Formation Editor Air Patrols
Posted: Fri Aug 02, 2013 1:34 am
I am experiencing a problem with Formation Editor Air Patrols. Here is my situation:
Sometimes I like to create a couple helicopter ASW patrol zones in the outer rings of my formation editor. I follow the steps in the manual and they work fine. However, my problem arises if I detach one of the helos (to attack a sub contact for example), then I can't get the helo to return to his patrol zone in the formation editor? I try to create a new one, but this doesn't work. Is there a way to clear these patrol zones in the formation editor? All that keeps happening is that my helos go through the ready countdown, then I get a message saying they are detached from TF Group and then they ready again. However, they don't launch and search the patrol zone (within the editor) that I previously set up. Nor can I get rid of the patrol zone I already created. Am I missing something?
