santinif4 Posted June 24 Posted June 24 It used to be that I could start the Instant Action Aerial refueling mission and after contacting the tanker (about a mile ahead of me at the start of the mission - with two AI F-16's already tanking) by the time I caught up to them, the 2 AI jets were finishing up their refueling and would then peel off, and I could then just slide into pre-contact, make the call, get cleared for Contact and proceed to refuel. NOW, however, the AI F-16's just keep cycling themselves back on to the tanker! They are hooked up for about 40 seconds, disconnect and the other one jumps right in again. When I was able to cut in front of one of them and drove up to pre.contact and made that call, the tanker said "chicks in tow, rejoin 1 mile trail, 23,000" or something tomthat effect. And if I pressed on ahead to contact position anyways, it would never connect, and the director lights always remain both red. Anyone else seeing this? Thx 2
Lennykka Posted June 28 Posted June 28 I can confirm this behavior. Instant action mission Air refueling for F-16C in Caucasus map (and probably for the Persian Gulf map as well, but tested that very briefly) stopped working with the latest patch (DCS 2.9.17.11733). 1
Negativghostrdr Posted July 14 Posted July 14 (edited) I've tried Afghanistan as well and confirm these clowns will not get off the tanker! I think the only thing to do is create your own mission. There are some great videos out there for quickly doing that. The mission creator is a great and really easy to pick up tool. Edited July 14 by Negativghostrdr 1
