Refueling Bug

[grant977]

Don’t know if this is tomcat specific or dcs thing. On the tanker today had to pause the sim and then after resume jet would not take anymore fuel.

I backed off recycled the probe and reconnected and no joy, then backed off recycled again to tanks on mode and still nothing.

Did you the get the "contact, you're getting fuel" confirmation"?

[grant977]

Yes all three times I got contact we’re taking fuel. No move to on the gushes except the first time before game was paused.

I just paused while taking fuel and was able to resume no problem. Are you able to reproduce it?

[grant977]

Hmm I will give that a try when I get back in town.

Last night tried Caucasus AAR training mission in latest beta and worked flawlessly despite interrupting it with Pause key or Esc.

Can anybody think of a way the player can be 'punished', if you've neglected to switch to Left Engine Air Source during refueling?  For example, if you've forgotten to switch your Oxygen on you'll see the effects of hypoxia above 20k feet.  It's a nice touch. The crew coughing perhaps, to indicate fuel fumes in the cockpit?

My vote for Jester's snarky comment about the kerosene smell There's no other real effect afaik.

Of course!  That's the way to go.  The crew would be wearing masks afterall, so my coughing idea doesn't make a lot of sense.

Jester can say something sarcastic like, "Anybody got a light?".
