[BUG] 4.35 MP Tanker
-
Hi,
it seems that when refueling only the host is able to get clearance for pre-contact or contact.
All other players online are be ignored by the tanker. -

Click here please –-> :help:
There is only one BMS 4.35 available in public. So gues what the build no. would be.
There is no crash log since nothing crashed.
How to reproduce? Well… take 4 or 5 squad mates and commit.
What we expect? Well… don’t know. Maybe fuel. -

Then we would really like a more detailed description from you.
How many flight path, weather condition, F-16 type, tanker type, etc. combinations are there?
It’s much easier for you to upload your mission, record the action or provide screenshots, isn’t it?I know you, you guys are pros, so I don’t want to ask questions like:
- Was everyone on the right radio frequency?
- Did number 1 call “Done refueling”
or
- Were all the fuel doors really opened?
On behalf of the entire BMS team, please, I ask you to reconsider your “bug” report. It’s not that complicated and saves our limited time.
Cheers,

We were on the tanker freqency.
We had the fuel doors open.
Everyone (except the host), who asks for fuel, gets “Copy” from the tanker.
Only the host got fuel, all others did not.
I added the TE to the first post. -
And what about the BW used?
-
I have the same bug in a TE I built. AAR training TEs work fine. I’ll share it here after work and maybe someone can figure out what’s wrong with it.
2 humans on 2 ship on Tanker frequency. Lead calls for refuel. Lead cleared for precontact, contact, takes fuel, sends Y-3 command. Tanker says copy, stores boom, and resumes station.
Flown it 3 times and it occurs each time so it should be valuable for reproducing the issue.

There are four 2-ship flights in this TE = 8 seats - which were used? What was the refueling order (Warhawk, Plasma, Cobra…)?
Can you reproduce this issue at all?
Sorry, we have a lot to do here. Please, please, please, give us a 100% repro case.
Thanks!

We did the flight today and yesterday and the first 4 flights were used.
The refueling order was different on both flights and the seat, that was taken by the host, was different on both flights.Today Plasma5 was the 1st at the tanker and got no fuel.
The second flight also got no fuel.
Only the flight, in which the host was the flight lead, got fuel and only the host but not his wingman.
We did not test what would have happened, if the host was not a flight lead.To sum it up: Everyone, except the host, does not get any fuel. It feels like refueling in multip player scenarios does not work for now.

Nick,
I can confirm that a similiar discussion was going on in a Threema chat today.
So, I would take it as a valid concern. -

Then you can do the bug report that is needed. -
@Nick:
Kolbe,
Then you can do the bug report that is needed.Version
4.35.0 (x64)Build
The only one and only that is available right now.Detailed Description
In multiplayer scenarios only the flying host is able to refule.
All others do not get clearance but only a “Copy”.Pictures
NoneExample files
Crash logs
NoneReproducibility Procedure
1. Create a TE with a tanker and multiple AAR capable aircrafts.
2. Find a few pilots, who are willing to fly 4.35 online (could be challinging).
3. Go refueling.Expected Behavior
See BMS 4.34Good luck!

Please do this if you can gather the people to reproduce your experience. The log files (we need the whole set, one from every player connected to the game even if they aren’t tanking) produced will almost certainly give us clarity on what is going on.
Note that this is a standard, best known method if you will, for reporting issues with the tanker…the code has extensive logging because the state machine that drives the whole thing is so darned complicated and debugging it otherwise is pretty hard, especially for MP issues.

And especially it is totally useless to try to debug 4.35 here since it has changed a lot since
So this should not be tested on 4.35 on our side …
There is 90% chance this is fixed already
Just saying -
We performed a TE and Camp test with 4 human pilots and 1 of the human pilots as the HOST with no issues.
So we will continue to perform more tests as we go along and will report back. -
I will have a look in 4.35 though if we have a good repro case ….
-
We just did ta test by jumping in a running campaign hosted on the Falcon Lounge:
- Jumping in a plane in flight (leader of a 2 KF-16) close to a tanker… I could ask tanker, pre-contact, refuel, all OK!
- Jumping in a flight of 2 KF-16 (2 humans) close to tanker… We coud ask, pre-contact, refuel, all OK!
Interested to understand what could be happening for you guys…
Cheers
-
So yes, please – xlog files will help zero in on the mystery.
-
We just did a flight of 4 in a TE and only the person hosting the TE was able to get fuel. All others the tanker ignored. We had 2 tankers in the same package on this mission. We will again test tomorrow but we will put the tankers in separate packages and see what happens. unfortunately their are no logs that i see that will help with this issue.
Report back tomorrow.
