DCS 2.5.1.16978 Update 1

 

Probe passes straight through the basket instead of being guided in to the connector.

Wonder if this has been fixed in this latest patch? Guess not. At least according to Release notes for AV8

Well, why should it? The issue is mentioned in the Harrier change log as it applies to the Harrier.

On a funy note:

 

 

 

I found out by msitake while trying to have a Hornet AI to refuel to it, while he was refueling in empty space way above the basquet extracted down, i presumed after a few seconds it showed the refueling spot, which is where the basket is when the probe is retracted before pre-contact, as if the refueling spot just doesn'T drop folowing the basket on extracting, all that time looking at the AI i was saying « you damn stupid AI what are you doing » then relaised it was then way interlligent, refueling at the spot the baskquet gives fuel :P Again, AI made me look stupid :)

I think this bug still exists.  In the new Hormuz Freedom campaign (Mission 04), I tried multiple times to refuel with the KC-135.  I saw my probe going through the basket each time and never connecting to the fuel hose.  Can anyone else confirm you're having problems?  This is with latest OB version dropped today (April 6).
