Unable to change the loadout at a FARP

[Chewmann]

I am not able to change the loaded armaments on my Kiowa sitting at a FARP.  Once you jump in the mission you have 4 hellfires.  I've tried to change the loadout then after that didn't work I tried to unload the AGMs first just to get them off, but that didn't work either.  Any idea?

Is there an ammo truck present at the FARP? I'm asking because there need to be one and you need to be close to it in order to be able to rearm at a FARP.

As QuiGon says you need a bunch of vehicles/buildings at a FARP to be able to rearm, refuel, communicate with it over radio etc. There's also a max distance they can be from your aircraft.

thanks for the feedback. I do not have anything other than the FARP at this time. I'll add trucks and see if it resolved my issue. 

Thanks

If you "build" a FARP with all FARP units, no any issue so perhaps you missed something in the Mission Editor.

This thread gives a BLUFOR FARP example and links to the relevant DCS Manual/pages and/or Hoggit World list of FARP vehicles.

I've tried everything I can think of to get the rearm/refuel to work.

I have an invisible FARP, a HMMWV (for comms), a M939 (for rearm), a M978 (for refuel), FARP ammo dumps, FARP fuel dump, and other items I think that might help but no luck.  I notice when I say to rearm, I don't hear the "copy" response.

I did not find an issue when testing in Single Player - perhaps you've used support vehicles from the "static" tab instead of from the "ground units" tab ?

Attached is a simple FARP example with a cold start Kiowa that requires rearming/refuelling before take off.

Tested using DCS 2.9.6.58056

Turns out, one of the units I had "in" the FARP I created was a red coalition unit accidentally.  Once I FINALLY figured that out, it now works as advertised.
