Wrong radio transmit button. You’re probably keying the front radio.

Could you elaborate the answer a little further, please?

I'm using VAICOM Prom and I don't understand how to contact ARCO and also have my wingman refuel on his turn.

Many thanks in advance.

I've also been there

I'm using VaicomPro and proceed as demontrated in the YouTube video:

 

I arrive in the poximity of the tanker at 07:17 (a little late).

1) I approach Texaco and press the spacebar to start the voiceovers with the dialogues between me and the tanker

2) Then I invoke "Approaching for refuel" in VaicomPro using the proper Radio button (for Tthe AN/ARC 182 V/UHF 2 Radio which has been properly set by RIO on channel 3)

3) I receive the answer from Texaco and then I invoke "Ready precontact" and receive "Clear Contact" from Texaco.

4) I refuel my F14 and then I move to the right to leave space to my wingman.

5) I invoke VaicomPro "2, Go to the Tanker" and he answers "Two, Affirm". I would expect him to catch the basket and get gas. Instead he doesn't do that and after a few seconds he says : "Two, rejoining"

 

There is no way to have wingman perform air refuelling before pressing Spacebare to move on and contact Magic 1-1.

What am I doing wrong?

 

Many thanks

I made another attempt this evening. This time I arrived earlier (at 07:05) in the proximity of the carrier (I had to rush though ). 

Then I finished refuelling al 7:12 (it's difficult for me to be any faster ).

I had the time to command a "2, go to tanker".

This time my wingman copied and approached to basket. As soon as he touched the basket with the probe he immediately disconnected and rejoined. 

It was 07:15 at that time.

Maybe the mission has a time frame within to complete the refuelling of both memers of the flight?

Maybe the AI still has enough fuel. As long as you topped up, you’re good.
