I have a situation (Operation Brass Drum, Build 490) where I have a group of 6 F-35s readying for a JDAM mission on LHA 6 America. The planes all landed within a few minutes of each other, and are nearly finished their 6 hour cycle to refuel and rearm. However, when their ready time is finished they do not become ready, and instead they go back to the start of their 6 hour cycle and start counting down again.
There are plenty of munitions available, so that shouldn't be limiting the readying process, and (although I don't know if you track jet fuel this way) the America has enough fuel left (28008 units) to cruise for 2 weeks and 5 days at 20 knots, so that shouldn't be a problem either.
One strange thing I noticed is that when I was looking at the magazines view I had closed the lesser magazines I wasn't interested in (SRBOC, Phalanx, 12.7) to compress the view. Then, after the ready cycle turned over the game had popped them open again. I remember that a couple of weeks back there were problems with items being assigned to the wrong magazines (see the "Drop Tanks in the Meroka magazine" thread). Is it possible that something related is going on, and the software is looking in the wrong magazines to try and load its munitions, and when it can't find them there it starts to ready again?
Thanks.
