AFT02 Practice Mission - The instructor doesnt recognize the contact

[VIIC1941]

In practice mission 1, when I connect  to the tanker,  the instructor says "there you go ! contact !" and then "well done".

 

However in practice mission 2, when I connect to the tanker,  the instructor says nothing. After I completed 6 refuelings lasting 15+ seconds each, he still says  nothing. When I left the tanker, he says "Are you giving up?". After I landed and shut down, he says "Well, you did poorly".

 

How to get him to recognise the contact?

That sounds like a problem with the triggers.  I'll check the mission and ensure they are identical to mission 1 (they should be).

Please ensure you do not have any MODS installed as they have been found to impact triggers in some missions and campaigns.

After replaying dozens of times, the instructor finally recognised the contact. I took this extremely valuable opportunity and completed the mission.

 

Just now I replayed the mission again, and he couldn't recognise the contact as before.

 

I don't know how the triggers work, but luckily I passed the mission.

That's very weird.  They shouldn't be that inconsistent.  If it happens again or on a different mission please post a trk file and we can investigate further.
