Bearfoot Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 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?
BonerCat Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 It's a DCS issue. Just jettison your tanks before landing, or do 2 rearmings, one with no tanks, 2nd one with tanks on Modules: F-14, F-15C, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, A-10C, A-10C II, AV-8B N/A, MiG-29, Su-33, MiG-21 Bis, F-5E, P-51D, Ka-50, Mi-8, Sa 342, UH-1H, Combined Arms Maps and others: Persian Gulf, Syria, Normandy, WWII Assets, NS 430 + Mi-8 NS 430

IronMike Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 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. 1 Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
ITR1102 Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Found this thread looking for an answer to this issue. Is there a plan to fix this given how long it has existed? Refueling in the air does fill the external tanks.
Ivandrov Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Not likely, it affects all modules with external tanks that I am aware of in DCS.
Despayre Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Drop the tanks, take the decreased drag win and move on. I'm not updating this anymore. It's safe to assume I have all the stuff, and the stuff for the stuff too.

There are I think 2 that don't have this Problem. One is the M-2000C, the other one I forgot, and the F-16 too if you count it in with the workaround.
