CTD when creating flight plans.

[Dannyp19]

In the attached save if you take any of the strike missions and try to create a flight plan the program locks up and CTD's. I did upgrade this scenario to the latest database using its INI file hoping that might have been the issue, but it still persists. The support mission generated a flight plan, but the strike missions lock up.
I'm not sure if it is a bug, my fault, too much pathfinding, or my machine just can't handle it.
Thanks for looking at this.

I suspect its the very tight no-nav zone requirements of the scenario. My guess is that the CPU is running out of cycles to complete the calculation for the very narrow openings in the no nav zones. Not sure if changing the settings in options would help or not.

A workaround is create a couple transit missions that activate and deactivate through the Ops Planner or using events by playing through thew editor.

Perhaps it is not hanged but busy, needs a very fast computer or too much time.

To avoid it, you may reduce a lot the number of targets per mission. I reduced one of the missions from 17 to 5 and CMO created the flight plans in a few seconds.

Is this still a problem ?
