Help with Silent Island mission, wingmen won't refuel
I am stuck on the mission Silent Island (mission 5 I think), the first objective is to let your wingmen refuel. I fly to the tanker and they breakoff and fly in formation with the tanker. One off them flies behind the tanker but a few meters behind the fuel spout. I followed them for about an hour and eventually during a turn the first wingman refuelled but I couldn't wait long enough for the second. By that point I had to stop playing and of course when I came back to the game I had to start again.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way I can cheat and skip this objective if it is bugged?
I have tried ordering them to refuel at the tanker using the comms menu. I have also tried flying up close to my wingman with my fuel hatch open which causes them to move away but when they return they have the same problem.
Thanks for any help

You gotta give them a fair bit of time to do it, which can make the fleet decide to pop a SAM off at you. So be careful
Literally an hour? Like I was just flying along tailing them watching YouTube videos.
Genuine question; how does one watch YT videos whilst playing VR? How do you do this?
SteamVR has the ability to place a window in the world or attach it to your wrist. With Vtol VR there is plenty of empty space in the cockpit to put a small window that doesn't obscure anything.
If you want to do it yourself it's an option at the bottom when you are viewing your desktop through the SteamVR menu. You can either float the normal desktop view or specify a specific application window.
What! this is sick, thank you
