[FIXED INTERNALLY]AI Aircraft Coordinated Launching from Stennis Broke

[TheThumper]

Since my post in Mission Editor section went unanswered I thought I would post here as well as it appears to (I guess) be a bug.

 

NOTE: Mission attached demonstrating behavior

 

Behavior has changed in the last couple releases (in a way that seems detrimental).

 

Setup:

Carrier moving at 11 knots with 4 aircraft added with WAYPOINT TYPE set to "takeoff from runway" and PRK set to 1-4 respectively.

 

Observation:

In release version (2.5.5.41371) and older OB versions at mission start/unpause, all 4 aircraft are in place on catapults and launch sequentially (1&3, then 2&4) as expected.

 

In OpenBeta(OB 2.5.6.45915) at mission start/unpause, only aircraft on catapult 1 appears (other 3 aircraft are missing). Once aircraft 1 launches only then does aircraft appear on catapult 2. This behavior is repeated for aircraft 3&4. Each aircraft is spawned ~57 seconds apart.

 

I know the super-carrier is imminent and this may be addressed there, but wanted to highlight this change to make folks aware.

 

Any insight on knowledge of the issue, potential workarounds is greatly appreciated.

Please add a track replay showing the issue and we will check.

 

Coming changes to carriers may help in this regard

 

thank you
