AAR Tanker Speed Changes

Post by Flyco »

Has anyone else noticed that in some of our 1.5 server missions, notably SCAR, the Tanker changes speed when you call "Precontact". Prior to that call it flies at around 165 KIAS, but once you call, it accelerates to around 175. That is fairly annoying, but then, if you do drop out of the pre-contact area, it calls "Return Precontact", and then decelerates back to 165 until you again call "Precontact", which is doubly annoying because you then shoot under him!

I have not noticed other tankers doing it - is there some sort of glitch in this mission?

This is a behaviour we have seen for a long time, I suspect if the speed of the tanker is set higher in the mission waypoints, and it matches the speed selected in the orbit command etc, then it will solve the problem.
