Cowboy10uk Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 hi Guys and gals, just wondering can someone please have a look at this mission and tell me where im going wrong. I cannot for the love of me get the tanker to show up on the radio menu. 251.000 AM, ive tried changing the presets for the aircraft, tried manual tuning, tried both radios in the F18, even tried changing the tanker from a C130 to an S3. but the darn thing refuses to give me an option in the radio menu to select it. Tacan works great, Radio works great with the ships. Its just the tanker that im struggling with. Mission is attached belowCarrier and AAR practise.miz [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission is attached below Hey Cowboy, I'm at work at the moment but I'll certainly give it a look/test when I get home. I'm having a big push with getting to know the ME inside and out to put together some carrier based missions & campaign myself, so I'm quite into the general subject at the mo and would be happy to see if i can sniff out the issue.

Mission is attached below So, first I have no idea what you/DCS did.. but your tanker was definitely bugged. I deleted your aircraft and recreated it. It works now. Also, the first thing I noticed was the 20 waypoints lol. You don't have to do that. Set your desired aircraft down on the map Set desire speed and altitude Set WP1 at the desired location Select WP0 Advanced Waypoint Options Perform Task > Orbit>Race-Track> Desired Speed and altitude within aircraft limitations Vuala!! The aircraft will run a race-track orbit between its' starting location and WP1 until it runs out of fuel and has to RTB.

SolUniverse Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Looked at the fixed mission and still has a few things wrong with it .. In updated mission I didnt see any orbit also speed is waaaay to slow.. Normally, refueling efforts are carried out at about 250–275 knots. Boom systems can go faster; drogue systems are less flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
