No-Nav Zone Problem
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2026 5:32 pm
I'm in need of a little help regarding No-Nav Zones. In the attached scenario I have a Tu-142 Bear F setup to fly a Support Mission in the GIUK Gap. The aircraft takes off from the Kola Peninsula and needs to navigate around a No-Nav covering Norway, Sweden and Finland. The game engine AI is able to get the Bear to the patrol zone, fly the patrol, initiate RTB at Joker (set to 25%) but, it can't navigate back to homebase. The Bear gets stuck part way home every time and ditches. The AI is consistently evaluating the path, resolving the path, evaluating again and so on.
I originally used a No-Nav Zone that covered Norway, Sweden and Finland precisely. That was a lot of reference points so I thought maybe that was too many reference points for the AI to try and resolve during the navigation calculations. So I changed it to a rough area over the same countries with four reference points to see if that changed anything. Still the AI can't get the Bear home.
Is this a glitch with No-Nav Zones or am I doing something wrong? Tried to do my due diligence regarding No-Nav Zones and saw some older posts where some issues have occurred but, they mostly seem to have been resolved.
I'm using v1.09 Public Beta - Build 1776.
