Ah, you are correct. Thank you kind sir.

I had not played in a long time and thought to redo some of the tutorials to refresh my memory a bit (yes, I'm aware that a lot of them are out of date.)
While doing the 'MDSP Tutorial 6" I realized that I could not complete it as the mission editor no longer allowed me to create flight plans for ...

Started the submarine tutorials today and realized I was able to launch 8 or more torpedoes at once and be able to change the course for each and every one at the same time, despite the DB for the S 601 Rubis sub saying "Torpedo Wire Control [2 Wires]".

Doesn't that mean I should only be able to ...

This is WAD, the hold waypoints are there to allow aircraft to form-up, we can look into adding exceptions for certain cases like single aircraft but this is a necessary to make sure strike missions are carried out properly. For now you will have to edit the initial hold waypoints as you described ...

I figured out how to fix it, but I don't understand why it's happening. If I change Hold (Start) to a simple Turning Point (Ingress) and delete Hold(End) entirely, then the planes work as intended and there's no circling.

My question now is, why are those waypoints being generated in the first ...

I'm unable to reproduce this; are you sure you're waiting long enough for them to continue on to their next waypoint? They do usually circle a bit to form-up.


I got some screenshots of the issue. Even with a single plane assigned to the mission, who's already at the right altitude before they ...

They do eventually go on to their next waypoint, but they circle like 3-4 times beforehand, even though they’re all in the air, at the correct altitude, and are in flights of 1 so shouldn’t be waiting to form up with each other. Is that normal behaviour?

They’re wasting a ton of fuel for no reason ...

I've read posts from late 2024 saying the devs were aware of this issue and that it was being worked on for the next updates. Did that ever happen? I've tried on Version 1.07.1527 and on the steam beta Version 1.08 Build 1638 and I still have land strike missions circling the (Hold Start) waypoint ...
