Strange AI behavior in an orbit

[BritTorrent]

Hi All,

 

I'm seeing some weird AI behavior in a mission I'm currently making and I can't for the life of me figure it out.

 

In the attached mission I have two RED CAP flights. 2 x 2-MIG-29's. They're supposed to fly to their designated positions and orbit whilst performing a 'Search-in-zone' task.

 

The weird behavior is that the always seem to slow right down on one leg of the orbit (seems to be the west-ish leg). They slow way down, hit about 17 degrees of alpha, and then stall all the way down to about 10,000ft. They'll then turn around, hit the burner and fly back to their designated altitude on the opposite leg.

 

I have got no idea what's causing this. So far I've tried the following;

 

- Increasing their orbit speed, thinking that maybe it was set too slow for them. Didn't do anything.

 

- Decreasing the wind, admittedly it was pretty high before (dynamic weather) as I thought maybe the wind was causing them to stall out due to lack of lift. Didn't do anything.

 

I can't really think of what else could be causing them to slow down so far. I also have 2 x F-14's in this mission performing a similar role, and they're functioning perfectly.

 

Has anybody seen this before? Would somebody mind taking a look if possible and seeing if they can spot anything?

Brit, I am not sure if I am blind but I don't see your F-14A neither on the map or in the object listing. It is helpful to have if you want to compare :D
