reported Manston: Bombers park in middle of runway

[Nealius]

The runway is split into three even sections, the middle being used for AI takeoffs and landings. However, the AI will often stop and park right in the middle of this section of the runway, causing other bombers in the pattern to fly off to Eastchurch and orbit indefinitely.

I have no such issue.

I thought I uploaded a track and screenshot but it's not appearing. Have you tried with A-20s? Those will always park in the middle of the runway on my end. 

[Nealius]

Still an issue. It specifically happens with damaged A-20s. The damaged bird will park in the middle of the runway with the crew hopped out of the aircraft, causing other landing AI behind it to collide with it. Undamaged birds clear the runway and taxi to parking as normal.

See sequence of screenshots. Further aircraft was battle damaged and stopped in the middle of the runway. Closer aircraft clipped the parked aircraft. Second screenshot shows explosion when third landing aircaft goes right into the first parked aircraft.

Please, we need a track.

Given that it requires damaged units from action, all I have are these ~65 minute tracks. Issue happens towards the very end.

I was able to reproduce, will look into getting it reported whether its the AI guys or terrain guys or both. Thanks

Ok, right now the AI will divert to the grass runway if there is an issue, we are looking at some of the challenging fixes as well, but no more shutting down Manston with one broken aircraft.

Thanks! I didn't even know there was a grass runway there. I'll have to check that out.
