fixed Cruise missiles flying in circles

[Low_Quality]

Some missiles in the STP follow mode may start circling, I also heard there is a bug with incorrect altitude tracking, but I could not catch this.
The behavior is the same both in PP mode and in TOO

In .trk , one of the rockets came out of this circle with its last breath and flew to the next STP

Incorrectly expressed the idea

Tried the orig SLAM in both TOO and PP mode, in both cases the missile acted as intended. But the SLAM-ER version is bugged somehow. In both cases (too and PP) the missile suddenly (after a few miles of normal flight) decides to perform "circle change flight" (360° left turn followed by 360° right turn and then again and again). I tried adding STPs with a similar result. (all this was tested in the missioneditor, fresh mission with 3 waypoints for the f18).

Then i tested it again, but only set 1 waypoint in the mission editor for the F18 this time, and suddenly the missile performed exactly how it should. But once i have e.g. 3 wypts, and i set my TOO to wypt 3 e.g., the missile wouldn't fly correctly and did the "circular change flight" thing. I read Chucks guide on them, watched multiple tutorials and i did everything as supposed and also i remembering using them about a year ago with no problems at all. So its almost certainly no user error.

Same theme

yes today I fired 4 of them in 2 different sorties and 3  out of 4 missiles never reached the target because they starting flying circles, I was using simple PP mode not adding waypoints or anything, also flying at MED alt and no datalink pod.

Is this the same issue?

yes that is what my slammers are doing when I fire them in pp.

Thanks for your track. Other cruise missiles are also affected, and the issue is reported.

Tomahawk cruise missiles frequently proceed partway to designated target then orbit until fuel exhausted.  This behavior occurs when using scripting or the mission editor in both 'Fire at Point' or when assigned a specific group or unit as a target.  Occasionally, one will perform as expected and hit the target but this has become the exception.  Please fix!

It's fixed internally. This bug should vanish with the next OB update.
