ga5con Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 I' working on a mission which I can play with friends and we'll have aerial refuelling. When I put AI planes to refuel from the KC-130 it allows both to refuel at the same time (one basket under each wing). But with players it won't happen, when the second requests refuelling the tanker refueses. It there a way to get this done?
razo+r Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 I don't see why players should not be able to refuel from both ends. Can you retry with the KC-135MPRS? Because I know for sure that it's possible there.
ga5con Posted September 30, 2023 Author Posted September 30, 2023 @razo+r we tried that one as well.... Just to clarify, when we request rejoin both get authorised but when one is "ready pre contact" the tanker releases the drogue under left wing. Then if the second player also says "ready pre contact" the tanker replies with "return contact" and won't release the second drogue.
buur Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 where is the second plane when says "ready pre contact"? The answer suggest that he is in the wrong zone. As I remember right, the second plane had to be behind the right wing of the tanker.
ga5con Posted September 30, 2023 Author Posted September 30, 2023 @buur I was pretty close to the wing, pretty much mirrored position of my friend being refueled. What I haven't tried tho was to be by the left wing where you normally have to be when alone. I'll give it a go but if anyone else has another solution would appreciate it.
razo+r Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 Just be a bit behind the wing on the respective side. You don't have to be all too close to it.
WizzRD Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 It´s been a while since we last did that as we now fly the F-15, but back then the first one has to go to the left basket and once he got the "cleared contact" message the next one was asking for refueling for the right side (he can move into position already tho ). Worked then and I´d imagine it still does.
rob10 Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 Should work if you're in correct position on right wing. IMHO they have the zones skewed too far right currently -- for the left wing you need to be inside the engines (i.e. a fair bit right of the basket) and IIRC you need to be equally right of the basket on the right wing. Try that position and see if they clear you. If you're inside the engine on the right wing you're likely too far left for where it wants you to be.
ga5con Posted September 30, 2023 Author Posted September 30, 2023 THank you all for you the help....it worked. It was the positioning, the one on the right has to be much closer than on the left....but at least we know. Thanks again.
