fixed AI wingman in a 2 ship flight drops fuel tanks on take off after cold start or hot start parked

The AI wingman in F18C always drops fuel tanks shortly after launch from carrier. leaving him short of fuel and cannot complete a long flight.

The mission is one I built myself using the editor.

I have set Jettison restrict to on, still does it

I previously thought it was solved but it wasn't

After further research it only happens with a 2 ship flight when starting from cold or parked hot.

If doing a runway start with a 2 ship or any start with a 4 ship flight no problem.

Weird

System is Core i9 9900, 32GB RAM, graphics RTX 3080 Seahawk, Windows 10

Further research done

Slimmed down missions with bare minimum of features

2 ship airfield keeps tanks

2 ship carrier drops tanks

4 ship carrier keeps tanks

This was fixed in a recent update although not documented in any change log that I could see
