fixed AI Ignore Altitude Change Request to Climb if Near Hostile Units

[Shadow KT]

If AI aircraft have been tasked to attack hostile units, or are near them, they will refuse to climb, when using the altitude slider. They will descend, if you set an altitude lower than their current one, but you will not be able to order them to climb to any altitude higher, than the one they had descended to.

This behavior persists after they have destroyed their target. If you spawn a clean mission with no hostile units, they will follow altitude commands.

Here in this track you can see me trying to tell them to climb, but they will refuse to do so. I order an attack, they complete it and will continue to refuse to climb. They will only follow descend orders.

Second track is just a clean track showing that they follow altitude orders, but only after you give them a new path, which is not the one set in the ME. You should be able to adjust altitude and speed and keep the ME path and functions, without setting a new path.
