reported earlier External tanks cannot be filled from the ground

[mobile83]

Hello,

On mirage 2000 and viper (maybe all planes but I haven't tested) when you have empty external tanks and you land to rearm and refuel it never fills the external tanks. 

I have to refuel without the tanks and then put them back. So now I jettison them before landing to avoid the hassle. 

Test in multiplayer. I asked on the radio and everyone was the same.

This is the normal behaviour for DCS. 

However, there is a special setting for the M2000 that allows you to refuel the fuel tanks aswell if enabled.

this is what most people do i think. there are some YT videos showing a procedure to refill on the ground with F-16. it involves opening the refueling door to relieve pressure in the tanks. i never did it though.

In my testing on F-16C, this procedure works.

1 - Ground crew-RR request "all external fueltanks removing".
2 - After 1st request is finished, one more RR request "new external fueltanks (full filled) loading".

Waiting time becomes longer twice .....
