Mission 11 refueling question

[Dentedend10]

Hi,

I’ve been shot down by the F16s in the mission. Now upon RTB, I get the message to refuel and once done, rejoin flight lead and press space. 
I refuelled up to around 6000 lbs, then tried to join flight lead (who were formation flying with the tanker as well) and press space. However, nothing happened. Kept flying with them for a while, but I could not get the mission to proceed and for the flight lead to RTB. 
I did take quite some time to refuel, so the text was gone by the time I finished. Could that have been the issue? Or I am supposed to refuel to full tank?

Great fun this campaign!

Thanks for the report! It's a DCS AI bug, nothing you or me can do about it. Already reported to ED. Your lead should break off as soon as you press spacebar.

@[ED]Obi this is exactly the one I reported to you.

PS: the tanker is there as a safety net. Manage your fuel carefully and you won't need to refuel. You got that message because you got too close to the tanker, which you're not supposed to, and the mission thought you were going for the tanker.

Got it, thank you! Must have been a coincidence then, as I was just following the lead through the waypoints, with enough fuel left. I think tanker was within 10 nm, that might have been it

I had that happen in Mission 4 last night.  The return route took us right next to the tanker and the flight lead formed up on the tanker and stayed there.  Not a big issue, just an odd bug that one.

That’s a dcs ai bug, they can’t stop their follow task. Reported to ED already.
