fixed internally Mission 15 - Sledge don't AAR before the attack

[PawlaczGMD]

I got voice lines that Sledge will fuel up,  but 1 and 2 just went off into the distance without doing it, and 3 stayed in formation with the tanker forever. I fueled up myself and moved on, but the mission triggers were messed up after this. Obviously 3 didn't drop his payload, and later on the Flight of Mig-23 was not intercepted. I killed one of them when they got close, and the other flight claimed it in a voice line, so I imagine they were supposed to kill them. 

No further comms after that, and landing on the carrier didn't end the mission with a success.

There seems to be a big AAR issue in DCS now that affects all campaigns. We're trying to report it in vanilla for ED to fix... marking as DCS bug for the moment.

Happened exactly the same. I could not refuel cause "chicks in tow" reported by Tanker. Sledge 21 and 22 just drifted way into Syria never returning back.

The same. This is the second mission in a row I cannot complete, because of some core DCS bug.

Some months ago there was question-form about the decreasing interest in custom campaigns - this is the main reason for me. If I have limited gaming time, then dedicating 2.5h to something that I have past experience of being broken more often than functioning is hard, becasue it is not fun.

Don't take me wrong, I know that this is something very much out your control, and you work very hard to maneuver around the issues. It's also frustrating for me, because I see the effort that went into this campaign, and it is trully great when it works. And I want more of these narrated campaigns... it is just hard for me to buy them, when I know how temperamental DCS core functionality is...

I think ED mentioned the AAR bug to be solved. We'll check this.

Just happened to me too. Bug still present apparrently
Also, why does the tanker slows down to 220 kias when you request rejoin? Is this also bug ?
Other thing I noticed, wake turbulence seems exaggarated around the tanker. Constant trimming. I tried another misison with no issue.

I'm checking this now. As for tanker's speed - may be something with DCS, it has hard-coded .65M. As for the turbulence, the mission does not enforce this option, so it uses whatever players have checked and the weather turbulence is set to 0, so this is definitely not on my side. I'll see if I can fix any of this myself...

I found a way to fix  this,  should be working for the next patch.

Awesome, thanks!
