Ai stuck to tanker after refueling
-
I was flying a new camp in KTO, was doing 4 ship sweep and to get more time in station area I went to the tanker to refuel. After, What I thought was a great refueling .The AI wouldn’t rejoin formation and flew with the tanker the whole rest of the mission. Has anyone had the same problem or is it my machine.

Happens everytime for me, always.

This is a known issue.
I remember reading that once that when you ask tanker permission to re-fuel you actually change the definition of the flight lead to the tanker (or some other technical explanation of some sort). Due to that, if you give your flight a command during tanker communication you create an exception that keeps the tanker as flight lead (due to game “privileges” bug) and then you basically lose control of your flight.
I’m probably mixing up the terminologies but I’m 99% sure that’s the main issue.
I tried looking up the thread after posting and came up short. My best suggestion is trying to re-generate the bug to confirm.
Try refueling and not give any wing/element/flight commands during refueling (meaning until #4 has been fully disconnected) and see if they come back.
Then try refueling again giving a command and see if they stick.Hope this helps,

Hi,
Before disconnecting of the last one you can talk to them(asking for fuel state for example), the critical time starts when #4 disconnects, don’t give them any order (like Rejoin) until they rejoined and said “In Posision”, then you’ll be all fine and can give them any order you want normally and of-course they do whatever they want as usual but won’t fly with tanker!!! -
Thanks MadBafla ,
After I read your post I created a TE To try your suggestion and the AI formed up like there suppose too. I didn’t give commands until they were formed up and out of site of tanker and the followed every command!
Thanks for the help ,

Ferderf,
Yes they did Won’t break after I gave the command to rejoin. Then they followed the tanker.
