Just wanted to chime up and say this is still happening. Just experienced it in Reflected's Speed and Angels Campaign

Started Mission 15 tonight. Loaded up, did my start up. Yes, I got hit by Paco's wing (but didn't get any damage reports). Completed my start up, switched to TAC, gave the thumbs up and just waited, and waited, and waited. The 2nd AI tomcat just sat there in the middle of the deck. I accelerated the game and still nothing.

https://youtu.be/oJR3IaA-mnk?si=up3zKRqfhb2Zj6TK VF-103 is part of Virtual Carrier Strike Group THREE who are a group of likeminded individuals who enjoy the thrills and challenges of virtual combat aviation through the use of Digital Combat Simulator. We come from all walks of life ranging from military duty to real life pilots with a common purpose of becoming the most lethal virtual aviators possible. VF-103 meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 2000 EST to 2200 EST to brief the upcoming flight, get in the air and perform that evening’s sortie, then debrief with lessons learned. We currently have 10 fully qualified pilots and need a couple more skilled sticks to help better execute the mission. Currently we are looking for pilots with a little more experience, preferably ones that can fly formation, AAR, and consistently put it down on the deck. We have dedicated instructor pilots that can bring you up to speed on the more advanced aspects and operations of the Tomcat. New RIOs need not have a minimum experience level. Rules: Minimum age required is 18 years old Must be able to regularly attend squadron training with at least 50% attendance record Must endure and participate in sometimes awkward yet hilarious adult humor Must be of good character New members will go through a one month trial period in which you should be able to maintain 50% attendance to training nights (flexible, we understand real life comes first) and complete IQT (Initial Qualification Training). This allows both us and yourself to see if we are a good fit for one another. Equipment: Some form of head tracking (VR, TrackIR) Hands-on Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) Headset with mic and ability to use Discord Software: NTTR (Or have intention of acquiring within a reasonable period of time) Persian Gulf (Or have intention of acquiring within a reasonable period of time) Syria (Or have intention of acquiring within a reasonable period of time) Supercarrier (Or have intention of acquiring within a reasonable period of time) As mentioned above, certain requirements may be temporarily waived in lieu of the individual planning to purchase the items within a reasonable period of time after recruitment.
