CTD when executing air directives with many aircraft

Hi all,
I'm playing the grand campaign '43-'45 with version 1.00.21. Ordering a air directive with many aircraft involved (> 2000) leads to a CTD during air execution phase. I can supply a save-game Is this a bug or are these huge orders usually intended to break somehow?
Splitting the directive up into several smaller leads to only one directive being executed. That is independent of the number of sorties per day, priority or intensity. Maybe this is related.

Sorry to hear about your problem. I haven't heard of any crashes from large ADs. Please do post a pre-save or email it to
2by3@2by3games.com. Does it repeat when you load the save and run it (if so, that would be very helpful).

Thanks for looking into it. I just found out how to attach a savegame, it is attached to this post.

Thanks, it duplicates, and based on the messages it looks like it is crashing when it gets to the large AF AD. I've sent it to Pavel to look at. Until we are able to make a fix, I suggest you split your 8th AF AD into smaller ADs. Thanks very much for the save.

Thanks and good luck!

Splitting alone does also not work properly. When a smaller target number of aircraft is set for different ADs, usually just one AD is executed. Setting up the participating groups manually leads to the execution of all ADs. Not sure if this is intended or a bug of the automatic AD execution.

There is too many flights that current flak code can handle. I've increased boundaries up to max possible flight values and it is not crashing anymore. You may decrease required plane amounts a bit to fit into current boundaries.

OK. I will try to get around it. ADs with a smaller number of manually selected air groups also helps to get around the issue while maintaining a large scale air campaign.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next patch [;)]
