Fighters crashing

[wjs5]

For some reason when playing the campain in Starshatter the gathering storm about 25% of my friendly fighters crash when attempting ot land on the carrier. Anyone else have that problem?

I've had some issues with this too, and I find it occures more often when I'm running time compression.

Hmm I wonder if there is a fix for it.

Hi,

Does this happen when your carrier is at a standstill or moving or both?

When at a standstill... raise the nose of your carrier slightly.

Slightly.

Yes at a stand still, unfortunatly I am not a high enough rank to actually control the carrier.  This seem to be a major bug as 90% of my friendly fighter cuasualtys are from crashing into the carrier.

It happens to me too. More often than not, it happens when I am far away from the Carrier. I'd guess the problem is with the low-detail models for the carrier and/or fighters, or maybe exact flight paths are given less priority at long distances.

I think tony might have the right answer.  I was flying the first missions when I remembered this thread.  The bug seems to be that when I am far away from the carrier, about half or more of the fighters crash on returning to base.  When I am close enough to see detail, or am in the landing 'pattern' myself, all the fighters seem to do just fine.

Does Matrix ever aknowledge that they are working on specific bugs here?  Is so, I'd be happy to send logs (if I can figure out how).

Cheers.
