KC-135DBA Basket still bugged (EDITED)

[sushy73]

From the Razbam's facebook page:

" There seems to be an internal DCS problem with the KC135BDA. Apparently DCS cannot reliable determine the basket position for a tanker using both boom and basket in the same refueling point, which is what the KC135BDA uses.

ED is looking at the problem and will create custom functions for handling such setup."

Thank you for that info.

Hi Razbam's team :).

Any news about this ?

Thanks

[Zarma]

Did someone test if working yet ?

KC-130 in not difficult, the worst is the S3, took me 1 hour to get 6.000 lbs of fuel.

Any update on the KC135BDA

[Tuuvas]

Not an update, but here's a quick video I put together explaining what can be observed in-game from the KC-135 BDA phantom basket bug and a potential... workaround? Sorta? Not really...

This is an asset we've needed in DCS for years, hope it gets fixed soon!

[Silvern]

RAZBAM, what is the status on this issue?

RAZBAM, what is the status on this issue?

 

razbam is waiting for ED to fix this issue, nothing is going to change until then.

[Zarma]

Both tanker they added are bugged. The KC135 with its basket and the KC130 with the fuel amount.

KC-130 isn’t bugged, it doesn’t the optional cargo fuel tank.

[Zarma]

It has the same amount of fuel than the C130 so almost useless in that configuration...

 

A simple lua modification could simulate the cargo fuel tank.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Almost useless?

 

We are using the KC-130 in our MP Squad missions and never ever had a problem to refuel at any given time.

[Zarma]

Strange for me it often RTB because out of fuel.

[ChuckJäger]

Has there been any update on the KC135BDA fix? I know this must be pretty low on the priority list for ED, understandably so - but it'd be nice to have an idea as to what their thoughts are on the subject..

[Lt. Scribbles]

Could use the Kc-135BDA on the server. So would like to hear some news regarding this aswell.

[Eldur]

One thing I totally fail to understand is how the hose is connected to the boom. Shouldn't it be right on it's tip instead of, what it seems like, floating just next to it? Looks kinda strange...

 

[Lordzarj]

The connector is offset, see: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boeing_KC-135E_boom_drogue_adapter.JPEG

[Deano87]

But yeah.. Progress on getting the BDA working would be good. KC130 barely has enough gas for two jets.

[Dun_Aenghus]

Agreed, this fix really can't come soon enough. We've needed this for years.

[Dutch Baron]

Hello ED,

 

Do you have an update on getting this fixed?

Thanks a lot for any response from ED.

[JagHond]

Please excuse me all here, I don't know if is this the correct topic to place this request... but would it be possible to add a full working lighting system to those -130 and -135 tankers both?

When refueling I can't actually see any, I don't know if perhaps there is something wrong in my installation.

 

With best regards.

[FATAL ERROR]

And they dont fix this yet..

[Rex854Warrior]

And they dont fix this yet..

 

Some Wintip baskets will be added in the mean time on the KC-135BDA, I don't think ED figured an easy solution to this problem.
