Before playing Sahel Slugfest, I set Doctrine for the French/Chadian aircraft. During the game, I found that my settings on the General tab of the Doctrines window (notably for AutoEvade, Refuelling, Ignore Plotted Course and Weapon State) had reverted to the default values. My settings on the EMCON and WRA tabs were retained.

As it stands, the player is obliged to set General tab Doctrine for aircraft when they first launch as, at this point, the values ARE retained. Needless to say, this isn't always convenient in the middle of a hectic game. It should be possible to set them and have them retained at any time.

We're these aircraft put onto missions with different doctrine settings? There is a pop-up that asks if you want them to revert to default doctrine or stay with the altered ones from the general doctrines tab

Most, if not all of the aircraft had pre-set Missions specified by the scenario designer. I removed all of these Missions and set my own Doctrine. This then reverted to the standard game defaults for the General tab only.

It occurred to me that deleting the pre-set Missions might have been the problem, but it recurred later after I had restored my own settings. The only way to fix it was to launch the plane and reset the Doctrine then. My settings were then retained.

I don't usually use Missions (except for ASW and sometimes CAP) because I feel I have more control doing things manually. I realise that this puts me in the minority in the community, but that's how I play.

I'm encountering this problem again in Northern Fury 31. I note that it only affects aircraft, not ships.

Do you have a specific way to repro de issue step by step?

I checked the NF#31 scenario, change some settings on the predefined missions, and seems fine
