Mission 6 - Wingman after Case 1 departure dropped off his fuel tanks

[KENNY1988]

Hi @Nix Mills,

in mission 6, wingman (305) shortly after case 1 departure dropped off his fuel tanks and have hook down.

I attached TacView file, with this issue. Please, can you look at it?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks @KENNY1988. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about these DCS wingman AI behaviour bugs. There's nothing in the mission or scripting that tells it to do this.

However, looking at your Tacview, I suspect the problem is that your wingman took off almost a minute ahead you. It can confuse it making it decide to prepare for recovery (jettison full tanks and hook down). 

Other common causes to odd wingman behaviours can be unlicensed third-party mods installed (not including SRS or Open Kneeboard) - see Common Issues and Bugs section. Common mods like Viacom and even Tacview (sorry) are known to cause some issues in campaigns.

If the problem persists, and it is only dropping its tanks, then I suggest you just continue the mission and let wingman be wingman.

Hope you're otherwise enjoying your deployment. Ram on.

You're welcome Nix.

Yeah, I thought it's DCS problem.

Next try, I will try to take-off faster . And eventually, send wingman to refuel with Arco .

I have no mod installed, besides TacView. I know, TacView could do a mess, but it's a great tool for debriefing.

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, The Rampagers is a great campaign and I'm really enjoying it.

Thank you, for this campaign!
