icecold951 Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Is there any addressment to the refueling issues this sim has? F18s crash into the back of the tanker, going in like they want the boom. I've infalso now seen a case of infinite refueling, or so it seems. During a mission of evacuating a base, I sent my flight to the tanker to refuel. They never finish. I have no idea if they got fuel at all.
Flappie Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) The infinite refuel bug was acknowledged by ED. Now, can you please attach a crash track showing a Hornet going for the boom? Edited June 24, 2021 by Flappie ---

I see it happening a lot though, on four plane flights. I have to tell my guys to rejoin when I see it happening. I can do nothing about it when it is an AI flight. I never saw that report about infinite refueling. Do they actually get fuel? I'll click the link to see what it says.
Flappie Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) I meant a "track", not a "crash" and neither a screenshot. The goal is to be able to reproduce the issue to show it to ED devs. The AI refueling issue is that most of the times, the aircraft cannot aim for the basket, thus it is not refueling.

Panther 2-3 and 2-4 both did it. They approach like going for the boom, then fly into the tail of the tanker. Strangely enough, they didn't when I tried without external tanks. Straight up air spawn for all participants. Tanker mission and refueling way point. Track 1 attached. I also have the mission file available if useful. 1.trk
Flappie Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Thank you. I'm able to reproduce this bug using your track. I'm now trying to reproduce it using my own mission. ---
Flappie Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) You're right, it's something to do with external fuel tanks. I'm able to reproduce this bug in a new mission. All it takes is a flight of four with external tanks. Edited June 25, 2021 by Flappie ---

So it may be changed in 2.7, but not a new bug. In that article about infinite refueling, someone noticed that issue is also related to external tanks. Edited June 25, 2021 by icecold951

Any mission I make involving more than a two ship AI flight I just know is going to glitch out. With my own flight, I have to order them to jettison weapons, no jettison tank command available, and then refuel. And I never share a tanker with the AI. This glitch and others does make making good missions a lot harder. I still make them with orders to go to a tanker, for future hoped for fixes. But currently those planes don't survive.
Flappie Posted October 14, 2021 Posted October 14, 2021 I've just re-tested it to be sure, and it's fixed. ---
