Air units not attacking

Hi all

In this pic I cannot attack with the Tactical Air Group at Rotterdam, as you can see I have it selected and the supposedly units that could be attacked are highlighted nonetheless when I hover the mouse pointer over any of the them I am not getting the airstrike pop up message.
Is this ok? I was able to run airstrikes with other air units.
Iirc I remember reading about a bug when changing from full support to mission only mod or vice versa, but I think this was fixed. When I switched to full support I also set the air unit to "bomb naval"
Again it could be me that I might be missing something.
If need I have a save.
v1.00.040

Thanks

Hmmm quite weird I moved the air unit one hex away from the coast and it was able to perform attacks again [&:][&:][&:]
Any reaason why it cannot attack from the coast?

These air units in Denmark don't even show as possible targets the Norway unit in Oslo.
Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

The bomber in the first screenshot is in a 'Heavy Rain' hex.
I realized it by the tooltip as the graphic effect on the map is almost hidden (lots of tiny blue dots scattered around). That is by a mod by the way.
By the looks there Antwerp is in fair weather and some other hexes - that mod does not really help, and I suspect there may be modifications to the map without modifications to the weather zones affecting them.

Screenshot 2. (With Norway), are in normal rain where they're based (one drop icon - that is like the default game engine).
Their intended targets (in Norway) have 2 drops in the target hex (which means Heavy Rain).

IF an air unit is in a hex affected by a 'double' negative weather (double waterdrop, double snowflake) cannot perform air missions at all (besides rebasing), or if their target is in a hex with 'double' negative weather - that target is simply not viable for that specific turn.

Oh so it was bad weather after all, silly me [:-]
Edit: yes the first pic had a mod for graphics in the second one I decided to exclude the weather graphics and return to the original.
