CS convoys can only operate from designated major bases. I don't use them so I can't list them, but it is in the manual.

You should be able to CS convoy from anywhere to anywhere. It's the Auto Convoy system that you're thinking of here. I don't know of anyone that uses that.

OK, then his problem may be that the option to use CS only shows up after you select Computer Control?

I'm noticing on some convoys I have setup in a PBEM that are currently underway that I cannot set them to Continuous Supply. Rather, the only two options are Human or Computer control.
Are there restrictions on when I can set a TF (cargo, etc.) to continuous supply?
Oh yeah, about this part:
You have to set them to CS while they are at the port of origin. So basically when you create the TF.

One of the latest beta, if not the most recent beta itself, changes this. Computer Control will no longer appear for CS-capable TFs (at least as I have tested it and while they were in port), and they will cycle between Human Control and CS:(destination). Whether or not he is running this beta, of course, is another matter.

Clicking on Player Control takes you to Computer Control, clicking on Computer Control takes you to CS.
You have to toggle through the choices.

Again, one of the newest betas has changed this. If you have a CS-capable TF, and it is in the port that will allow you to select the CS option, it goes straight from Human to CS:(destination), and if you click it again it goes right back to Human:

Changed CS-capable TF to ‘Human->CS:’ for control; speed remains as original TF
Fix case where same hex patrol not using endurance (randomise expenditure)

That makes sense. Thank you! Most likely my problem.
I am running latest beta.
