Cannot Launch Planes with or without missions

[MidwestMadness]

I have had an issue where I cannot get planes to take off. I typically try to activate a mission but they never fly. When I look at aircraft operations I see the craft stuck in an endless cycle of being prepared. The ready timer ets to 15 minutes and then resets when the time is up. Then, I try to launch them individually, in a group, it is the same result. Typically this happens with fighters or multirole aircraft. It happened with F-4s repeatedly. This has happened across multiple files. I was unable to figure out how to attach a scenario file for some reason, each time i dragged it said it was an impossible task.

Sounds like the airfield is missing taxi-ways, runways, access points or the runway is to short for the type of aircraft trying to take-off. We would need a screenshot or more details to be sure

The forum software does not support .scen files. You need to zip it and then upload it.

I don't work here, but I had a similar issue, and it came down to trying to launch a daytime only strike in the middle of the night. If you could let us know what your loadout is, that could help. For example:

Yeah, It sounds like the OP needs to make sure their loadouts can navigate to and strike the target in the conditions present in game.
