I have problem with fighter flight of two intercepotors soviet MiG-23M (DB3000 - entry 2611) which are attached to AAW Patrol but immediatelly after take off they go to RTB (mission over). This happened both in 1328.11 and 1328.12 and with databases 502 and 503.

The problem is weird even more as different fighter flight but with soviet MiG-23ML (entry 2610) under same mission works correctly and flies to its patrol area without any problem.

Attached is test scenario with both flights. No idea where is the problem but it looks like some setting in database for MiG-23M but I am not sure.

Thanks for the report

After further testing and comparing MiG-23M to MiG-23MF I have found out that MiG-23M (DB300 entries 2639, 2611 and 878) has in database in AIRCRAFT LOADOUTS setting written under air-to-air loadouts text: "Air Superiority, WVR AAMs".

And that is probably the problem. All other MiG-23 interceptors has in database in air-to-air loadout setting "Air Superiority, BVR AAMs".

But because standard logic for all MiG-23 interceptors is BVR engagement MiG-23M with setting for WVR is already without BVR loadout and thus automatically RTB (mission over) immediatelly after take off.

This can be overruled in EMCON setting for mission by changing "weapon state, pre-planned" to something else than "inherited, use loadout setting".

So correction needs database change for these three entries to be changed to "Air Superiority, BVR AAMs".
