Proxima 2 Mission Bug?

When I rendevouz with the TCS Simons and the other convoy ships I should protect, I can't establish an autopilot-link. In the mission objectives-list it stands protect convoy and establish autopilot-link. I flew 15 minutes behind the TCS Simons, but nothing happened, also tried to restart the mission several times. Am I just being stupid, or is this a bug?

how close were you to the capship?

I almost bumped it.

are you sure you had the right capship? try actually bumping it just in case

Weird. Within 950 clicks should be sufficient. You have it 'targetted' ?

Yes, I targetted it.

did you restart the mission? is the latest patch installed? what kind of hardware do you have?

'kay, I ran the simulator.

Flew to Nav One (auto pilot). waited the chatter (about 5 ships need to be in the monitoring list (right). left side ordered auto link searched the simmons afterburned there within 950clicks got the link auto nav enabled

Ok, I was really too far away from the Simons. Problem solved, thanks for the quick responses!
