Hello guys,

I know your supposed to attach a zip file but I feel that is not necessary since this is easy to replicate.

I was playing a scenario and realized by fighters would not refuel with the KA-3B even though it was within 20 miles the Carrier was all that was indicated in range for fuel.

To replicate this just do a blank scenario (in editor) with DB3000 Build 429 put a carrier fighter in air and a carrier some distance away it will indicate distance to carrier as it should. But place a KA-6D intruder near it and the fighter will indeed detect it, but replace it with a KA-3B Skywarrior and it will not.

Thanks in advance

Can you tell me the fighter?

You've got to match the gear so maybe that is the issue.

Thanks!

Mike

I think this save might represent his issue.
The two planes (KA-3B and KA-6D) have similar tanker loads - one is a dedicated tanker aircraft the other a EW aircraft (with drogue).
The fighter (F-14 in my case) when told to refuel ignores the closer KA-3B with the tanker loadout.

Couldn't see any 'jump out' error in database.[:D]

Thanks guys. Added to our list.
