Follow task has inconsistent results

[Avalanche110]

Hello everyone.

 

I have found that a late activated group given a follow command will RTB under the following conditions.

Late activated Group is an F/A-18C or F-14A/B.

Time of day is set to night.

The closest airbase is a Carrier.

the Follow command is issued after an option (i.e EPLRS ON)

 

I have attached a Miz and Trk file that highlights this.

3 groups are set to late activate.

The F/A-18 & F-14 immediately RTB.

The F-16 executes the follow command as intended.

 

If any of the above variables are changed then the F/A-18/F-14 will execute the follow command as intended.

AI groups often don't do as told when they have no waypoint. You need to add one waypoint to each group so they start following the AWACS.

Attached is my edit. It works on my end.
