Refueling -- External Tanks Not Filled: Bug or Not?

[Bearfoot]

So I've noticed a few times when refueling/rearming on the ground after a flight, the external tanks do not get filled. I have to remove the tanks and then go back to the rearming menu to add them again (the full versions not the empty ones).

 

Note that this is only AFTER a flight. The first time around, I add 2x full tanks (not the empty ones), and that works OK. I take off, fly around, do stuff, and land with the tanks empy. In the rearm/refuel menu, simply putting 100% fuel does not refill the tanks. Nor does re-adding the tanks in the menu. As I said, I have to fully cycle the tanks off and then on again.

 

I've noticed this happening in multiplayer on a land airbase, in which the initial spawn was a cold & dark start. Not explored other variations.

 

Does this happen to anyone else?

It happens to many aircraft for a long time.

It's a DCS issue. Just jettison your tanks before landing, or do 2 rearmings, one with no tanks, 2nd one with tanks on

Yup- no point in DCS to keeping your tanks when empty

For realism - a Tomcat never dropped its tanks. To avoid the bug, if you plan on rearming you either need to drop em before landing, or unarm them, before rearming new ones.
