reported AI in flight refueling problems since 2.9 OB

[2circle]

I've noticed since the 2.9 release that in-flight refueling is not going well for AI aircraft.  I've noticed this with the F-14 as well as the F-18 off both KC-135 MPRS and S-3B(T).  I am able to plug without problem, but have noticed my AI wingman is now often jousting with the basket.  In some instances, even after I command him to "hit the tanker" he simply continues to fly formation off the tanker and makes no attempt to refuel.  This results in him taking much longer than normal, and in some cases, he never stops trying to refuel.  I'm also noticing this with other AI aircraft that are not in my flight.  Both day and night, regardless of skill level.  This makes many missions that require in flight refueling unplayable.  Below are some screenshots of the AI's refueling probe actually going through the basket.  This would help explain why the refueling is taking so long (as reported elsewhere).  Is anyone else noticing this?  I'm playing with OB, on VR BTW.

We need a short DCS track, thanks.

Thank you for your response Flappie.  I made very simple missions with a section of fighters (both with the same fuel load of about 45%) trying to refuel off a KC-135MPRS to illustrate the issue.  As you'll see, they both join up fine, but the issues with the plane on the right side begin almost immediately.  He plugs multiple times, and sometimes the basket appears to go through his plane.  The behavior is not normal and happens very frequently since updating to 2.9.

Here's the same issue with a section of Hornets...

Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide to help resolve this.

Thank you! The issue is now reported internally.
