can't they. Same plane, same load out, same fuel. That in it self seems silly.
feefifofum Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Sarcasm begets sarcasm. I don't code for ED, but my guess is they can't because that's a bunch of extra AI programming that ultimately doesn't serve much point when you can just make another flight.

Exorcet Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 There is a sort of workaround in switching to another flight (select a plane in F2 view, and press RAlt+J I think) to switch to that plane. You would have to make a copy of your flight before flying the mission. If your mission has triggers, the new flight needs to be handled by those triggers too.

Spikefinch Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 reload? really? I need to look into that. That is what I need.
