[FIXED] 1253.1 New Homebase not being set

[BDukes]

Looks like you can set the new homebase in the mission editor but the assigned units are taking the change.

Load scenario.
Take a look at the jufra mission. Notice the new homebase in the mission editor is Sigonella. Now launch scenario and notice it continues to be Souda.

I suspect it doesn't change inflight units. Just a guess.

Tried both ways. Doesn't seem to carry over to the unit status.

The new home base override is a mission scope definition of home base.
The mission home base takes precedence over the unit's home base when it RTB it but doesn't replace the individual home base. therefore, if you unassign a unit from a mission it will keep its primary home base.

It might be relevant to reflect this change in the UI. Perhaps displaying the effective home base instead.

Hi G

First, thanks for the feature.

I created the mission and then pushed the button and selected the new home base. I ran the mission and the aircraft landed at the original home base (not the one I assigned). My expectation was the aircraft would land at the new home base. Is this how it's supposed to work?

Homebase is reset however it doesn't go there until after you complete the original flight plan.

I tried hitting the generate flight plan after changing the new base and it didn't make a difference.

Very close on this one!

Still an issue in 1263.1

Aircraft will complete their flightpaths and then fly to the new home base. Updating the flight plan doesn't change the destination.

No pressure. Just keeping this on the radar.

Ok, I got back to this issue and basically the home base work as intended but shows a limitation for any mission with a flight plan since secondary home base was only used for RTB behaviour.
We've extended the home base behaviour so it is being evaluated for any flight plan. It is worth noting that home base selection is less restrictive than the evaluation during flight plan generation, meaning that a flight plan generation may ignore the user-defined home base if the latter can't host the unit at the moment.

This will be available for the next update, thanks for your extensive tests and follow up on this.

Was able to change in new editor and looks great.

This is awesome. Thank you!
