need track replay AI refueling broken

[mArTiNkOpAc]

Hi, I have been practicing the AAR with F-16C in one of the instant action scenarios and I found that the AI flight that is supposed to refuel before us connects to the tanker, then imidiately disconnects and switches with wingman. This keeps repeating forever and I'm unable to get a turn. This happens with every instant action scenario I have tried. What's happening and how to fix it?

Thanks for tips

Hi, 

we would need to see a track replay example to check what is happening. Can you provide one?

thank you

Here it is. What seems to happen is that once they refuel they move back into the formation with the tanker and once I request rejoin, they move into pre-contact.

I'm not sure it's related but there is an issue of AI fuel probes not aligning with the basket (and not taking on fuel) when the tanker is in a bank.  When the tanker goes wings level, the probe pops into position and all is okay.

I posted this exact subject back on 24 June. They still haven't fixed anything apparently...

Same with AI F-14's - once tasked to refuel, they will not leave the tanker even if there is a stop command.

Can confirm this behaviour

Easy to test for them. Just launch Instant Action Caucasus Refueling F16 Mission. Accelerate time and you will see the AI doing that refueling loop.
The two-ship AI that are refueling when you arrive are doing what the OP has described.

I had to gun down the F16 to practice refueling
