Tanker

[Eightball]

For a few days now (I think since the last update) I've had the problem that the 135 tanker doesn't allow the F4 to be refueled.
The whole thing is on the Nevada map. Is this a new bug?

[Zabuzard]

Havent heard of that yet. Can you reproduce it? If so, please send a (working) track or at least the mission, thanks.

Would also be helpful if you can elaborate a bit on what "doesnt allow" means

[Eightball]

Not allowed means the boomer can't get out. I will test it again tomorrow.

I found the error. It was the radio. It was set to simple

Yes, that is a current DCS bug. "Easy communications" is always active upon starting DCS and has to be deactivated manually every time...

Only if you use the launcher.

Embarrassing question: How can I start DCS without using  the launcher?

There is a checkbox somewhere on the launcher that is ticked by default. Unticking it launches DCS in the old-fashioned way.

Similarly, there is a checkbox in the DCS main options somewhere that allows you to re-enable the launcher.

I don’t use the launcher so I can’t tell you exactly where that checkbox is. But I’m sure you’ll find it if you look around a bit: I found it just fine

Should be this guy here:

Alternatively, you can also start the DCS executable with the command --no-launcher.
