If you fly with an AI wingman , go to the tanker , when near send to your wingman go refuel with help of com menu ( F3 i guess) .

Your wingman go to refuel , once he finish refuel return in formation on you .

OK my mistake .... I use French language DCS .

I just try :

 

To refuel your wingman .

Open your com menu , chose F1 "Flight"

then F3 "Go at "

then F4 To Tanker

 

Your wingman go to tanker for refuel . then done he come to you in formation .

 

It works fine , i have try with AV8B and i m sure it s work with every module AAR Capable . if you use hardcore module (A10C AV8B ....ect ) check your frequencies to communicate with your patrol . FC3 module are simply to use with coms .

Also, when creating missions in the editor and you have several flights which are not part of the player's flight but you want those AI Flights to Air-2-Air refuel under "Advanced Waypoint Options" you can command them (provided they have the equipment) to seek a tanker for refueling and once done they will return to their planned route.

I m note sure ( because i fly most time in coop multiplayer) , but if you fliy with Ai wingman , you must ask your wingman to go tanker First , then you can refuel at your turn .

Wenever , after refuel you don't have anything to ask at your wingman when he have finish his refuel , he take formation on you .

It’s not implemented in the F-18 at the moment. But if you search the forums, there was a post where someone posted a modified comm.lua that added the Go To Tanker to the F-18 wingman comm menu. If I find it I’ll come back and edit this post.
