Carrier flights load screen lock up
-
I noticed in flights from carriers that include an escort from the same squadron, the load screen locks up and you must END PROCESS to get out.
At first I thought it was my bug in a new campaign, but then I checked with original KTO and this still happens (less frequently but still does).The only solution I could come up with is to set your own flights and never get escorts from carrier.
I didnt find any other people mentioning this problem so I thought it might be just me. The Jackal PMed me and said he noticed it on my Carrier ops ITO camp, so I am trying to find a better solution.
Has anyone have this problem also? IF so Has a solution been discovered?

I just tried to make a video of this glitch in KTO, and couldn’t re-create the glitch by setting escorts to my strike package from my own sqdrn off the carrier.
but I noticed HQ placed escorts are always present when the load screen lock up happens. my load screen locks up on the second bar of the process line across the bottom. -
i noticed this as well prior to update 2
what happened for me was that i planed a single F18 and a single F16 in the same package. the load screen would not go beyond 2 bars.
when i rolled back to before i planned that f18 flight i left out the f16 flight and i noticed that suddenly the F18C i tasked before could not be tasked. turns out there were no f18’s available. i could not reproduce this though. but it might be the same issue you are having.
when i tasked an F18D and an F16 it worked just fine.

THis seems the exact issue Im having yes.
Has update 2 fixed the issue I have not been able to test it yet.
this glitch is a major problem in Carrier OPS ITO -
havent been able to reproduce it yet.

its still an issue so im still working on it and still asking for help or advice

Thanks Obi1,
I dont know how i missed that thread I guess the key word in my search bared to many unrelated results and i gave up.So its a known issue and may be delt with when it is a priority.
however I have figured out how to fix the DTC for carrier issue. and am going to make sure to add that to an update for current theaters I was involved in and future releases. -
I’m still having this problem in U2 in carrier based missions. My calsign is small, so I don’t think that is the problem. My work around has been to restart the program and let the timer go beyond the takeoff time then enter en-route. Sad when I miss the catapult though

shasta_man,
that is a good work around and will let you keep the escorts. do you know how to set your own flights? you cant take escorts from the carrier but you get the catapult. I guess these two options are the only fix for now. Carriers Ops are my favorite so I am going to keep trying to find a solution but dont hold your breath… it may be a whileedit
another workaround from BadBoy: when you begin a new campaign, wait a few minutes before joining the carrier’s squadrons. Commit first into a “no Carrier squadron” (F16 or whatever), let the campaign run some minutes then join the carrier’s squadron -not tested by me yet -
Thanks starrats. I’ll finish up this campaign and try letting it run a bit first per the other recommendation. FA-18’s do rock!
