BrackishWater Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Forgive me if this has been posted already. Okay, so I took a flight of 4 F-15's. I setup my 3 wingmen to have 1, 2, and 3 fuel tanks respectively to see who'd run out of gas first. I'd assumed that the guy with 1 fuel tank would bail out first. However, all 3 wingmen reported low fuel and bugged out at the exact same time. So what gives? How hard would it have been to program the AI planes to utilize fuel tanks?! Is there a workaround or trick to making the wingmen use fuel tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper101 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 uhhh are you running 1.12? cause i am pretty sure fc and the upgrade takes care of all fuel and guage bugs. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force_Feedback Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 No it doesn't, try flying a mig with a centre tank and 21% of fuel, then jettinon the tank, and keep flying on your indicated 1600kg... Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrackishWater Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Still Broken!!! okay, i installed the patch and it's officially still broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrackishWater Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 New Patches? Is anyone actively developing anything for Lock On at the moment? I'd love to see the bugs ironed out one day. It just sucks that this sim is so great and realistic yet i can't even take my wingmen out on a mission and back home because they run out of fuel they are SUPPOSED to have.

reborn Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 are you running 1.12 Flaming Cliffs or just the patch 1.02? Lock On:Black Shark is expected for this fall... so yes, there is still development going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Guess the only fix for this is to just make an airborne tanker available and hope your wingmen have a2a refueling capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrackishWater Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 In-flight refueling Well if I have 3 wingmen, then you mean make 3 tankers available? That is, assuming they won't crash into each other while they fight over who's tanker is who's. Not to mention if everything goes as planned, it costs me about 20-30 minutes. When I all I really need is for them to correctly use fuel. These are some basic bugs you'd think would be worked out by now. No, the reality is that they don't always make it home. But therein lies another problem. Once they are low enough on fuel, they head for home anyway and leave me to die in battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 They will all refuel from the same tanker...its not THAT inefficient you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just sucks that this sim is so great and realistic yet i can't even take my wingmen out on a mission and back home because they run out of fuel they are SUPPOSED to have. The chances of these things being worked out in BS aren't that great.. BS is a AtG Heli sim and developers might not work on fast movers on this one.. These type bugs should be sorted out the next stand alone, at least thats what the developers have said.. ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrackishWater Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Refueling They will all refuel from the same tanker...its not THAT inefficient you know. Having to refuel when I shouldn't have to is inefficient. So I'd like them to refuel as fast as possible. Not to mention the AI aircraft will likely run into each other and die trying to figure out who's going to refuel first. And even if they do make it through the mission they will likely kill each other on the landing approach. The odds of taking 4 planes out and them all coming home is pretty slim if you ask me.
