syzygy Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 I got a mission failed at the end of mission 4 as I did not plug with the tanker. However I had more than 8000lb of fuel left when I was 20nm from the carrier. I also did not get any prompt to tank. Is refueling really necessary in this mission or am I doing something wrong ?

Hi, as I set out in the brief the refuel is to top as required only. It is more likely that, depending how the mission was flown, your wing man will need the fuel as it takes more fuel to catch up and keep in formation especially if the lead does not fly with him in mind. So the top up is required to ensure your wing does not run out of fuel on the way back which can easily happen. You do not need to take a full tank in fact you could just make a brief connection and wait alongside for your wing man. More importantly is why you did not get a signal to tank. Have you got a Tacview of the flight that would be very useful? Did you have to make one or two attempts to take the image within 20nm? Did you get the photo is fine and to RTB message? Did you get the message that the Migs were calling it off? The flag system is quite complicated with this one that is why I need as much detail as possible to track a issue.

Hi I dont know how to upload a tacview file. I had to do two attempts for the picture, since the first one was a bit more than 20nm away. I got the photo is fine and I also got that the migs are bugging out. When I reached less than 30nm of the carrier I got a flurry of talking between me and my wingman then I got the failure message.

Just to check the failure message was for not tanking?
