AI going stupid outside Mission Editor

[Tom P]

As of the last patch when making two missions. The AI did exactly what they were supposed to multiple times to confirm it worked in ME. When playing the mission outside of ME the AI went completely stupid and did not follow/do what they were supposed to like they completed in ME. 

The first mission I made 3 AI tasked with eliminating a HAWK site, and accomplished it very smartly. During the mission outside ME. The AI was fighting stall speeds and flying off course, just in general they performed pretty bad.  *Edit* Also had to redo the AWACS spawn. In ME the AWACS took off form the runway. During the actual mission it just sat there on the runway, had to edit that and run it with the AWACS already in the air. 

Second mission I had 3 AI attack an airfield. 1 attack a SAM site, while the other 2 dropped bombs after the SAM was cleared. Worked perfect in ME. During the mission outside ME. The AI dropped bombs on some buildings and fly the off course. 

My community has 5 popular servers up and have I not checked the AI performance yet as I was working on these last two "quick fun" missions for a small group. Hopefully this recent patch has not messed up the servers AI performance for all DCS players.

Not sure if a ME track file vs actual gameplay track file will help but I can provide them if needed, if they will show a difference.

Most of the missions I have created prior to version 2.8 for A-10CII include a wingman or a flight group. After downloading v2.8 stable, wingmen go rogue in all the mssions I have checked after target completion and go flying off into the sunset until they exhaust fuel and eject. They verbally repond to commands to RTB but keep flying off into the sunset. (They do not verbally repond to Rejoin commands.) Naive me... I thought beta versions were to eliminate basic bugs like this.

I have attached a track file of a mission where my wingman goes stupid with v2.8 if anyone has any suggetsions for a fix. I tried to write a DCS ticket, but was not accepted since the form only gives you 2.7 stable o 2.8 beta options.      

Wingman goes stupid again.trk
