Ref Points renaming

[LuckyJim1010]

Just a little 'Gotcha'
I created a ref point and called it SourthernCAP, created a mission and assigned 4 F14's too it.

My Northern CAP having taken out 8 Migs for no loss, and avoided a few SAM's RTB'd Winchester.

Then I noticed a strange thing. the last straggler from the Mig Alley fight was RTB'ing to SouthernCAP not Fallon.
Just as I was about to curse the game, the devs and my ex missus (not necessarily in that order) I noticed that NAS Fallon was now renamed 'SouthernCAP' as well.

Then I noticed my SouthernCAP ref point was still called Ref_269 or whatever.

By this time my 4 F14's on the SoutherCAP mission were formed up at 30K feet and heading West. And I mean West. Next stop was California. And who can blame them, the commander, me, obviously does not know what he is doing and they decided to defect to the land of sunshine, long legged girls and an ocean view.

Now the fun started. No end of renaming Fallon back to NAS Fallon, renaming the SouthernCAP point followed.

Still the F14's were bimbling at 450 Knots into the West.

Much more cursing, drinking strong whiskey etc and then the penny dropped. Over to the mission editor and there it was, no aircraft assigned to the SouthernCAP mission. Assigned the by now laid back hippy pilots of SouthernCAP fame to the mission and watched as they performed a port turn back to station.

The moral of all this - be careful what ref points you have selected. And to the devs - for the love of God give us a deselect all ref points' under the right mouse click.

BTW You can rename Groups as well by using the R key with a group selected. Just make sure you only have that group selected.

Right off to watch Chelsea beat Tottenham. I'm thinking Mourinho places a ref point in the last 3rd, assigns Oscar and Torres to a mission based on that ref point with support from..

I really must get out more.
