External fuel tanks don't refuel during aerial refueling


Recommended Posts

Posted

Having the issue as well, I played mission 03 of the campaign today, did not change the payload, the tanker would not fill up beyond 3160kg.

 

Interestingly, it would also not tell me that refueling is complete or to disconnect, so while waiting for the tanks to fill up I broke my record for minutes plugged into the tanker without disconnecting :D

Yes, when you start from the ground (dark & cold or hot on the runway):

- the DETOT value doesn't go past 3160kg

- external tank empty lights remain ON (I'm not sure yet if external tanks do refuel or not)

- if you have dropped external tanks, you won't have disconnect message when internal tank is full.

 

In campaign you start from the ground, so you will have the bug.

 

It used to work fine before 2.5, so something must have changed...

The air refuel problem after a ground start with external fuel tanks (event center one) didn't work with 2.5 Update 4. I will test it ASAP with update 5 but no news on official update infos (DCS or RAZBAM), so .... :cry:

Tested in multiplayer last evening: not fixed.

I've made some tests in SP and MP:

After a start in the air with a fuel level at 20% (mission editor), with the central fuel tank, the air refueling works and fill my fuel tank.

I have stayed in flight and wait that my fuel tank is empty. At this time, the air refueling doesn't fill my fuel tank...

Some said, that tanker won't refuel empty drop tanks, but will refuel them, if they have some fuel left. Anybody care to test this?

 

We do that all the time.

Takeoff with 50% internal fuel and 2 tanks, refuel at the first WP, and as long as your tanks still hold some fuel at that time you can top it off to 11600 or so.

 

Edit: Didn´t realize this is in the M2000 section until after I hit send. We do that in the Harrier, but I guess it´s the same (bug/ feature) for the Mirage.

Yes, same problem.

From what I understood the problem affect planes capable of AA refueling with external tanks.

I hope that the problem will be solved quickly because it's still very embarrassing for long missions

Tested in 2.5 RC (C&D, KC-130), the same problem, only internal fuel.

Please fix it, its the very important feature.

Its strange that from January the problem isnt solved...

Nice to see new pictures of MiG-19, terrain ect.but what about this?

This is an ED related bug and has nothing to do with Razbam. Several aircraft are hindered by this bug at the moment.

(only throttle + stick and calm down :) ). Magic is: don't touch any curves, death zones on joystick (settings) for M2000C.

I found the same problems after the new patch. Can refuel external tanks as long as fuel remains in the tanks, but once they are gone they will not refill. Only tested in MP

Its a bug from DCS side, not only M2KC.

Hi,

This is a big limitation and nothing is done !!! Not very cool :mad::mad::mad::mad:
