4.12 ai...

Is it possible to set a flight of 4 AI planes to spawn on the CV deck and then take off?

When I attempted to do so, the 4 AI planes do spawn on the carrier but always in the default formation (diamond). Planes 2-4 have wings folded, which they promptly extend and start engines. However, only plane 1 actually takes off. Planes 2-4 remain at full power on deck.

I think the carriers island structure is causing a collision interference and thus they don't continue with the launch cycle. I also tried this with a flight of 2 AI planes and get the same results.

I could spawn flights of 1 AI at 1 minute intervals and have them circle until a flight is airborne, but the number of waypoint legs around the CV would be large and rather cluttered.

Any pointers greatly appreciated. This may be something only a Flying Nutcase video could solve. I really miss his videos.
