Kirill/Anton - Have you noticed the glitch with the map in single missions?

I've noticed this not happening at the start of missions; at first I theorised it could be something to do with the target select, as if the game is trying to fly the aircraft towards the targeted enemy, but this also happens in Sim and in the missions where you have no targets such as Inspect Airfields. This is a particularly game-breaking problem in Sim, as the map is all we have in that respect, and dropping airspeed and position while looking at it is a real snag.

The reason it feels like the plane is trying to fly itself is because it is. In some single missions you have the possiblity to fly all planes in your flight. You can switch between these flights by going to the map and using the up and down arrows to select different pilots/aircraft. As soon as you enter the map menu, the plane will try to fly itself. I have no idea however where they're designed to go, so can't help you with that.
