[FIXED B906.22] Strike Mission Error

[kritter]

In playing the game I noticed when I made a mission to strike ships from a carrier all of the planes launched even though I set a couple of flights for the mission. Am I doing something wrong or is this an error. I am using the latest database and game files. Just start the game and see what happens.

Thanks.

Hi, can you please re-post your save file? There was a problem with forum attachments which has supposedly now been fixed. Thanks!

[kritter]

Sure here you go.

Any ideas?

Hi, I've run the scenario and you have all 100+ F-14s assigned to the strike mission. If you want fewer F-14s to fly the strike, assign fewer to the strike mission.

Yes but in the mission I have set just to run a few at a time. As I understand it, it is not supposed to fly all the planes at once. Am I missing something?

You are confusing the aircraft allocated to the mission with the group size. Group size (1x 2x or 4x or 6x) determines the size of the subgroups (eg, how many wingmen are assigned to each group). The total number of aircraft that will fly a mission is determined by the number allocated to the mission.

In the "Maximum number of flights to fly mission", I have 2 flights. Shouldn't only 2 flights fly at a time?

[kritter]

bump, just checking the maximum number of flights control how many air craft fly a mission at once. This used to work like that just wondering if there was a change or bug

Thanks

You are correct that it works that way in the current official release 1.11.sr6.

Ok thanks, this game is getting better and better all of the time.

Just updated the game to SR7 and it looks like I am still having the same problem. When I set the flight size to 2 flights it still sends all of the flights. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Hi, we have someone looking at this right now and we'll let you know once we have something firm. Thanks!

Thanks,

It says fixed in B906.22 and I am running B906.24 when I asked about the problem. Does this just mean it will be fixed on the next update.

Thanks
