[LOGGED] B1892 F-15s in a strike mission not leaving the refueling queue

[Nikel]

They remain refueling, when the tanks are already full, instead of continue with the mission like the other 2 F-15s.

There is another group of F-16s that refuel, but for some reason when happens, not always, is happening only to the F-15s.

The refueling WP was added after the FP was created. There is another one when they return.

Do you have a save before the F-15s start the refueling?

I have from the beginning, before taking off, attached below.

But I do not know how to reproduce it.

I have also several saves when it has already happened.

I have observed this behavior from time to time, very difficult to reproduce consistently indeed.

We did some fixes about this in the beta patch on steam and will be in the official release soon.

Thanks for the scenario, I'll run it a few times and see if it's still happening.

[Nikel]

It is very rare indeed and random.

In the second save attached happened only 1 time in many tries.

Could not record a video. But it seemed 1 of the F15s was not refueled and abandoned the group earlier than usual, while the other 3 remained in the refueling when there were already full.

"3 remained in the refueling when there were already full."

I had this happen once several versions ago. I wrote it off as the inability for the 4th to refuel and the other three stayed in the queue waiting for it to refuel. Only time I have seen it happen.

This is the moment when it happens, double flame. Different save of the one posted above.

In this case 1 continued with the flight plan without refueling, while 3 remained.

Another example. In this case a 2nd group is trying also to refuel from the same tanker that is having the bug, when there are other 3 tankers available.

They will remain trying until the mission was cancelled, they ended ditched.

I have experienced this several times. It is almost always requires both of these:

1.) When using very fast game play (single flame, or more)
2.) When the tanker has a limited number of fuel ports, and the entire group could not refuel all at the same time.

A work-a-round is to makes sure that you have enough tankers/ports to handle the group, and refuel only x15, or less (never flame). It seems to work fine that way.
