Refueling AI problems

[Silver_Dragon]

I create a mission to test some Refueling aircrafts, and discover some issues:

- The tanker aircraft (a Russian Il-78) reach the Orbit zone, but the airplane continue straight flight to the map border, ignoring the orbit refuel assigned. If a airplane contact with the tanker, the last continue straight flight and no evade terrain, hit them.

- The second aircraft, a (A-50 AWACS) make contact in a incorrect position, with the receptacle into the A-50 nose.

- The refuel host gondole don't display advice lights.

- continue start and stop refueling on the debriefing log.

- Other two aircraft (2xSu-30), assigned to been refueling, ignore them and move to the nearest base.

 

Attach mission, log, trk and some images.

I make a continuous test of all DCS:World for il-78 compatibility, all target aircraft set to 25% fuel load for test.

Refuel:

-Tu-160

-Su-34

-Su-33

-Mig-31

-Su-24

No Refuel (ignore tanker):

-Tu-142

-Tu-95

-Tu-22M3

-Su-30

No capable:

-Su-27

-Mig-29S

-Mig-29A

-Mig-25

-Mig-23

-Mig-27

-L-39ZA

 

 

 

PD: That post has been update meanwhile I make the test

PD: The refuel contact point has erroneous, see images. The il-78 only repost one airplane at once, don´t deploy exterior refuel points. In some circumstances, the reposting aircraft approach very fast to the il-78, make a dangerous turn near the il-78 and make a orbit to make another intent.

If a no capable or ignoring tanker aircraft reach to the way-point to refuel, that airplane don't turn to the next waypoint, continuing to the map border.

Was this bug corrected?

 

I flown version 1.2.8. and Su-33 AI still can't refuel. Just stays behind the refuel probe and never gets contact. I don't have a track but should be reproducible.

 

Just order AI to go to tanker.

This seems to be a problem for all ship that require a basket for refueling. Mirages and Hornets will not connect to Viking tanker. Planes refueling nozzle will rest on the outside of the basket and never connect.
