Today whilst tanking (Shell/Mercury) I had a bit of trouble. The tanker was in a left hand turn at the end of the racetrack, I'd been connected for a good period (approx 30 seconds/good for me) and things were stable. Suddenly I got the attention getters and warning tone. In my mind I was nowhere near hitting the tanker or the boom. I stayed connected whilst I understood what was going on and the manually disconnected and cleared from the tanker. The outcome was EAC,GCAS and LASTE on the warning panel, something like AV BUS 2 NOT READY (don't quote me on that) displayed in a yellow box on the displays and a complete loss of the HUD (optic display). So thanks to Icarus (god bless him) I made a head down and very twitchy route back to base (Track IR was brilliant for head down, not sure what I'd have done without it). So was it the tanker and it's twitchy troubles? Or could it have been a random failure? Does our server enable random failures?(I have random failures selected in the DCS options menu). If so, could I have lost the DC ARM BUS?(all fails we're on he same BUS).
As always with me..... Any Ideas?????
