AI bombers crash on take off from carrier

[Wraith_V]

Hello

I'm flying an FM-2 and I have to escort a flight of TBF-1 Avengers to their target but the AI Avengers cant seem to take off from their aircraft carrier. They end up crashing into the sea or into the control tower usually blowing up everyone who hasn't taken off yet and sinking the aircraft carrier that they are on, making the mission impossible to complete.

I've flown plenty of escort missions before and not had this problem, any help would be appreciated

I'm playing IL-2 1946 with the 4.08m patch

System:
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Intel Core 2 duo 2.66 GHz
Nvidia GTS 250
4 GB RAM

I don't know a solution for this problem but maybe patching to 4.10 is an idea? That way if the problem persists, it can be included in the "bug reports" section.

Thanks Azimech i'll try that

Depending on carrier speed, weather type and skill level, there are all kinds of things that could be wrong.

What about these elements in the mission you were trying? Normal weather etc?

who made the mission you are flying ? simply could be an error in the persons mission parameters setup (bomb and fuel load to heavy, carrier speed to low)

if it is an oleg vanilla version that came with the regular updates/patches, it should work ok. there was a bug early on in the initial PF release where carrier speeds were very low and many people had problems taking of from carriers with heavy loads. this was corrected later, and afaik the AI never had a major takeoff problem in oleg's missions themselves

if it is a mission or campaign you got from a 3e party, there could be a mission design error (which most likely you can correct in the mission file, by increasing carrier speed (to give increased lift), or reducing bomb/fuel load

I'm doing a US Navy Fighter Pilot dynamic campaign, i'm not running any mods and it's not a user mission.

I just downloaded the 4.10m patch and installed the spash screen pops up and the loading percentage gets to 5% before the game crashes back to the desktop. I read that this is caused by improperly patching and to retry the patch, well i've copied the patch over 3 times now and it still crashes at 5%.

I even just reinstalled it and applied the 4.10 patch immediately afterwards but it's still crashing at 5%.
