Mission 6: AI Stuck Holding Short

I want to say Mission 6; it's the foggy Cherbourg mission. When you call tower for taxi instructions your AI wingmen will taxi ahead of you and hold short of the runway. They do this in one or two other missions as well, and take off on their own, but for some reason in Mission 6 they just sit on the taxiway. I have to taxi around them and take off first. Once I'm up, they will snap out of their coma and take off.

Hi Nealius,

Thanks a lot for the report! It's actually an old DCS thing. As soon as you get clearance to taxi, your AI wingmen think they are free to go even if you don't move. The solution to this is NOT to request taxi clearance. Just start rolling. Once you move, the AI wingmen will start to taxi too, but I placed your plane closest to the runway, so they have no chance of obstructing your way :)

I tested the mission, both your way and my way, it should work. Good luck!

Gotcha. I've gotten in the habit of requesting clearance since I'm tired of the Comms menu popping up automatically when I start moving.
