The answer is easy: don't use the autopilot with the exception of a few seconds at mission start.

This erring behaviour of the AI happened to me too, and there is nothing you can do about it, safe editing the missions and set the first waypoint action to 'follow'. Then you can use the autopilot.

When I brought that matter up in the German Ubi forum, Desastersoft stated my approach to solve this problem has potential unknown side effects and therefore they wouldn't change it, because they would have to playtest all the missions again.

Purchased & installed "Wick vs Dundas" yesterday. No issues whatsoever. Fired it up and flew the first Hurricane mission. Frame rates excellent even from detailed Northolt airfield. Airfields feel "alive" with vehicle traffic, buildings, other aircraft both static and aloft.

Intercepted lone He111. Will have to re-activate my Voice Activated Command (VAC) 3rd party software for wingman/flight commands -- too awkward to hunt 'n peck the menu while flying. Also have to remember to set gyrocompass on the ground before taking off -- it's so awkward doing it while flying!

Was called away from PC at mid-mission, so had to abort. I was advised by the sim that my mates are laughing at me and declaring me to be "a disorientated pigeon" for failing to land my aircraft! Nice touch! LOL

I'll see how frame rates hold up when encountering large formations further into this campaign. So far, it's playing very well!

Do any of them work? Besides Formation that is.

Are you going to do a "English" version of the "Channel Battles" ?

I have Helmut vrs Wick

But to have a non linear campaign would be graet

Good question, Tintifaxl. Up until now, 100% of my CoD flying has been online. I'll have to try some offline Quick Missions just to check and see.

Anyone reading this is welcome to jump in here if you've tried offline menu commands already!

Roger that. I was trying to get my wingman to attack the lone He111, but he seemed to be ignoring me like a proper git! LOL
