[Build 1706] Unfollow the Leader
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2025 4:23 pm
Hi
Aircraft seem to be twirling at flight plan waypoints. Each aircraft points at a different destination waypoint. I was asked, but there might be more things to look at in this string.

DWReese seems to have reported this as well if you need more.

I agreed that strike missions do not work well for multiple targets. I have no issue with that. This test was specifically on a single target with a flight of 4. The issue that I try to understand is under what circumstances some a/cs will not drop all their payload and why.
Here's something to check out:
1.) Create your group of four and assign a mission whereby they are all designated to strike the same target, regardless of formation.
2.) All of the planes in the group launch and form up, but only the LEADER shows as be heading for the next waypoint. The other 3 planes are listed as HOLDING at Waypoint 2 (or Waypoint 3, I've forgotten).
3.) If that is the case, then you don't need to go any further with the test. The other three will follow the LEADER, but because they still show as being "Heading for Waypoint 3, even though they have passed it by, they will never drop their ordinance.
4.) The LEADER will strike, and the rest will fire, but never launch.
See if this is what you are experiencing.
Yes I can confirm the different waypoint thing, and the aircraft twirl to correct at each waypoint. Something is definitely up. File added.
