AI Plane Nosediving

[Rex]

I'm writing a large Nevada Map  mission which is not yet complete, but  after downloading the new version of DCS today, I did notice something immediately.

In the mission I have a KJ-2000 performing AWACS, with a single waypoint, and that waypoint has only two actions:

1. AWACS -a

2. Orbit(H) = Hwpt = 30840 ft)

In a circular orbit.

When I started the mission, the aircraft immediately went into a nearly 90 degree vertical dive, and explodes agains the desert floor.  I started the mission again and it did the same thing.

I solved it by giving it a Racetrack, but just fyi.

FWIW, if I drop into F10 before it crashes, and give the unit another waypoint while the mission is in-progress. he will pull out of the dive and abort the suicide attempt.

It may just be a matter of knowing that somebody cares.
